THE: 200 best universities in Europe 2016

Oh don't firm King's.


Apparently it's a crappy Uni.


She's just being arrogant because she goes to Imperial. And it wasn't even based on merit.

What a shame.

1- you're the one being arrogant despite attending a mediocre uni, I'll let it slide though you're first year.

2- my extracurricular activities bolstered my application in addition to grades they didn't make up for them. You can have a high 2.1/first and still be active in societies you know? The two aren't mutually exclusive.

if kings was the best you could do that's great but it's not on par with other London unis.

How is King's mediocre?

Just because you're in Imperial based on societal activities doesn't mean you are some kind of Queen than can sh*t on everyone. Yes I accept that Imperial is a better University than Kings but that doesn't make it mediocre. I still believe i will achieve greater things in Life than you.


If you could get into Imperial for your postgraduate without even a 2:1, so can i.

What University did you do your undergraduate in and what course did you study?

I got 67% how is that not a 2.1? Are you trolling or genuinely so stupid that you can't appreciate sarcasm??

Oh wait of course you're stupid if u weren't you wouldn't argue with someone you're agreeing with.

I then went on to clraify that only factors you should look at in the national rankings are entry standards and research score. Everything else is bullsh*t.

Don't rely on the opinion of strangers on the internet to decide what to do with the next three years of your life.

Love how this thread has transcended into a phallus measuring contest. Standard TSR.

if willy waving was in the olympics we'd have 90% of the entrants and still wouldn't medal.

I've just done my research that's all, I think applications should start tomorrow or in a few days
Haha you can always get some salad sorted

And end up at York, uea, Newcastle or Sussex ahead of Manchester? Lol god no.

Manchester is only marginally better than those universities... particularly Newcastle. Some one from Manchester will have practically the same prospects as some one in Newcastle

That's like saying "because Maths and Cambridge and maths at queen marys will give you practically the same job prospects, Cambridge is only marginally better. "

Most unis in the give the same prospects when looking at a specific course. Who cares whether you did English at Bath or Nottingham for example.

Manchester uni as a whole is better than the Unis i listed but national rankings don't show it because they take the most ridiculous things into account. These are the same rankings that claim Lancaster and exeter are better than UCL. Exeter is probably the most unimpressive uni I've visited taking into account it's hype and ranking yet it's sitting at 10th on the complete uni guide.

Plus, Manchester being marginally better or not, it still shows how retarded the national rankings can be. International ones tend to be better imo. That being said, not all national ones are dodgy. The complete university guide is the worst though.

My advice to anyone be if you're going to use rankings instead of visiting unis then at least look at several rankings. Not just 1

M8 where's delft?

I agree that national rankings take certain factors (especially student satisfaction) way too seriously and itnleads to inacurracies (KCL AND MANCHESTER BEHIND KENT?!?!?). But when looking at rankings I tend to look at employability and career prospects rather than research power etc. And in that sense manchester and newcaste are similar, yet I guess the internationap rep of manchester is a fair amount higher. Both excellent uni's none the less, and both in the top 25 in most national and international rankings in regard to employability

I'm just curious, as someone who doesn't know much about this topic that has to decide between five university offers.

How would you rank, 1-5, these universities in term of their career prospects or international rep?

University of Leeds
University of Bristol
University of Birmingham
University of Sheffield
University of Liverpool

How come so many people say LSE is better than UCL/ICL for everything it does and UCL/ICL is the better at the rest, and yet LSE is below both of them on here? its not my trying to start an argument, its something that I heard and I'm genuinely wondering why before i make ucas decisions?

I don't hear many people saying LSE is better than Imperial, lol...they're viewed around the same.
