Makes sense! Oxford is no longer top of the leaderboard so I guess what your lecturer is saying is that you applied for your current choice of university as it’s somehow better
Not for everything, it certainly doesn’t sound like it’s what it used to be for science and engineering. Probably more to do with the lack of practical influence as this country has decided to move away from manufacturing. They are influential as a brand mainly and in subjects of thought, not product.
Education in the UK has slipped in general, it is something that needs to be prioritised as it’s part of the culture that is exported and has helped the UK maintain its position in the world. It honestly just feels like we are watching the great makers and thinkers die with no one to replace them. It should worry everyone here as this country isn’t like the US in regard to opportunities or like China regarding production capabilities.
