Warwick Law 38th in QS World University Rankings
First compiled in 2004, QS World University Rankings were conceived to present a multi-faceted view of the relative strengths of the world's leading universities.
The research currently considers over 2,000 universities, and ranks over 700. The top 400 are ranked individually, whereas those placed 401 and over are ranked in groups.

Stephanie Esuola first woman to win TARGETjobs Undergraduate of the Year Award
Stephanie Esuola wins TARGETjobs Undergraduate of the Year Award. The award was sponsored by Mayer Brown and, through a series of online tests, application forms, interviews and assessment exercises, she emerged as winner. Stephanie is the first woman to win this award and she gets a fully paid place on Mayer Brown’s Summer Work Experience Programme and an iPad.
Mayer Brown only targeted a relatively small number of universities and so she beat off competition from other excellent students from other excellent universities. This award was one of twelve presented on the day and each award was sponsored by a top graduate recruiter: Barclays, Mars, Ernst & Young, Laing O’Rourke, E.ON, EDF Energy, Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Rolls-Royce, Gazprom, Nestle and Mayer Brown.
Stephanie collecting the award from Sir Trevor McDonald (who hosted the awards) and Annette Sheridan, COO at Mayer Brown.
