Tue, 17 May 2011

The Guardian newspaper has published its University Guide 2012, revealing the best universities in the UK based on data for full-time undergraduates.

According to the newspaper, one of the things revealed by the league table is the small effect ranking has on the likelihood a university is to charge the maximum £9,000 in tuition fees .

Bottom university London Metropolitan intends to charge between £4,500 and £9,000 for its degrees, while Salford, Liverpool John Moores, Manchester Metropolitan and the University of East London - all of which rank in the bottom 20 - want to charge £9,000 for at least some of their courses.

Overall, with 120 institutions ranked, 38 of those in the top half intend to charge £9,000 for at least some of their courses, while 18 in the bottom half propose to do the same.

Sunderland, ranked 48th, is the first university that intends to charge less than £9,000 for all of its courses.

Elsewhere, Oxford slipped from top position for the first time in six years, being replaced by Cambridge .
