The Guardian ranks universities according to nine different measures: including how satisfied final-year students are with their courses, teaching and feedback, spending per student; the student/staff ratio; graduate career prospects; what grades applicants need to get a place; a value-added score that compares students’ entry qualifications with their final degree results.
The Daily Mail also published league table results today placing UWTSD:
- 1st in Wales and 4th in the UK for Teaching Excellence,
- 2nd in Wales and joint 4th in the UK for Student Support,
- 2nd in Wales and 11th in the UK for Student Experience.
Professor Mirjam Plantinga, the University’s Pro Vice-Chancellor Academic Experience at the University said: “We welcome the results of the league tables published today. We thank all our staff for their contribution to this excellent set of results.
“The fact that we have scored highly for teaching excellence and support reflects the commitment we place on the student experience. It is very pleasing also to see that so many of our subjects have been placed top 20 in the UK in this year’s Guardian University League Table.
“It shows the strength of our subjects across our campuses and demonstrates our longstanding reputation in these areas.”
