UK University Rankings - A Comparison

Which is the best place UK university is it? How are universities performing? There is no official government ranking of universities in the United Kingdom. However, there are some newspapers rankings are published each year by the Times newspaper, The Telegraph, the BBC Student Guide, The Independent University Guide and The Guardian.

Oxford is the No. 1 University of The Independent and Guardian Rank surpassed Cambridge in 2008. Oxford tops the Guardian rankings, followed byCambridge, London School of Economics, Warwick, St Andrews, Imperial, University College London, the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) and Edinburgh.

There are several university guides in the UK which rank all universities in order of merit, but based on different criteria. Guardian focuses on the quality of teaching and what students themselves think. The Independent Good University Guide (now The Complete University Guide) uses nine measures of quality - student Satisfaction, research assessment entry standards, student / staff ratio, consume library / computer science, consume facilities, degree classifications, graduate prospects and the number of accounts. All universities are assessed in these nine quality factors. It is a highly regarded University Guide, students often make a reference to the ranking tables when choosing a university. There are 59 at tables that rank universities in different subjects.

However, a university, the highly rankedin the "Times" can appear in a poor position in other university towns, leaders such as the Sunday Times or the Guardian. In 2008, there are some big differences in ranking positions between the two famous university leaders (Guardian and The Independent), as follows:

(1) University of Dundee is ranked 17 in the Guardian (A Top 20 University), but it is ranked 52 in The Independent, not even in the Top 50!

(2) University of Bristol is ranked 31 in the Guardian (outside the Top30), but it ishigh rank in The Independent, at 16

(3) Anglia Ruskin University is ranked 109 in The Independent, but it is in a higher position 71, in the Guardian newspaper rankings.

(4) Thames Valley University is ranked 85 in the "Guardian", and 110 in The Independent.
