London Met is better than Oxbridge
Discuss.
And no, I am not trolling because there are going to be things it's better at! So how can you objectively say "Oxbridge is better than London Met" when London Met will probably have a number of areas where it is "better" than Oxbridge?

No university is objectively better than another. End.
This. A PhD from a university with a lesser reputation, but better specific department than a rival, is more useful than a PhD from the "better" university with the worse off department.
Its all about resources and research impact. Not all research from Oxford goes on to have an impact on the recommendations made by the research, in fact its something polytechnics probably do quite well on. Simply different objectives.

That's not true either...
Its definitely better at being **** lol!
Oh yet another discussion (even if it is a troll) about which universities are best. Boring 
Oxbridge isn't some omnipotent leviathan when it comes to unis. I am looking to study English Lit and the course at either Oxford or Cambridge isn't that well respected compared to other unis like Warwick, Manchester and UEA (which isn't even Russell group)

lol, Oxford and Cambridge are more respected than all of those universities for English Literature.

I didn't think it would be long before Oxbridge's Propagandist-in-Chief ventured into this thread!

Firstly that listing is for both Lit and Lang, which is very different from Lit on its own. Secondly, #16 on that list is UCL. I'm not sure if you're aware but UCL doesn't actually provide courses in Literature, Language or a combination of the two, so that list seems like bull**** to me.
