All three have recorded the highest possible gradings for teaching and research. Students looking for an excellent undergraduate programme have a wide choice, with all but Edinburgh in the top 20 falling into that category and a further 11 departments receiving the highest grading for teaching. These include the new universities of Sheffield Hallam, Anglia, West of England, Kingston, Northumbria, Oxford Brookes and North London. |
