In recent years, with the gradual deepening of the Understanding of British Institutions in China, many students have realized that choosing a school solely by virtue of the institution ranking is quite one-sided and limited.
Therefore, in addition to referring to the major rankings, the evaluation of local students in the UK is also a very important reference point. Just like when we go on a tour, punch in the food and attractions, I believe that the opinions of the locals will not refuse it.
So, which universities in the UK are most recognised by local students?
They don't actually have a strict top20 ranking, because many schools are professional schools. Many universities that are usually at the bottom of the world rankings, the job prospects of their graduates in the UK are actually very impressive.
Presumably its summative words can be said:
The heads are: Oxford University, Cambridge University
The second heads are: University of St Andrews and Durham University
These old schools were given priority by some British aristocrats and the bourgeoisie.
Then the first echelon was a few members of the G5: Imperial Ic, LSE, University College London UCL.
Although there is no G5 in the UK, the position of these institutions is unshakable.
The first echelons are: Bristol, Edinburgh, King's College, Warwick, Bath, Manchester.
Of course, there are also some professional schools such as LBS, RCA and the like that they will consider, but the comprehensive comparison is low, and they do not even participate in the ranking.
Then there are other schools, others such as Birmingham, Glasgow, Sheffield, Leeds, etc., similar to the domestic 211 schools.
Uk universities are ranked internationally and locally, with the three most valuable rankings being the Times Good University Guide (TIMES), The Complete University Guide (CUG) and The Guardian University Rankings. Regardless of the ranking method, the best schools always make the list.
