Economics ranked 1st in the Good University Guide 2024
Tuesday 19 Sep 2023The Department of Economics is proud to announce that for the second year running we have been ranked top of the specialist subject table for Economics in the Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2024.
The Good University Guide, published annually in September by the Times and Sunday Times, provides British university rankings based on five categories: teaching quality, student experience, research quality, entry points and graduate prospects.
We have achieved a high overall score (with 93.9% for graduate prospects) which puts us ahead of the LSE, Cambridge, Oxford and St Andrews.
We have been ranked in the top 5 amongst UK's departments of Economics over the last few years, and reaching the top position four times previously: in the Good University Guides 2023, 2020 and 2015.
Our recent achievements also include high positions in other important league tables: 22nd place in the world in the QS World University Rankings 2023 for Economics and Econometrics as well as 4th place in the Complete University Guide 2024 published in June 2023.
Professor Ben Lockwood, Head of Department of Economics, said:
"I am delighted to hear we have retained the top position in this popular league table. This external recognition highlights the Department’s success in producing world class academic research and giving students excellent learning experience. It also reflects the hard work and commitment of our staff and students in all areas of our work."
