Results day: The UK's 25 best universities named by global ranking
Choosing which university holds the keys to your future will be no easy feat for many of this year's prospective scholars. Students across England, Wales, and Northern Ireland will be getting their A Level results next week – with their results day falling on Thursday, August 14 this year – while Scottish pupils received their Highers results earlier this week. The culmination of years of hard work and time spent studying, for those planning on heading off to university this year, results day is also when their future path becomes a little clearer. Universities tend to send out offers to those with conditional places on results day, provided candidates have met their grade requirements. But nationwide, many young students are yet to decide where they want to study, whether it's because they've changed their mind about their course, applied late, have several tempting offers waiting, or their grades end up leaving them navigating the Clearing process. Some university hopefuls may even have aspirations on the world stage, and will want to consider universities' international reputations when making a final call on where to study. With these learners in mind, we've taken a look at the most highly ranked UK universities according to U.S. News & World Report, an American consumer advice and analysis publisher. Its 2025/26 university rankings score 96 universities across the UK – and more than 2,500 globally – based on a range of metrics; which are primarily drawn from their research performance, and how they've been rated by members of the academic community around the world and within Europe. You can see its full methodology here. Each institution is given a score out of 100, so we've created a league table of the UK's top performers. As well as their scores and local placing, we've included where they rank on the global charts, too. Here are the top 25 from across the country, for the upcoming academic year: 1 . University of Oxford Perhaps the UK's best known university, this prestigious institution in Oxford, in England's South East, took out the top spot.

Despite potholes, roundabouts and construction, US News ranks Indiana road quality as No. 1 in the country
U.S. News & World Report released a new list ranking the best states in the country and further ranked states in categories and sub-categories, like infrastructure and affordability. What Indiana ranked No. 1 in may be surprising to Hoosiers: road quality. That's right — despite all our potholes, roundabouts and seemingly endless road construction, Indiana somehow still came out on top for road quality compared to other states. Here's what we know about the ranking. According to U.S. News & World Report's methodology, the metric of "Road Quality" reflects the percentage of road miles considered to be in poor condition in each state, according to data from the Federal Highway Administration. So according to this data, Indiana has the lowest percentage of road miles considered to be in poor condition, which certainly may be surprising to Indiana drivers. These are the top 10 states ranked by road quality according to U.S. News & World Report: While Indiana managed to rank in the top spot for this sub-category, when stacked up against all the other categories, Indiana didn't rank quite as highly. For their "Best States 2025" ranking, according to their methodology, they considered the following eight categories and their consecutive weights on the ranking: Keeping those categories in mind, Indiana ranked as the 33rd best state in the country, putting us in the lower half of the overall ranking.

Three NYC hospitals were just ranked among the nation's best
File under: actually good news. Three New York City hospitals just landed spots on U.S. News & World Report's annual Honor Roll, a coveted list that names the top 20 medical centers in the country. And no surprise here—they're all heavy hitters. Mount Sinai Hospital, NYU Langone and NewYork-Presbyterian-Columbia and Cornell were all recognized for their high-quality care across a wide range of specialties, from heart surgery to neurology to pediatric care. They also ranked as the top three hospitals in the state, making New York City officially the best place to get patched up. NYU Langone pulled off something no other hospital in the country did this year: it snagged more No. 1 specialty rankings than anyone else. That includes top marks in neurology, cardiology, pulmonology and geriatric care. So yeah, they're kind of a big deal. Not to be outdone, NewYork-Presbyterian made the Honor Roll for the 22nd straight year, with 12 specialties landing in the national Top 10. And Mount Sinai also cracked the list thanks to strong showings in 12 adult specialties and three pediatric ones, plus the kind of science-first, patient-centered approach that earned them a glowing shout-out from their CEO. The rankings are based on patient outcomes, specialty performance and behind-the-scenes metrics that make healthcare nerds swoon. It's a way for patients to figure out where to go when things get serious—and for hospitals to flex a little. Other local notables: Montefiore Einstein in the Bronx and Lenox Hill Hospital both placed in the state's top five and 11 NYC Health + Hospitals locations made the broader 'Best Hospitals' list.

U.S. News Rates Johns Hopkins as Top Rheumatology Hospital
For the 8th consecutive year, Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore has been ranked as the best hospital for rheumatology by U.S. News & World Report. The Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, took the second place, while Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) in New York City took third. The magazine announced the 2025-2026 rankings on July 29. The rankings through No. 9 remain the same as 2024-2025, though, this year, the University of Michigan Health, Ann Arbor, Michigan, supplanted University of Alabama at Birmingham Hospital for the No. 10 spot. U.S. News & World Report ranks hospitals in 15 specialties; while most specialty rankings are based on objective performance measures, the rankings for ophthalmology, psychiatry, and rheumatology are based on expert opinion. The top 10 rheumatology hospitals were nominated by at least 5% of rheumatologist respondents to U.S. News surveys in 2022, 2023, and 2024. An additional 18 hospitals were recommended by at least 1% of responding rheumatologists. The top 10 hospitals were: Johns Hopkins Hospital Cleveland Clinic HSS, New York-Presbyterian University Hospital of Columbia and Cornell Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston University of California San Francisco (UCSF) Health-UCSF Medical Center University of California Los Angeles Medical Center NYU Langone Hospitals, New York City University of Michigan Health All 10 hospitals on this list also made the Best Hospitals Honor Roll for 2025-2026, meaning they were nationally ranked across multiple specialties.
