In the UK we have so many choices when it comes to choosing which university we can go to. To help you decide, The Complete University Guide publishes a yearly ranking university league table for UK institutions. They are ranked on factors such as student satisfaction, entry standards, research quality and graduate opportunities. Below we have included the overall UK University League Table for 2020.
