Submit replyWhy waste your time on this nonsense? What degree? Completely wrong if its Engineering ... or any design degree

which is why I stated in general. This isnt a perfect ranking. UAL colleges arent included neither are the best music or drama schools as its impossible to compare. This was a generalised ranking taking into account most unis and the stats that I think are the most useful in telling us the "prestige" and "reputation" of the main UK Unis as opposed to useless indicators like student satisfaction and teaching standards however that can be measured. Obviously this isnt for engineering, otherwise I would have stated for engineering or design. This would be a completely different ten for a lot of subjects but this was my best attempt at making a fairly broad ranking overall of UK unis and creating a top 10 in terms of prestige and reputation.

It is a waste of time - no-one should choose a uni like this.

ALL league tables are flawed and can't be replicated.

well yes. Hence why I have tried to create my own using the most useful stats on offer in my opinion. Im not telling anybody to choose their uni based on this 10? Obviously if you wanted to concentrate on China, SOAS is an option, obviously it depends on ur subject, location, course etc etc. Im not trying to advise anybody? Im merely giving my own input into a long debated topic on here idk why ur so bothered.

I'm 'bothered' because you have wasted precious time drawing up a useless list when you could have been doing something worthwhile.

...useless indicators like student satisfaction and teaching standards...

You and I have a different definition of "useless".

Personally I feel that the top ten universities are:
1. London Met
2. London Met
3. London Met
4. London Met
5. London Met
6. London Met
7. London Met
8. London Met
9. London Met
10. London Met

These are very important things. They are useless because they are not measured in an effective and cohesive manner. Obviously, both are incredibly important when choosing a university, I do deny this at all. I just don’t trust the way they are measured hence my point.

University of Nottingham if you want a job...

I feel that you've identified a key issue with all league tables, including this one of your own. If characteristics which are "incredibly important when choosing a university" cannot be included in the ranking (because of the lack of accurate measurement) then what value does the league table have? It would be like trying to draw-up a table of the best football clubs in the country, but without access to games won or goals scored.

'Top' at what...?

Like I’ve said in a few replies, this is for very surface level aspects like “reputation” and “prestige” which are overrated and almost impossible to measure. This isn’t a ranking of the best places to study or which has the best teaching, just a rough guess at prestige and reputation in general not specific subjects just as universities as a whole. I know it’s flawed, I’m not choosing a university based off this nor should anybody. But I saw it mentioned a lot and wanted to give my own input that’s all
