More infernal university rankings, this time from the Guardian. http://education.guardian.co.uk/universityguide2005/ or straight to http://education.guardian.co.uk/universityguide2005/table/0,,-5163898,00.html?start=0&index=2&index=2 Congrats to Trinity College Carmarthen for entering the ten best places to study Geography in UK, trouncing many more esteemed institutions. You can find out for yourselves who is ranked at the top and bottom - no great surprises. Threatened programmes - among them Brunel - score highly. Again conforming the silliness and self-indulgence of the spirit of competition induced by the RAE and associated measures. We should all delete "scored a 5* in the 2001 RAE" etc. from websites. And the RAE it is coming to Australia.....
