How to use the Good Universities Guide ratings to find the right university for you
On paper, a qualification from one university might seem more or less the same as a similar qualification from another – but when you look more closely the differences run far deeper. Where you choose to spend the next few years while you achieve your next qualification can have a massive impact on your motivation, the skills and industry connections you leave with, and the path you take after university.
