The Times has ranked and released data on every University in the UK - we put together this list of Scottish universities from The Good University Guide to see how Glasgow ranks up in Scotland and the UK.
The Good University Guide ranks all 134 university institutions in the UK using several different factors: Teaching quality, student experience, research quality, entry standards, graduate prospects, how many students achieve a first or 2:1s, continuation rate, and student-staff ratio to provide a final ‘total score’ - which secures the universities place in the league table.
Several education institutions are not included in the rankings put forward by The Sunday Times, principally Glasgow School of Art, Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, and the Open University.
Take a look as we take a look at the full rankings of Scottish universities to see where Glasgow institutions place.
