Due to the least reliable criteria - some terrible universities get high student satisfaction, take Bangor University for example.
Good to see UCL and KCL outside the top 10

It would break the rules of the Complete University Guide site for someone to download and share a copy of their ranking

They've charged universities for doing this in the past: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A2=ADMIN-PLANNING;998707e8.1604

thoughts on Loughborough taking over Warwick??
Warwick/UCL and even Bristol/KCL/Edinburgh etc are far ahead of loughborough, Uni rankings dont mean anything tbh.

LOL <- that's all I can say.

Look at the numbers. The only reason they got bumped was because of their spending per student. I don't see how throwing dollars around for new buildings is helpful in a ranking. The anomaly I guess is the grad prospects (averaged out postgrad + employment) mark for LSE and Warwick; I'm not convinced it's accurate.

These rankings are pretty pointless in the grand scheme of things, I only look at specific subject rankings and even then only the grad prospects, research quality and average UCAS points achieved metrics matter.

I'd much rather rely on actual destination information, surveys based on top grad employers and the new Linkedin rankings.

Warwick's 'Academic Services Spend' is greater than Loughborough's though haha.

Why are you not convinced its accurate? Loughborough is pretty highly regarded by employers according to this :smile:

Nevertheless, still pretty impressive how it's one of the few universities to be in the top 10 of all three national league tables

Loughborough although a decent university, its definately not a top 10 university, Oxbridge/UCL/Warwick/LSE/Imperial/Durham/St Andrews are the top 8 (In no particular order) and then the likes of Bristol/KCL/Edinburgh are all contenders for the remaining 2 spots.

Elite finance firms target Warwick/UCL a lot more than Loughborough.

Because historically, Warwick and LSE have had solid numbers for grad prospects looking at individual courses. I'm uncertain as to how exactly they average out these grad prospects across all degrees, but certainly for most courses of study they both do well - usually leaps and bounds better than Loughborough.

Oh no, I don't doubt that Loughborough is a great uni. It certainly is, but I just don't think its other metrics are high enough to warrant such a high position on the league table.

Loughborough ahead of Warwick and UCL lol what a joke. IMO both UCL and Warwick are top 6 Universities and Loughborough is a top 20 at best (which is still great obviously).

Also Bristol 24th lol seriously?
ahahaha Loughborough 7th???? Just shows that league tables can be a load of ******** sometimes
