an interesting website
http://www.push.co.uk/top-tens/
that's the top tens page, showing best universities for beer, sex ratios, and anything else you might be interested to find out.
the other thing is this:
Top 10 universities for teaching:
1. Royal Academy of Music
2. Leicester University
3. Loughborough University
4. Harper Adams University College
5. University of Oxford
6. University of Cambridge
7. Heythrop College, University of London
8. University of York
9. St George's, University of London
10. University of Warwick
The most obviously handy figure is the assessment of the department's teaching standards. Sometimes it's expressed as a score out of 24, where 24 is most excellent and one is… well, the other end of the scale.
Official inspectors visit each university department every few years to come up with these figures, which are produced by the QAA (Quality Assessment Agency) and published on their website ( www.qaa.ac.uk) as well as in various other publications. If the rub-down from the inspectors was good, universities are increasingly willing to mention it in their own prospectuses and websites. If you can't find the report from an independent source, any department with nothing to hide should be willing to tell you how they were rated.
it seems that the University of Leicester has the best teaching standards, surely this cannot be right; or can it?
