We recently carried out some research to find out which unis are amongst those that are the hardest to get in to when applying for a position. The university league table for entries for 2017 show that Cambridge uni and Oxford uni are the two hardest uni’s to get in to in the UK, this will probably come as no surprise, but then following on from these two Imperial College in London, Durham and St Andrews also make it in to the top 5. Cambridge uni was given an overall score of 1000 out of 1000 when looking at factors such as student satisfaction, employment opportunities following the course and research quality.
Oxford closely followed with 998 – only 2 points behind with the other three following a little further back between 927 and 938 overall.
When deciding on what uni to go to, you should take all of this in consideration but also the particular course you want to study and the reviews and ratings that it has been given by students who have already completed the course.
