Daily mail university ranking
The Daily Mail University Ranking is an annual ranking of universities in the United Kingdom, published by the Daily Mail newspaper. The ranking is based on a variety of factors, including student satisfaction, graduate employment rates, and academic reputation.

It's worth noting that the Daily Mail University Ranking is not the only university ranking in the UK, and different rankings may have different criteria and results. Other well-known university rankings in the UK include the QS World University Rankings, the Times Higher Education World University Rankings, and the Complete University Guide.
Here are some of the key factors that the Daily Mail University Ranking considers when compiling its list:
- Student satisfaction: This is based on a survey of students at each university, which asks about their overall satisfaction with their course and university.
- Graduate employment rates: This is based on data from the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA), which tracks the employment rates of graduates from each university.
- Academic reputation: This is based on a survey of academics and employers, which asks about their perceptions of each university's academic quality and reputation.
- Value for money: This is based on a survey of students, which asks about their perceptions of the value for money offered by each university.
- Student-staff ratio: This is based on data from HESA, which tracks the number of students per staff member at each university.
- Research quality: This is based on data from the Research Excellence Framework (REF), which assesses the quality of research at each university.
It's worth noting that the Daily Mail University Ranking has been criticized by some academics and universities for its methodology and criteria. Some have argued that the ranking places too much emphasis on student satisfaction and graduate employment rates, and not enough on other important factors such as research quality and academic reputation.
