Top place for Warwick Economics in The Good University Guide 2025

The Department of Economics is delighted to announce that for the third year running we have been ranked top of the specialist subject table for Economics in the Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2025.

Published annually in September by the Times and Sunday Times, The Good University Guide provides British university rankings based on five categories: teaching quality, student experience, research quality, entry standards and graduate prospects.

We have achieved an overall score of 100 (with 93.3% 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 2024, 2023, 2020 and 2015.

Our recent achievements also include high positions in other important league tables: 23rd place in the world in the QS World University Rankings 2024 for Economics and Econometrics as well as 5th place in the Complete University Guide 2025 published in June 2024.

Professor Ben Lockwood, Head of Department of Economics, said:

“This external recognition highlights our success in producing world class research and providing students with outstanding learning opportunities that support their graduate prospects. It also reflects the hard work and commitment of our staff and students in all areas of our work.”
