Well, what can I say~~!
the more rankings appear, the higher UCL becomes..and who knows it might in the next ranking jump to 1st place :) just kiddin!

Durham became 3rd, that what is strange about it O_o ahead of LSE?!

anyway, couple of weeks more and all these rankings will become useless..most seats for 05-06 academic year taken, decisions made, applications sent... ^^

anyway, thanks for info!

Just some thoughts on rankings...

Isn't it interesting that most of us (myself included) have a certain ranking in our minds and think it strange if an actual ranking is different from what we expected? What do we need rankings for then, I wonder? Why shouldn't Durham be better than LSE? How can any of us really tell? I bet most of us haven't attended both universities...
Nevertheless, I wouldn't put too much emphasis on which school is ahead of which within the top ten or so anyway, especially since rankings - it cannot be repeated often enough - are only for undergraduate studies, not for LLM programmes. This becomes perfectly clear when you look at the University of London. Does anybody think a Queen Mary LLM with two courses from UCL is worth less than a UCL LLM with two courses from Queen Mary? Surely not, yet if we took undergraduate rankings seriously for our LLM choices, this would be the conclusion.

That is a very interesting remark Anabell. Could you share the secret knowledge you appear to have with us?

Yes, it is.

Go to the web-page of The Times www.timesonline.co.uk and then to the Student menu point. There you find the new university league table. They put it up last Friday.

Cheers,

Gregory
