University League Tables

Are they really that important?

Well, if you are applying for a scholarship then yes, it matters.

For those applying for a MoE Scholarship - Undergraduate Degree , then the university you select needs to be in the top 50 ranking of the Times 2010 Good University Guide.

However, if you are applying for a scholarship for HND, universities in the top 100 will suffice.

For those eyeing the Sultan's Scholar award and the MinDef Supreme Commander Scholarship then getting a place in a very prestigious and top ranking university is VERY important.

Check out this website for the world ranking of universities all over the globe.
