The Good University Guide published by the Times takes into account of a wide range of criteria (such as student satisfaction, research quality, entry standard, graduate prospects, etc) to evaluate the quality of education in an university. The Guide’s more holistic approach is believed to be able to reflect standards in both teaching and learning, as well as academic researches, which is why we have always recommended the Good University Guide as the quantitative reference when students and parents choose the right university.
What’s particularly noteworthy in the 2024 university rankings?
- Benefiting from improvement in graduate prospects, University of St Andrews once again claims the top spot in this year’s university ranking table, beating both University of Oxford and University of Cambridge for the second time!
- Computer science has become the most popular degree in the UK! Students applying to study a subject that includes robotics, game design and cyber security have increased by 31% since 2019.
- In terms of graduate prospects, the existing Average Graduate Salary across all subjects is at £26,000. As more and more Hong Kong students are planning to stay in the UK for good after graduate, we’re introducing more information about graduate salary in our university ranking tables, to help students learn more about the labour market of the UK. But remember, average graduate salary is just one way to look at graduate prospects. Many disciplines offer a very rewarding career that go beyond the starting salaries!
- Disciplines that have an average graduate salary at or above the overall average level include Aeronautical and Manufacturing, Agriculture and Forestry, Bioengineering and Biomedical Engineering, Building, Business Studies, Celtic Studies, Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Civil Engineering, Computer Science, Dentistry, Economics, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Food Science, General Engineering, Geology, Iberian Languages, Information Systems and Management, Land and Property Management, Liberal Arts, Materials Technology, Mathematics, Mechanical Engineering, Medicine, Middle Eastern and African Studies, Natural Sciences, Pharmacology and Pharmacy, Physics and Astronomy, Physiotherapy, Politics, Radiography, Russian and East European Languages, Social Work, Town and Country Planning and Landscape and Veterinary Medicine. But remember, average graduate salary just one way to look at graduate prospects. Many disciplines offer very rewarding careers that go beyond the starting salaries!
