English-speaking universities continue to dominate the world, according to a new ranking from the Times Higher Education (THE) supplement released on Thursday.

Of the top 24, 16 were American and six were British.

Canada and Switzerland also had one entry each.

The rankings are based on the teaching, research and citations of every university, with each category weighted at 30% of the overall mark.

Industry income and international outlook were also taken into account, but given a much smaller weighting in the eventual score.
