Universities churn out record numbers of top class LLB students

Grade Inflation I have just looked at the QED LAW research as a whole and it is very interesting. In addition to the inflation figures for 1987 to 2007, the website shows the inflation between 1997 and 2007 after all the “new universities” hit the scene. Although the ‘top ten’ in terms of highest inflation is predominantly composed of new universities, University College London – which I attended - is on the list. Where will it end? Fortunately unlike the kind of inflation facing Alistair Darling, there is a ceiling on the level to which degrees can be inflated. And when all LLB graduates get firsts there will be something else to worry about.
