Despite the restrictive immigration policies being gradually adopted by the Trump administration, the US still stands tall among the leading global destinations for study overseas.

The US has 4 universities featured among the Top 5 on QS World University Rankings 2020 – Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) (at Rank 1), Stanford University (at Rank 2), Harvard University (at Rank 3), and California Institute of Technology (Caltech) (at Rank 5).

Rank 4 on QS World University Rankings 2020 is occupied by the UK’s University of Oxford.

The Top 3 in 2019 – MIT, Standford, and Harvard – have retained their individual rankings of 2019.

Oxford University, on the other hand, has moved up 1 place from Rank 5 in 2019 to Rank 4 in 2020. Oxford University displaces Caltech from its Rank 4 in 2019 to Rank 5 in 2020.
