بس اخترت هالتخصصات للحين و اذا حد يبغي نظيف تخصص معين باللسته ممكن نظيفها

[Saif Al-Kuwari]

Thank you Khalid for your participation, I just want to clarify some points regarding your thread:

1- The Times ranking for the British universities is not an official ranking, it give a very good sight about the universities in general thought, but it never provides an accurate results.

2- The official ranking is the one that run by the Higher Education council and called RAE (Research Assessment Exercise). The last RAE was in 2001, and the next one will be in 2008. Due to the amount of work being held for these rankings, making them once every several years does make sense! You can check the RAE ranking for each department in each university from: www.rae.ac.uk

3- Nevertheless, looking at the Times ranking will be a very good idea BUT never be fooled by the universities general ranking! If someone intends to attend a particular university doing a particular course, they really should see where this university stands in the arena of his course. For example, If someone wants to study Computer Engineering, he or she should see where the Department of Electronic System Engineering (or whatever called by the university) stands, or to be more specific what RAE ranking it achieved.

4- The Times published a book that elaborates in the issue of choosing a good university in the UK, you can purchase the book from Amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0007165242/qid=1100087387/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl/202-9769290-3253419
and this is where Khalid (I think) got his information. I used this book in my last presentation in the ABP and it's a quite good one!

[Hassan Al-Ibrahim]

Thanks guys for this participation and I apologize for merging the threads ..

I merged them so you guys can discuss the issue and elaborate about it in one thread and so we do not spread ourselves thin ..

:) ill comment about the issue later on ..

[Khalid Al-Shirrawi]

Thanks for clarifying That Saif, but I thought that this point is clear by everyone
as the Times Ranking is a survey done by the Times newspaper to according to some general criterias like research assessment, entry standards, money spent on the facilities, etc.

and it is stated clearly in the reference site I gave: www.timesonline.co.uk
that the ranking is Time's own ranking

so it might be roughly general but it will give a general idea about the university academic reputaion in certain field of study
like the tables I have included for computer engineering, architecture, and midicine.
and it is kind of really good in special majors as they include the latest 5 stars assessment by RAE in their survey for special maijors (i.e. the first column if you guys have noticed ;) )

so there is no point of disagreement here actually or something to discuss Mr. Hassan Al-Ibrahim :D

[Saif Al-Kuwari]

Thank you for your reply, Khalid.
there was no disagreement at all, just wanted to pointed it out because sometimes the Times base their ranking on non-academic criteria, so it worth thinking about it twice before considering it. as you can see, the next RAE is due by 2008, and as a result there will be a need for some kind of reference around this issue until 2008, the last RAE was in 2001 and it's kind of old by now, but still the most efficient.

I confess that the Times accumulates a good effort in their ranking, and so they are in a level of efficiency, but I just wanted to encourage the students to look for alternative sources before making their last decision and not to depend solely on the Times ranking (I would highly recommend having a look at it, but not base a choice on it)

[Khalid Al-Shirrawi]

What you are saying is true but the title of the thread is a bit misleading and it shows that there is a disagreement, while the fact is there isnt one at all :p
