Exeter slips into world’s top 200 universities

Another meaningless survey, this time conducted by the Academic Ranking of World Universities, has put Exeter in the top 200 universities globally, for the first time.

Dreaming of Number One

Ranking enthusiasts across the university can get together and celebrate in the only way they know how – discussing the six predominantly research-based indices used to calculate the measure.

The most titled man in the University, Vice Chancellor Professor Sir Steve Smith, said: “These international rankings offer an excellent illustration of the valuable contribution our world-leading academics are making to vital new research.”

Alex, a fourth year studying French and Economics, said: “Who gives a fuck?”

The veteran economist’s comments echo, one suspects, the majority of the world’s population, apart from the mothers of Exeter’s incoming pre-fresh.

This comes along with a host of other rankings that all show Exeter on the rise, to 6th in the UK, 8th in Europe and 40th in the World.

Pre-fresh mothers, rejoice!

Everyone else, as you were.
