All Universities

Welcome to the third edition of the Daily Mail University Guide, the higher-education manual that puts students at the heart of its rankings.

One university - Imperial College London - leads our institutional league table, but table-topping success is shared by 44 universities at subject level.

Faced with student loan debt that now averages £53,000 in England, students are increasingly considering job prospects as a key part of their decision on where - and what - to study.

Only Class of 2025 graduates from 31 universities will earn enough to be able to begin to repay their student loans at the first opportunity next April.

The vast majority of students heading off to university will rely on loans to fund their studies and living expenses - and many will continue repaying these loans for most of their working lives.

The university admissions body has overhauled the personal statement. The questions reveal what ought to have been in personal statements all along, but which eluded many who lacked help.

Selecting the right combination of universities on your UCAS form is a little like a game of chess - you need to find a sensible combination of attack and defence to succeed.

The number of applicants winning university places through Clearing each year continues to rise, with one in eight students now getting into higher education by this route.

The Daily Mail University Guide's institutional ranking measures UK universities on their performance across 12 indicators, making it the broadest ranking of its kind.

Which universities offer students the best chance of getting a good job and getting ahead with the repayment of their student loans? This question should be prominent in the thoughts of most students.

EXCLUSIVE

Our exclusive ranking is based on five performance measures which focus on student life at university and then their success in the jobs market afterwards.
