How can I find out which is the best university or college for my chosen course?

There is no one university or college which is perfect for everyone: different places suit different people, so it depends upon your preferences. You may be interested in whether a university or college is in a big city or rural location, whereas another student may be more concerned about the number of bedrooms in the halls of residence. What is important is what is best for you.

For information and impartial advice check the Times Online (you'll need to subscribe to the site) or The Complete University Guide, an interactive site which allows you to alter the weightings of the different criteria to suit your own requirements and so create your own unique table. You can get the official information about academic standards and quality at universities and colleges from The Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education (QAA).
