Clearing 2018: What are the best universities for education, social life and accommodation?
Students across the country will be receiving their A-level results this week, which can be an anxiety-inducing business.
For those whose grades don't quite meet the demands of a university's conditional offer, the clearing process is there to help you find a last-minute alternative place.
But how best to choose a college or university? The decision can be a daunting one but seeing how the UK's top universities rank might help you make an informed decision.
Times Higher Education Student Experience Survey
Times Higher Education ranks Britain's universities based on the opinion of current students.
Undergraduates complete a survey on their experiences in higher education and the results are compiled to form a national league table.
Here's the overall top 10, followed by a selection of top 10s according to different criteria, ranking institutions according to such considerations as accommodation, student safety and the campus social scene.
