Here are the top 15 departments in the UK based on the "overall" score by all philosophers. After the school name, in parentheses, is the mean score, and then the rank in 2004:
1. Oxford University (4.7; 1)
2. Cambridge University (3.7; 2)
3. University of St. Andrews (3.6, 3)
4. Birkbeck College, University of London (3.3, 6)
4. University College London (3.3, 4)
6. King's College, London (3.1, 5)
6. University of Sheffield (3.1, 7)
8. London School of Economics (2.8, 7)
9. University of Bristol (2.6, 14)
9. University of Edinburgh (2.6, 11)
9. University of Leeds (2.6, 11)
9. University of Nottingham (2.6, 13)
9. University of Reading (2.6, 9)
14. University of Warwick (2.3, 10)
15. University of York (2.2, not in top 15)
One pleasing aspect of these results is that the changes all reflect actual events: e.g., Susan Hurley's move from Warwick to Bristol; Birkbeck's hiring of Fraser MacBride and Ian Rumfitt; etc.
ADDENDUM: I should note that the University of St. Andrews/University of Stirling Joint Program faculty received a mean score of 3.8.
