Once again another example to prove that international rankings are pretty meaningless, because they rarely ever correspond to national rankings.

Stick to national rankings, if you dont want to be misled.

You're telling me.... maybe TSR should come up with some new ranking criteria.

I would trust more international rankings than national rankings that take things like "student satisfaction" into account.

I forgot to add the only factors you should look at on national rankings are entry standards & research score. All the other metrics are worthless because they're too easy to manipulate.

The entry requirements for institutions is not indicative of the quality of the course...Research score? Seriously? Research is completely irrelevant for undergrads and the majority of taught postgrads...

Took the words right outta my mouth!


Also yaaas Imperial ftw

Repping UCL my bby
