Notes
This table was revised on 24 May 2018 and includes corrections and omissions reported to us by universities after publication in April. The rankings of some institutions have changed as a result.
Student satisfaction data in this table are the percentage satisfied (out of 100) rather than the average score (out of 5) used in other tables. This is due to the nature of the data that is publicly available.
