A perceived need for an international ranking of universities for UK purposes was highlighted in December 2003 in Richard Lambert's review of university-industry collaboration in Britain[16] for HM Treasury, the finance ministry of the United Kingdom. Amongst its recommendations were world university rankings, which Lambert said would help the UK to gauge the global standing of its universities. The idea for the rankings was credited in Ben Wildavsky's book, The Great Brain Race: How Global Universities are Reshaping the World,[17] to then-editor of THE, John O'Leary. THE chose to partner with educational and careers advice company Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) to supply the data, appointing Martin Ince,[18] formerly deputy editor and later a contractor to THE, to manage the project. Between 2004 and 2009, QS produced the rankings in partnership with THE. In 2009, THE announced they would produce their own rankings, the Times Higher Education World University Rankings, in partnership with Thomson Reuters. THE cited an asserted weakness in the methodology of the original rankings,[19] as well as a perceived favoritism in the existing methodology for science over the humanities,[20] as two of the key reasons for the decision to split with QS. QS retained intellectual property in the prior rankings and the methodology used to compile them,[citation needed] and continues to produce rankings based on that methodology, which are now called the QS World University Rankings.[21] THE created a new methodology with Thomson Reuters, and published the first Times Higher Education World University Rankings in September 2010.

Dope place, nice food, smart people, risk a bit of depression but totally worth it
Best university there is in the world. Good lectures and professors. Wonderful buildings.
The terraces in front of the University are a great place to get views over the city and all the way down to the lake. It's easy to get to by tram so you don't have the steep climb up the hill. Photos show view from the University terrace and view of the University terrace from the park on the hill the other side of the river.
