Those of you looking for graduate jobs in London will be interested to hear that, as well as taking overall fifth place in the annual Guardian university league table, the London School of Economics also topped the rankings for graduate job prospects.

Pro-director of Teaching and Learning at LSE, Janet Hartley, said that, 'League tables do not provide a complete picture of our strengths but it is pleasing that we are consistently ranked as one of the country's top universities. Our graduates are in great demand so it is gratifying to see this acknowledged.'

The table, released last week, put Oxford University in overall first place for 2010. Oxford beat Cambridge into second place for the second year running scoring the maximum hundred points out of a hundred.

The top ten is, as usual, dominated by the oldest institutes in Britain – St Andrews coming in third, Edinburgh in seventh and Imperial College in at number eight spot.

Some of the newer universities have also done well this year with Warwick cementing position number four again, Bath taking ninth and Loughborough in tenth.

The guide ranks one hundred and seventeen universities from all over Britain and looks at factors like graduate career prospects, quality of teaching, spend per student and overall student satisfaction.
