Questions to ask yourself

Deciding on a university and a course to study can be overwhelming. As a first step, think about what factors are important to you. Ask yourself:

• What subject area or specific course interests you?
• Where do you want to study?
• What type of university do you want to go to? e.g., city, town, rural
• What other opportunities and facilities do you want or need? e.g., student support, extracurricular activities, accommodation options

Our search tool Uniselect can help you come up with a shortlist based on some of these questions. The clearer you are, the more accurate the shortlist will be, but you can generate multiple shortlists based on different ideas you might have.

How do I compare universities?

Once you have identified and created your shortlist and worked out what matters most to you, our league tables will also help you compare university performance in areas like student satisfaction and graduate employability.

For a deeper dive into your shortlisted universities, read our uni profiles. This will give you a useful summary of each university offer including student support, facilities and what your student experience might be like.

You can find these by clicking on a university name in a league table or via the universities tab at the top of our home page.

How do I compare university courses?

You can compare university courses by using our subject league tables. There are 74 different subject areas to choose from. The relevant table ranks universities offering a subject according to various criteria including entry standards, student satisfaction, research quality and graduate prospects.

You can also compare subjects by using our course search. Select a subject you鈥檙e interested in and discover different courses on offer at each university. You can access course details including module specifics by clicking on a course that interests you.

If you鈥檙e still in two minds about what to study, check out our subject guides to help you consider all the options.
