Interesting, since the National Student Survey results sure make it look a lot worse. For example, the Music programme was found to have Satisfactory quality by only 52% of respondents and the Creative Music Technology programme by 57%. That's a pretty poor record.

There are a total of 19 ranked universities in London. It would be mathematically impossible for Kingston to NOT make it into the top 20.

Mathematically impossible is also the chance that you have of getting a job if you went to Kingston University.

The cheating element is very telling. Such values appear to be widely inculcated at the University:

Dr Howard Fredrics - is that the same Dr Howard Fredrics who was sacked from the University ???? Obviously a completely unbiased viewpoint - and if you want to make statements about famous alumni look at the more positive ones such as Lawrence Dallaglio.

@bystander tolworth -- Um, not my viewpoint -- only published facts. And I didn't post re: famous alumni, whom nonetheless are, indeed to be included among the list.

Lawrence Dallaglio a rugby union player. Rugby a sport known for requiring an high academic ability to play. Why should the alumni list only focus on the positive ones.
