University of York in top ten again
Posted on 11 September 2006
For the second year running, York is seventh in the newspaper's league table of more than 100 UK institutions, and its consistently high rankings for teaching demonstrate its continuing academic quality.
The Sunday Times says that competition for undergraduate places at York is fierce with eight applications for each. But it adds: "York prides itself on achieving a social balance in its intake absent from many other high-achieving universities. "
