The top 10 young universities in the UK are:

University of Dundee (established 1967) 

University of Bath (1966) 

University of Surrey (1966) 

University of Stirling (1967) 

Plymouth University (1992) 

Loughborough University (1966) 

Aston University (1966) 

Brunel University London (1966) 

City University London (1966) 

Heriot-Watt University (1966)

Rankings are taken from 150 universities from 39 different countries. 13 performance indicators are used to ascertain THE’s judgement, including research, teaching, knowledge transfer and international activity.
