The Times has published their annual ranking of universities - the table for economics can be found here

The top twenty in the Times rankings are:

1 Oxford
2 Cambridge
3 London School of Economics
4 University College London
5 Warwick
6 Exeter
7 Durham
8 St Andrews
9 Nottingham
10 Birmingham
11 Bristol
12 Bath
13 East Anglia
14 Glasgow
15 Aston
16 Kent
=16 Surrey
=16 Essex
19 Southampton
20 Leicester
=20 Edinburgh

In my opinion there is a growing and significant gap between the top five institutions listed and the remaining faculties. But as always these ‘league tables’ should be taken with a pinch of salt dependent as they are on the specific criteria used and the weightings attached to each.

Our latest student resources for University Entrance can be found here: We will be updating them over the coming weeks now that the AS Economics exams are out of the way.
