UK's Guardian Publishes its 2011 League Table for Britain's 118 Universities. (June 8, 2010)

The Guardian today published its ranking "according to teaching excellence" for all of the UK's universities.

It defines its criteria:

The tables, published in full on our website today, rank universities according to the following measures: how satisfied their final-year students are; how much they spend per student; the student/staff ratio; the career prospects of their graduates; a value-added score and what grades pupils have to achieve to stand a chance of being offered a place.

It is noteworthy that the universities racking 1 and 2, Oxford and Cambridge respectively "according to teaching excellence" are currently ranked 10 and 4 respectively in the world's research university league table ( 2 and 1 in Europe) published by the Institute of Higher Education of Shanghai Jiao Tong University (the other eight of the top ten are in the United States).
