We are number one!

Informatics@Edinburgh tops the Guardian rankings for 2008.

We always take league tables with a pinch of salt. They necessarily choose a single perspective, from which to summarise a complex, multi-dimensional picture in a single ranking.

Nevertheless, we are delighted with this result!

Edinburgh's placement at the top of this list recognises the breadth and research excellence that informs our curriculum, the effort we devote to teaching, and the fact that our students build on the high standards they have already achieved when they first arrive here, to become outstanding graduates.

This is a welcome tribute to the quality of teaching and learning within Informatics@Edinburgh — to our staff and our students.
