New league table from the Independent
(It appears that the authors of the Good University Guide (previously with the Times) have found a new home.)
Some quite large movers in (and out) of the top 20:
Significant risers include SOAS, up 15 places to 9th this year; Lancaster, up 9 places to 10th; Glasgow up 14 places to joint 16th; Leicester, up 8 places to 12th. Bristol drops 9 places to joint 16th; Aston drops 11 places to 23rd; Royal Holloway drops 9 places to 22nd.
