Somehow Nottingham is best rated for Agriculture in the UK
Apart from that, we’ve been pretty average this year
Our claim to fame this year in The Complete University Guide league tables is being the top university in the UK for Agriculture and Forestry, our third year running. Exciting, I know.
Queen's, Belfast was close behind us in second and our oldest rivals, Nottingham Trent, came close in third. We even beat the Royal Agriculture University who placed surprisingly low at 13th.
In the league table overall, we came down two places from last year putting us at 19th.
But it's not that bad as we beat some pretty good universities including King's College, Southampton and Queen Mary's to name a few. Surprise, surprise, Cambridge came in at the top of the league and Oxford followed close behind in second.
Notts scored particularly highly for the following subjects:
Aeronautical & Manufacturing Engineering – 9th
American Studies – 4th
Building – 6th
Chemical Engineering – 4th
Chemistry – 8th
Classics & Ancient History – 10th
Communication & Media Studies – 6th
Creative Writing – 8th
East & South Asian Studies – 7th
Economics – 9th
Food Science – 6th
Pharmacology & Pharmacy – 4th
Physics & Astronomy – 8th
Physiotherapy – 3rd
Social Work – 2nd
Veterinary Medicine – 6th
Count yourself lucky if you study any of those subjects, but the rest of us will have to stick to telling people that we must be a good uni because we're Russell Group.
