Warwick Econ

Hi
How good is Warwick undergrad econ in UK/world? Is it on the same level as LSE/Oxbridge? Its ranking in Times, CUG, Guardian is top 3 but in QS its worse than UCL by quite a bit, any thoughts?

In the UK it's top 5, usually:
Cambridge
LSE
Oxford
Warwick/UCL
Whether you put Warwick or UCL at 4 is essentially down to personal preference, although most people say UCL due to the location.
Warwick and UCL are very good, but aren't LSE/Oxbridge level.

Not just location but also because of history. I fail to understand how a uni that was established in the 1960s is considered more prestigious than older universities such as Durham, St Andrews, Edinburgh, Kings and Bristol.
I'm unbiased so I understand Warwick is regarded highly by employers and is top notch for maths though.

It's definitely not considered on the same level as LSE/Oxbridge.. but it's still very highly regarded.
I don't know what kind of domestic rankings you are looking at but Warwick has never been 3rd place in any domestic rankings... Times - 8th, CUG - 7th and Guardian 6th. It does worse in world rankings, 12th nationally in THE and 10th nationally in QS but that's just because it's a relatively small university.



It's considered more prestigious than Durham, St Andrews and King's? Even Edinburgh? For Maths/Economics/Accounting - yes, but its natural sciences, arts and humanities courses aren't that prestigious.
