I got this from Birmingham today, encouraging me to enroll in their PhD program:
In October 2007 the Guardian published a national league table that ranked the research strength of UK universities and the University of Birmingham came 7th in the UK.
In November 2007 the Times Higher Education Supplement world rankings were published, which placed the University of Birmingham 65th among 200 universities worldwide.
Looks tempting. And they just hired me to tutor MA students in their Applied Linguistics/ TESOL course.
