ETH President Joël Mesot commented in a press release from the university: “Our mission is to serve society. On this basis, it is the daily commitment of our people to education, research, and knowledge sharing that makes ETH Zurich one of the best universities in the world.”
The University of Oxford remained in first place for the overall assessment this year. Apart from the University of Cambridge in fifth place, the remaining universities in the top 10 are all from the USA.
