It should be noted that universities with long history, as a rule, have huge advantage in comparison with new universities. It is connected with creation of a known brand, and also prestigiousness of training at ancient university.
Objective of this research - to carry out the comparative analysis of modern British universities and Oxbridge.
For achievement of a goal it is necessary to solve the following problems:
- to open evolution of management by universities;
- to analyze a rating of leading universities of Britain for 2013-2014;
- to analyze characteristics of universities of the first ten.
Relevance of research is caused by that the set of universities which are ready to provide training services opens now. It should be noted also that many of them successfully come to the international level and can accept foreign students educating them the international level.

Conclusion
The development of university governance types in Britain over the last nine hundred years hasnot been a linear process. New types of governance structures co-exist with earlier species. One cannot help but compare the youngest governance structure,dominated by external interests overseeing the operations of the university, and the earliest,dominated by internal, academic interests. Some authors have signaled that the late twentiethcentury marked a breakdown in the academic-led collegial governance tradition of Paris, Oxfordand Cambridge. Recent governance debates at Oxford and Cambridge have considered the inclusion of more laymembers at the highest levels of their institutional governance. This begs the question: does this signal the beginning of the end of a university governance type? Will the academically-led governance structure becomeextinct after nine hundred years? The answer to this question has yet to be answered.Furthermore, the answer may be more complex than a simple affirmative or negative. Asconservative as they are, Oxford and Cambridge, like all universities, have evolved over time.The roles and responsibilities their governing bodies now have are different than those of thetwelfth, sixteenth or nineteen centuries. Although different species of university governance maycontinue to coexist, they must also continue to evolve. Their success, and survival, depends upon it.
Thus, the analysis of universities of Great Britain showed that the most top places of a rating are held by the oldest universities of the country. It is caused by that these universities have a pancake house history, the traditions and ability to give quality education during any period of time. Also It should be noted that undoubted advantage of old universities of Great Britain is their name which is enough to get a good job. Oxbridge is a part of this elite category of universities and offers a huge number of different specialties for students of the whole world that does it to the most competitive in the market of educational services as Great Britain, and the world.
