Rankings of Universities in The United Kingdom

Four national rankings of universities in the United Kingdom are currently published annually - The Complete University Guide, and rankings by each of The Guardian, The Sunday Times and The Times newspapers. Rankings have also been produced in the past by The Daily Telegraph and the Financial Times.

The primary aim of the rankings is to inform potential undergraduate applicants about UK universities based on a range of criteria, including entry standards, student satisfaction, staff/student ratio, academic services and facilities expenditure per student, research quality, proportion of Firsts and 2:1s, completion rates and student destinations. All of the league tables also rank universities on their strength in individual subjects.
