If you or your child are off to university in the next year or two then we strongly suggest you check out The Times & The Sunday Times newspapers’ guide to British universities which will be published in September.
The two newspapers have produced separate university guides since 1993 and 1998 respectively. From this year, the teams will come together with the most comprehensive guide to higher education in Britain in print and digital formats across The Times and The Sunday Times, say the publishers.
The newspaper editions and book will include the definitive rankings of British universities, based on their performance in a number of key areas for undergraduates. These cover student satisfaction with the quality of their teaching and academic feedback, course content and facilities; graduate job prospects; the likelihood of achieving a high-class degree; entry standards; research quality; student/staff ratio; and spending on library and other student services.
There will also be more than 60 subject tables, highlighting centres of excellence. These tables will be based on an analysis of student satisfaction, entry standards, research quality and graduate prospects.
John Witherow and Martin Ivens, acting editors of The Times and The Sunday Times respectively, said: "Between them, The Times and The Sunday Times have produced 35 university guides over the past two decades. By bringing together two outstanding teams and combining the best of both publications, Times Newspapers will create the definitive first reference point for all prospective students and their parents. The new publication will offer unrivalled coverage and insight."
