According to the Times Higher Education World University Rankings, published on Wednesday, there are more European institutions in the world top 200 than ever. The Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich has become the first university outside the US or UK to enter the top 10 for a decade.

15 Germany top for foreign students By Sean Coughlan BBC News education correspondent 9 March 2011 Is Germany better at teaching university courses in English than universities in English-speaking countries? Germany has been named as the most supportive country for overseas students, in an international league table. Among the attractions for international students is the increasing availability in Germany of courses taught entirely in English, so much so that students can complete degrees without ever having to speak German. In the international zones of these classes, students from Germany, the United States and China participate in seminars conducted by German professors speaking in English.
