El británico The Times ha publicado recientemente el listado con las mejores universidades del mundo en 2011 según su reputación.

La lista tiene en cabeza a la archiconocida Harvard University, seguida del MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), quizá el centro tecnológico con más prestigio del mundo.

La nota negativa es la ausencia de universidades españolas en los primeros puestos del ránking, teniendo que bajar hasta la posición 142 para encontrarnos con la Universidad de Barcelona.
