Which universities do you think will shoot up the rankings?

Why isnt Queen Mary high in league tables, I swear they did good in the RAE assessment aswell?

Imperial obviously. Pretty soon, they will be too good to be ranked with other universities and will stand alone atop a mountain of prestige.

Clearly.

I think DMU is set for quite a big rise - they've gone up 29 places in Business alone. :smile:

They've also done well in the RAE, particularly in English. The Times even ranks their English course as better than KCL, so not too shabby at all!

I also hear very good things about Loughborough and Oxford Brookes. :smile:

I spoke to someone from Oxford Brookes recently. He said that the people at the University of Oxford call it "The Early Learning Centre"

:p:

Well, I hope it does so that I don't have to keep explaining where it is to most of my friends and family!

This!
When someone asks me about where I'm going for uni, the conversation goes something like:
Them : Where are you going?
Me : Oh, you wouldn't have heard of it.
Them : No tell me!
Me : Keele
Them : I've never heard of that one! Where is it?
Me : Up north, on top of a hill in the middle of nowhere
Them : Oh...
:wink:

yes apparantly so. My brother just graduated from keele with a degree in maths and has gone straight into a £36000 job. Apparantly the majority the year got good placement, and its backed up by the graduate prospects on the times and the guardian. Its improved a lot lately, just gutted i didn't get my offer to go there. :frown:

Manchester's always had a good rep though

WOW.

I heard Brunel is on the rise. Especially after recently spending a lot of money, they are known to have quite good spending per head and that will pay off. looking at their league position halving in the nexxt few years i think. Still not excellent but very good in my opinion. Although I wouldn't apply there personally lol.

It is about time that Cambridge should be number 1, the other place has been falling on almost every world ranking but has maintained the number 1 ranking in the UK :P

kingston!

exeter made a really big leap recently, and they''re still investing and throwing money around, could see them cracking the top ten in the next 5 years

I hOpe no one is posting seriously here. Rankings are useless because where rankings matter ie law and ib, employers have their own rankingS

LSE might rise in a few subject tables as they have risen entry requirements for quite a few courses (for 2011 entry).
I've always thought 'average entry tariff' (or whatever they call it) was a stupid league table criterion though.

Chichester, due to its pro-active approach to gaining Student feedback, hence, it nearly always tops the list of student satisfaction.

I was informed of this by a member of staff from Royal Holloway, who worked as a researcher for Chi Uni, and had lectured for Kingston Uni as well!

Apparently, Chichester has an ethic of treating the students fairly?
