Create your own ranking

There are two ways to customise rankings. Firstly, you can click the column headings on the table above to sort by a single criterion. Secondly, you can choose your own weightings for the criteria below (default values are those used for The Good University Guide rankings), make your preferred choice and click 'Customise' to generate the new table.

Student Satisfaction	Research Asses.	Stud.-Staff Ratio	Academic Services Spend	Fac. Spend	Completion	Good Honours	Graduate Prospects	Entry Standards

For example, you might want to create your own league table based on three criteria only - say completion, graduate prospects and entry standards. Just click on these and weight them from 0.5 to 2.5 depending on how significant each one is to you. Finally, give all the other criteria a weighting of 0 (but they don't disappear!) and click on "Customise" for your very own ranking of the universities. To return to our default ranking , click on "TGUG" column

Notes

The following institutions provided their own data: Cambridge (student satisfaction), Oxford (student satisfaction), St Andrews (good honours), Exeter (entry standards and academic services spend), Keele (facilities spend), Robert Gordon (good honours), Nottingham Trent (student-staff ratio), Plymouth (entry standards), Glasgow Caledonian (facilities spend), Winchester (staff-student ratio), Northumbria (academic services spend and facilities spend), Portsmouth (student-staff ratio), Worcester (entry standards), De Montford (student-staff ratio), Lincoln (graduate prospects) and London South Bank (student satisfaction).

Data were used from the previous year for the following institutions and measures: Royal Holloway (student satisfaction), Queen's Belfast (completion), Birmingham (student satisfaction), University of the Arts (student satisfaction), Glasgow Caledonian (completion) and Greenwich (entry standards).

A value of 0.0 in the Student Satisfaction column is NOT a zero score. For English universities, it denotes that scores were not available whereas for the Scottish universities it means that they did not take part in the National Student Survey

London Metropolitan University refused to allow the release of their data.
