2013Times英国大学排名：俄语

简介：Fewer than 100 students began degrees in Russian and/or Eastern European studies in 2011, following a 20 per cent drop in applications. Higher fees in 2012 brought an even more serious decline in the demand for places, and the small numbers make for exaggerated swings in statistics. Average starting salaries in graduate-level jobs have shot up by £4,600 in the latest table, for example, propelling the subjects almost into the top ten. The already healthy picture for general employment prospects has been maintained, with almost three quarters of graduates going on to further study or into jobs classified as “graduate level”. Cambridge has taken over from Oxford at the head of the ranking for Russian and Eastern European languages, establishing a clear lead for the first time in four years. Cambridge has the highest entry standards, the most satisfied students and the best employment score. The two ancient universities are well clear of Durham, in third place, and Bristol, in fourth, both of which have improved their positions in the latest Guide. Oxford and Manchester tied for the best performance in the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise. Portsmouth is the sole representative of the post-1992 universities and there are no institutions from Wales or Northern Ireland. St Andrews remains the leader in Scotland, despite slipping six places since last year. Russian has been growing in popularity in schools, although most undergraduates learn the language from scratch. Nationally, there were little more than five applications for each place in 2011. But entry standards are high throughout the table: no university averages less than 300 points on the UCAS tariff. Satisfaction levels are also high. Nearly every university in the table satisfied at least three quarters of its final-year undergraduates.以下是2013年Times俄语排名。
