Innovation capabilities in the United Kingdom are unconfirmed with a decrease in the highest UNIS in the world rankings

The best British universities in the world rankings fell last week, as experts raised red flags about the region’s ability to continue to attract international talents and care for innovation.

Annual QS World University Categories I saw the universities of the British elite Oxford and Cambridge falling one place to the fourth and sixth, respectively. Meanwhile, 54 of 90 British universities fell into the classification. It includes a number of pioneers, including Edinburgh University, which dropped seven places to 34, and the London College of Economics and Political Science, which decreased six places to 56.

QS International Classifications measure the performance of more than 1500 universities in more than 100 worldwide sites using measures such as research and discovery, learning experience, recruitment, global participation, and sustainability.

However, Sankar Sivarajah, head of Kingson Business College, said, said CNBC made it Despite the main numbers, there was some progress: 17 of 90 universities in the United Kingdom made the best 100 international institutions, and occupied an institution like Imperial College London, Oxford University, Cambridge University, and London College University at its positions in the first ten.

Edward Knight, President of the Investment Capital Company, added that the falling decline, in addition to that 6 % tax proposed Foreign students studying at UK universities can make the region a less attractive study destination.

“What I hear at the same time … is that it is increasingly, in places like China and India, the narration turns into” hey, children do not go abroad to study anymore. You can stay at home. ”Knight said that combining it in addition to taxes to make it more expensive, for foreign students, it is clear that it is not useful.”

Knight added: “If you are setting taxes on the people coming at the same time as there is an increased frequency in going and studying abroad anyway, it is clear that this is not a special health set of engines for the general health of the ecosystem.”

British universities, which are also behind the world rankings, are an invitation to wake up to the technology sector and startups in the region, which were constantly seen as being Delay Behind the United States and China.

“It is good and good to say that the UK is the main place of innovation in Europe, but I think you will get a more and more balanced perspective if the reference group is already wider than that,” Knight said.

He pointed out that artificial intelligence will be combined into the national curriculum in China from the primary school; The United States has a Stargate project, an initiative that invests $ 500 billion over the next four years to build an artificial intelligence infrastructure; Abu Dhabi launched MGX, an investment company for artificial intelligence technologies.

“I think what you may likely conclude is that everything is fine at the top of the pile in Europe, but Europe is behind the rest of the world in a large way,” Knight added.

Knight pointed out that the University of Cambridge produced some of the finest technology companies in the region, including DeepMind and Darktrace, but the United Kingdom lost those companies against the United States. Darktra was purchased by a private stock company in the United States, while DeepMind has been sold to Google.

“For some reason, these companies feel better in the United States, but also because double growth, the evaluation of the growth that the market puts in the United States in these companies is higher than it is in the UK,” Knight said.

He added: “The revolution may be a company worth $ 50 billion. Will it be publicly shown in the United States or will they stay here? Spotify from Stockholm, but it is listed on the Nasdak Stock Exchange. If you want to host these companies and companies, you need to be able to provide a new and more supportive environment.”
