Choosing which university is best for your course is a tricky task. It’s a lot of responsibility. You’re going to be spending at least three years living, studying, making memories in this place, so it needs to be right for you.
It’s not a decision to be made on a whim; because your friend is going there or because you think the nightlife in the city looks decent.
This choice requires careful consideration and many important factors should contribute to your final decision. The location of the uni, the accommodation, the courses offered and how well the university ranks for student satisfaction should come into play.
If you know exactly what subject you want to study and you’re truly passionate about the field, a great way to find the perfect fit is to find out which university performs best for your chosen degree.
Every year, The Complete University Guide produces a series of UK university league tables, ranking them on a number of points, including by subject. Below, we’ve created a brief overview of the league table and examined 60 different degree subjects, so you can easily see the best university for your field of study.
