Cambridge squeaks ahead on the slightly higher A-level score of its undergraduates. Imperial and Southampton had the same high grading for teaching as the top two universities with 23 out of 24 and the highest A-level points score (30, equivalent to the straight As) came at Strathclyde. Grades of 22 for teaching went to Durham, Lancaster and Brunel. The highest-placed new university, Liverpool John Moores, only just misses the top ten, its grade five rating for research placing it on a par with Strathclyde, Imperial and Durham. Cambridge and Oxford recorded five-star ratings. |
