UK departments, how would you rate them?

For PhD it’s LSE>=Oxford>rest. Disregard the UCL trolls.
Seems about right, but it is true that UCL is making efforts. The problem is that they do not give stipends for the MRes, so many good applicants just choose another program. LBS very good but small sample so partly random.

Warwick is a terrible place to do a PhD or be an early career researcher.
Insider here:
undergrad: oxbridge still dominates, sure there are the oddballs that choose LSE and UCL, but the best students still choose oxbridge
PHD:
1. LSE
2. UCL
3. Oxford/Warwick
4. Cambridge
...restNo one in their right mind would do a PhD at Warwick over Cambridge. There is just a lot more money and facilities in Cambridge and no one wants to live in Coventry.

U East Anglia: to toilet
Not because of any of their faculty, but administration is destroying it from within. Mass exodus to follow.VC resigned, giant financial hole, faculty will be fired if they don't get out. Possibly insolvent soon. I see massive teaching loads on the horizon for the remaining faculty.

Can confirm. They were on the job market this year, trying to hire for 1UKAP = 37k pounderinos.

Department strength:
similar to PHD though Cambridge and UCL is on the riseI seriously consider your insider status. Oxford's PPE is not at the level of LSE's Econ or Math Econ. Dominate in terms of preparation for rigorous advanced econ? NO. Dominate in terms of layman prestige like yours, then it id more likely
You are just an ordinary layman peasant from the UK.Oxford still enrolls much stronger ugrads. In the UK, for better or worse, the gap between Oxbridge and the next tier, likely Imperial, UCL, LSE, is large. Oxbridge has a much larger endowment, tutorials, world class libraries, and a stronger peer group in all subjects even if LSE has stronger faculty. Also, less grade inflation so a First from Oxbridge is still worth something unlike other UK unis.
