Quantum and Particle physics in England: Best universities Ranked

Below is a list of best universities in England ranked based on their research performance in Quantum and Particle physics. A graph of 40.4M citations received by 1.34M academic papers made by 111 universities in England 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.
