Overall and thematic rankings

Overall or general university rankings are influenced by a combination of factors such as academic reputation, teaching quality, research impact, global outlook and employer perception of graduates. Thematic rankings focus on a specific topic, such as sustainability or reputation.

Subject rankings

There are both rankings for broader subject areas and rankings for specific subjects within these areas. There is also a separate ranking for specific degree programmes in finance and management.

The quality of teaching and research facilities are excellent.
