What are UK University Rankings?
UK university ranking - also known as "uni rankings" - assesses several different aspects in order to rank universities in the United Kingdom according to their quality level. Factors measured include students' satisfaction, teaching quality, graduate prospects, entrance qualifications, degree results achieved, student-staff ratios, facilities, and completion rates. The main uni rankings in the United Kingdom are published annually by The Times and The University League.
