Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 25 Oct, 16:31 · Archive
The University of Oxford has been ranked tenth in the UK for supporting AI-driven business growth and commercial innovation, according to a report by money.co.uk. The ranking evaluated 146 UK universities based on AI education, graduate employment, and university spinout activity. Oxford stood out for its broad offering of AI and related courses, strong graduate employment rate in STEM fields, and success in launching spinout companies.
Oxford currently has 123 active spinouts in engineering, physical sciences, and mathematics, second only to Cambridge with 174. Imperial College London topped the overall ranking as the most AI-ready university in the country, followed by the University of Leeds, University of Bristol, University of Birmingham, and University of Liverpool.
Joe Phelan, business finance expert at money.co.uk, stated that the findings come as AI becomes increasingly accessible to smaller businesses, potentially lowering the cost and expertise required to launch and grow a company. He noted that while AI is often associated with technology companies, it can also help businesses across sectors automate tasks, understand customers, develop products, and compete with larger organisations.
