简介:This table was the only one in the last edition of the Guide to have joint leaders. But neither London’s Courtauld Institute nor Cambridge is top this year. Oxford has leapfrogged both to take a clear lead, even though employment is the only measure on which it has the highest score. Cambridge has the highest entry standards and the most satisfied students, but only saw 71 per cent of graduates in the history of art go straight into graduate jobs or onto postgraduate courses, compared with 91 per cent at Oxford. Cambridge is also let down by an unusually low research score. Glasgow did best in the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise, which classified 85 per cent of its work as world-leading or internationally excellent. Oxford is the only university to record “positive destinations” for more than three quarters of its graduates. The subjects are in the bottom half of the employment table, but ten places higher than last year. The 7 per cent unemployment rate is better than the average for all subjects, but more than a third of graduates go into lower-level jobs. The specialised nature of the jobs market has always made for uncertain prospects immediately after graduation, and history of art is in the bottom 20 for starting salaries. There were good scores for most universities in the 2011 National Student Survey, however. Although only Cambridge satisfied more than nine out of ten final-year undergraduates, all 27 institutions in the ranking had satisfaction scores of 70 per cent and above. The majority of students are female. Entry standards are high, with 14 universities, compared with ten last year, averaging over 400 points and none less than 275. Only six post-1992 universities are left in the ranking, with Brighton and Sheffield Hallam the highest-placed, just outside the top 20. Glasgow has pulled clear of St Andrews as the top university in Scotland, but Wales has lost its former representative, Aberystwyth.以下是2013年times英国大学排名建筑与艺术专业排名。
