Movin’ On Up
UCL ranked fifth in the UK
Luke SprouleThe Times university guide may be regarded as a bit more prestigious, but when you’re ranked fifth in the country that doesn’t matter much. The Guardian today gave UCL that final top-five spot, coming in behind Cambridge, Oxford, the LSE and St Andrews. KCL were left languishing in 32nd. 
Perhaps the best news for UCL students is that we have the joint highest employment prospects of the top five, level with the LSE on 82%. London rent may make your eyes water but it does mean you’re much more likely to get a job.
Surprisingly 84% of Strand Poly graduates find employment within 6 months. Then again, working in McDonald’s isn’t quite what most UCL graduates aim for.
UCL also has the highest staff-student ratio in the UK, at 1 member of staff for every 10 students. No excuse then for all those essays that take months to be returned.
