PPE/Economics/Politics / Target Unis

Is Nottingham a good Uni for a Philosophy,Politics and Economics degree.
And why are they ranked lower than unis like Lancaster but all the comments I see is that they are better ? Is this because of their economics reputation.

Yes, it's a good uni for PPE. Rankings aren't the be-all and end-all. Rankings place emphasis on subjective factors like student satisfaction and various other data points which have little to do with reputation/teaching quality. In terms of employability and reputation, Nottingham is generally well-respected. No employer needs to look at rankings to determine this

May I ask what subjects he is taking ?

My daughter studied straight Politics at Notts, and after a journalism masters, went to the BBC before joining a media agency and now is a partner in PE firm.Peers went into more traditional work in Westminster . My son is doing A levels this year and hoping to read PPE. His choice of university was largely dictated by the fact he didn’t do A level Maths- to many it is a prerequisite and to others who don’t specify it, it is quietly preferred.His choices kept an eye on links with FS industry and were Warwick, Exeter, Belfast and York ( the latter because of a lower grade requirement), and St Andrews for IR & Econ. He was offered 4/5 and settled on Warwick with Exeter insurance.
