How should I rank these universities?

They're all pretty rank.

Oh, I like you http://static.thestudentroom.co.uk/images/smilies/present.gif

For politics Oxbridge > everyone else, however, neither university offers IR at undergraduate level.

Rep wise, IR - in my opinion anyway - goes something like this:

1) LSE
2) St Andrews
3) Aberystwyth/Sheffield/Durham/Warwick

I always thought that Sheffield was quite poor for IR but strong for British pol?
