UK University Ranking and Subject Ranking

For many students and parents, the UK university ranking published by the TIMES Good University Guide is a major reference when choosing their course of study. The ranking evaluates UK universities by criteria such as student satisfaction, research quality, entry standards, student-staff ratio and graduate prospect. With the release of the 2014 university ranking, we would like point out a few important changes in the ranking:

• University of Cambridge now tops the chart, replacing University of Oxford.
• Among the top 10, University of Bath and University of Exeter are two places up from last year, ranking the 7^th and the 9^th respectively – better than University College London (UCL) and University of Warwick.
• Among universities that provide On-Campus Foundation, many made it to the top 20. These include University of Surrey, University of East Anglia (UEA), Newcastle University and University of Sheffield.
• Unlike previous years, Physiotherapy and Radiography now have their own rankings, instead of being combined with other medical-related subjects.

The Importance of Subject Ranking

When looking at the university ranking table, students should be aware that it is based on overall performance of the universities, and therefore may not necessarily reflects a university’s strength in a specific subject area. For many reasons, some universities that are leading in a specific subject area might be ranked relatively low in the overall ranking table. This phenomenon is more common in newly developed subjects (such as hospitality & tourism). For students who have chosen a specific subject, subject ranking tables will be a better reference.
