Studies into the forced migration of refugees has won Oxford University the Queen's Anniversary Prize for Higher and Further Education for a fourth time.
The award was given to the Refugee Studies Centre, part of the university's International Development Centre, for research and training programmes and its work with students and practitioners around the world.
The Queen will present prizewinners with a gold medal at an awards ceremony in Buckingham Palace in February.
University Vice-Chancellor Sir Colin Lucas said: "The work of the centre demonstrates that research and teaching of the highest academic standard can also be vitally important in providing solutions to real problems that affect millions.
"It also shows the significance and influence that a network of trained practitioners can have in shaping international debate and policy making to represent the interests of those who might otherwise not be heard."
