The Times Good University Guide 2023 has been released - ranking all universities in the UK from best to worst measured against a range of criteria - but where does Glasgow rank in the University league tables?
We wanted to see just how Glasgow Universities would rank up against opposition like the University of St Andrews and the University of Edinburgh - the University of Glasgow would certainly be in the running for the top spot, given its ancient status.
Included in this league table are:
- Glasgow Caledonian University
- University of Glasgow
- University of Strathclyde
- University of the West of Scotland
The Times team put together the rankings to give an overview of higher education in Britain - it includes profiles on 135 universities across the whole of the UK.
This article will only include Scottish Universities, to see just how well Glasgow’s higher education institutions fare against the rest of the country. Take a look below to see how Glasgow universities compared to the rest of Scotland’s universities.
