UK's best Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) universities [Rankings]

Below is a list of best universities in the United Kingdom ranked based on their research performance in Human-Computer Interaction. A graph of 2.24M citations received by 86.5K academic papers made by 117 universities in the United Kingdom was used to calculate publications' ratings, which then were adjusted for release dates and added to final scores.

We don't distinguish between undergraduate and graduate programs nor do we adjust for current majors offered. You can find information about granted degrees on a university page but always double-check with the university website.
