The 70 subject tables are based on five measures: Student Satisfaction, Research Quality, Research Intensity, Entry Standards and Graduate Prospects and include 143 universities, university colleges and specialist higher education institutions. Three London universities feature in the Guide's top ten this year. This is the most of any region, with the capital accounting for 22 of the 129 universities ranked in the main table.
