UK University 2009 Guardian Rankings

There are many different ways that the rank of UK universities in 2009 has been calculated. We’ve already included one – the 2009 UK Good University Guide – and for balance, we thought we’d include the UK University Ranking 2009 from The Guardian.

The UK University Ranking 2009 rates 46 subject areas at 149 universities using the following criteria:

  • Teaching quality, as rated by final-year students in the National Student Survey (NSS)
  • Feedback (assessment), as rated by final-year students in the NSS
  • Spending per student
  • Staff/student ratio
  • Job prospects
  • Value added – comparing students’ individual degree results with their entry qualifications
  • Entry qualifications (UCAS tariff score)

It is really important to note that this ranking of universities guide actually takes account of student feedback, specifically the satisfaction of students, in key areas such as teaching. This guide is here to help students and in particular undergraduates. Therefore, universities guide aims to rank universities based on teaching and not research ratings.

UK Language Schools Attract an Impressive Mix of Nationalities

A breakdown of respondents in a survey investigating nationalities of students at UK language schoolsA recent survey was carried out in May 2008 which wanted to investigate the current mix of nationalities at UK language schools. Several aspects of UK language schools were looked at, from student nationality and reasons for studying, to the standard of schools and how students enrolled on their course. It was found that their is a very healthy mix of nationalities at UK language schools, with no one nationality dominating, providing an ideal environment for learning English as a foreign language.
