Notes
This Arts, Music & Drama League Table is free-standing and cannot be conflated with the main University League Table. The use of z-scores and subject mix make the two tables discrete and incompatible (even though they share a methodology).
Read University and Subject League Table Methodology to find where the data comes from, how the tables are compiled, and explanations of the measures used.
