Guardian league tables too

Thank you, I am just struggling on what course to choose. There are so many Business ones..

Hahahah I feel like the whole UCAS thing has totally crept up on me, although teachers have been mentioning it for months now I actually need to find 5 places I wanna spend 3/4 years at 😂😂

Same here, are you going into year 13??

These are terrible, cant suggest enough to not waste your time with these, a complete misrepresentation.

Unistats and which uni are pretty good run down. The individual course web pages are the best tho.

Also go to open days and ask Uni course directors about other Unis, might seem pretty obnoxious but they wont know who you are so it wont matter.

The graduate high flyers guide is the best resource for employability, REF power ranking is the best for research.

It just depends what you want to know.

Yeah wbu? Im looking to study LLB law in London hopefully

Yeah same. I am looking to study something Business related but do not know yet, and you have any Uni's in mind?

Why are they a misrepresentation? Kinda worrying you’ve said that as I’ve been basing some uni choices off of them 😬

Not saying they aren’t, those are the ones I’ve been looking at as I’ve found them the easiest to navigate.

Ahh cool, I’ve been looking at UCL and LSE mostly, I know they’re really competitive so I think a lot is riding on the AS results 😬 I think LSE do good business and economics type courses if I’m not mistaken? Not sure tho

Are you nervous for going to London? People either love it or hate it and most of my friends hate big places, I don’t think I’ll know many people there at this rate 😂

Yeah, LSE is one of the top Uni's in the UK and I'm from a town called Huddersfield near Leeds supposed it would be a bit nerve-racking but you'd get used to it

Very poorly compiled, they are just designed to make money via internet ads.

For example, one metric is employability: they base this off % of students working within 6 months of graduating, but this doesnt account for type of job, salary, prospects after 5 years... hence someone who gets a job at Macdonalds or Goldman Sachs upon graduation are weighted the same. The research metric does not correlate at all to REF (the government research measurement).
The student:staff ratio can easily be manipulated depending on what you count as a staff member. The NSS (national student survey) scores are used, but different students have different expectations and ex-Poly unis use this to bump them in the rankings...

Yes their easy to navigate but as i said they are nothing more than a list of Unis essentially

the international rankings are much better just filter to UK unis:
