00:00 The Times and the Sunday Times' Good University Guide 2024, which is the 30th edition of the
00:05 ranking, has been published. The eagerly anticipated list has revealed the best academic institutions
00:10 for the next financial year. Coming out on top was University of St Andrews, which has
00:15 usurped the place of the University of Oxford, which was ranked first last year and comes
00:20 in second on this year's list. Ranked third was University of Cambridge. In fourth came
00:25 London's School of Economics and Political Science, and in fifth came Imperial College
00:30 London. Helen Davies, editor of the Good University Guide, said, "The higher education landscape
00:36 has never been tougher. It is more competitive to get a place at our top institutions. The
00:42 cost of attending university has soared, leaving graduates with extraordinary debt, and in
00:47 many cases, campus life still bears the scars of the pandemic." She went on to say that
00:53 lecturers on strike and the marketing crisis is a running scandal.
