A new university league table reveals three of the top five UK institutions for employability are in London.

The London Business School, London School of Economics, and Imperial College were all named in the top five UK universities based on employability by the Center for World University Rankings (CWUR). Cambridge and Oxford took the top two spots.

The CWUR, which published its global rankings today, analysed universities across the world based on four factors — quality of education, employability, quality of faculty and research performance.

Harvard took the overall global top spot and was named top university in the world, followed by Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Stanford. Cambridge and Oxford universities were ranked fourth and fifth respectively, and other American universities made up the rest of the top ten.
