401-500 Further down the rankings, fewer data are available to evaluate each university and the statistical appropriateness of discerning one university from the next begins to decay. Responses for institutions in our survey drop off exponentially from the top of the table, by the time it gets past 400 the results become highly sensitive to error. As a result, precise positions beyond 400, are not published. School Name Source: QS Quacquarelli Symonds (www.topuniversities.com) Copyright © 2004-2008 QS Quacquarelli Symonds Ltd.

Further down the rankings, fewer data are available to evaluate each university and the statistical appropriateness of discerning one university from the next begins to decay. Responses for institutions in our survey drop off exponentially from the top of the table, by the time it gets past 400 the results become highly sensitive to error. As a result, precise positions beyond 400, are not published. School Name Source: QS Quacquarelli Symonds (www.topuniversities.com) Copyright © 2004-2008 QS Quacquarelli Symonds Ltd.

Responses for institutions in our survey drop off exponentially from the top of the table, by the time it gets past 400 the results become highly sensitive to error.
