League table success

UCL has been ranked fourth overall in the 2006 Guardian University Guide, eclipsing close neighbours Imperial College London, SOAS and King's College London.

The guide, published on 2 May 2006, assesses teaching quality, staff-student ratios and graduate job prospects to arrive at the rankings.

The guide also takes into account the average entry qualification, spending per student, the value-added improvement each university gives students and its record on attracting candidates from under-represented groups, a category UCL did well in, scoring more highly than first- and second-placed Oxford and Cambridge.
