00:17 having moved up six places nationally.

00:34 research power in the latest Research Excellence Framework, with law, medicine and social sciences
00:41 among its highest scoring subject areas.
00:49 Helen Davis, the editor of the Times and the Sunday Times Good University Guide, said the
00:53 ranking is designed to champion the ambitious work of first-class universities and the aspirations
00:59 of any student of any age who wants to keep on learning.
01:06 The list is based on student satisfaction, teaching quality and the overall student experience.
01:12 Since 2018, the guide also includes social inclusion rankings for universities in England
01:17 and Wales, with a separate table for Scottish rankings.
01:22 The tables are based on key measures to reflect the diversity of their intake and subsequent
01:27 success when attending university.
01:33 This year, London School of Economics and Political Science was also shortlisted for
