I'll second the need to rank Universities based upon a course. As a non UK resident I have only heard of a handful of the universities. I'm sure there are some lesser known Universities with great departments, try not to make me click on every university to find them...

After some further investigation I see you've implemented a decent attempt at solving this problem with the 'similar universities' table (However there is a built in assumption that i can find a university at my academic level. Also as an aside, check your algorithm, Oxford Computer Science is similar to Cambridge CS but not vice versa).

The analytical side of me would still strongly prefer all universities for the selected course ranked in a table, especially if I can reorder the table by metrics as rossj suggests.
