*Note

Student Satisfaction

This provides a measure of satisfaction with the learning experience and is taken from the National Student Survey carried out in 2007. It is the average score of the first fifteen questions of that survey.
 The Education Table uses teaching quality, as measured by the outcomes of Ofsted inspections of teacher training courses, in place of the National Student Survey.

Research Quality

This provides a measure of the average quality of research undertaken in the subject area. The first figure gives a quality rating 5* (top), 5, 4, 3a, 3b, 2 or 1(bottom). The letter refers to the proportion of staff included in the numerical assessment, with A including virtually everyone and F hardly anyone. These data are taken from the last research assessment exercise in 2001.

Entry Standards (Tariff)


This is the average UCAS tariff score for new first degree students under the age of 21, taken from HESA data for 2006–07. Each student’s examination grades were converted to a numerical score (A level A=120, B=100, etc; Scottish Highers A=72, B=60, etc) and added up to give a total score. HESA then calculated an average score for each university.

Graduate Prospects (Destinations)

This is the percentage of graduates undertaking further study or graduate employment in the annual survey by HESA six months after graduation. Two years of data are aggregated to make the data more reliable and scores are withheld where the number of students is too small to calculate a reliable percentage. A low number on this measure does not necessarily mean that many graduates were unemployed – some could have obtained jobs that are not usually considered graduate jobs.
