OXFORD University has been ranked the world's best institution for medical and health teaching and research for the seventh year in a row in the Times Higher Education World University Rankings.
The discipline-specific tables for clinical, pre-clinical and health studies, released on Wednesday, follow on from the announcement that Oxford has been ranked the top university in the world by the same publication for the second year running.
The ranking is based on criteria measuring teaching, research, industry income, international outlook and citations, which are combined to provide a comparison of universities worldwide.
Professor Gavin Screaton Head of the Medical Sciences Division, said: "Oxford is a special place because of the close relationship between research, teaching and clinical treatments.
"Medical Sciences at Oxford is world leading, and we will continue to focus on its future development for the benefit of our students and staff, as well as the patients who will continue to benefit from the excellent research which is constantly transforming lives."
There are around 5,000 full-time equivalent researchers, teachers and staff across the Medical Sciences Division at Oxford, as well as 3,000 students.
