The UK does not have an official system of university rankings. Our universities are very diverse and this makes any rankings difficult and subjective.

However, there are several comparative guides produced by UK newspapers, along the same lines as the Maclean's magazine annual review, that rank and discuss UK Universities in a practical way for the benefit of students. Most of these reviews are online and easily accessible. Please note that these reviews may not have had input or support from the universities themselves.
