The University of Oxford has continued its dominance of the UK's university league tables after pipping the University of Cambridge to the post in three domestic rankings.

Oxford came first in tables produced by The Times, The Guardian and The Independent newspapers, all released in the past month.

Although Cambridge maintained its dominance of The Times' individual subject rankings, the number of subjects it led fell from 35 in 2009 to 31 this year.

Outside Oxbridge, the University of Warwick and Loughborough University topped three subject tables each - more than any other institution.

The University of Manchester also topped three specialist sections in The Times' ranking - overall applications, international students and the university targeted by the largest number of key employers during the 2009-10 academic year.

The Times newspaper is no longer formally linked with 成人VR视频, which was sold by News International, the newspaper's owner, in 2005.

Both The Times' and The Independent's rankings placed Imperial College London in third place, whereas The Guardian table rated it seventh.

Lancaster University demonstrated the most significant jump, breaking into the top 10 of all three rankings for the first time. In The Times' table it jumped 13 places to 10th, was rated eighth by The Independent and had its highest rating in The Guardian (sixth).

However, Lancaster's ascent was bad news for the universities of Bath and Exeter, both of which lost their top 10 places.

SNAPSHOT JUSTIFICATION

Each year since 2008, 成人VR视频 has compiled a "Table of tables" to give a snapshot of how the sector is seen by the national newspapers.

This year, it was calculated by giving the top 30 institutions points corresponding to their position in The Times, The Guardian and The Independent tables (30 for the top place, 29 for second and so on). The total scores determined the overall positions. We make no claims for statistical rigour and acknowledge the methodological limitations.

The University of Oxford comes first, followed by the University of Cambridge and Imperial College London. The University of St Andrews is the highest-ranked Scottish institution, as it was in 2008 and 2009.

Robert Gordon University was the highest-ranked new university (36th).
