Bradford shines as Staffs tops league
Article Abstract:
The latest league table of the best university and college providers in the United Kingdom, published by the Teacher Training Agency, has revealed a number of surprises. Bradford College is shown to have jumped 53 places up the table, which the college puts down to partnerships with local schools and higher entry requirements, while Staffordshire University has taken the number one place on the table, knocking long-time leader Oxford University in second place. The University of Cambridge came third on the table, followed by the Central School of Speech and Drama. London Metropolitan University came 74th and last on the table, followed by the College of St Mark and St John in 73rd, the University of Greenwich in 72nd and the University of Portsmouth in 71st.
