The Complete University Guide has released its 2027 league tables, which ranks the best universities in the UK overall and across 74 subject areas.
Fourteen Scottish universities, including four in Edinburgh, made the list, which assesses universities based on several different measures, including entry standards, student satisfaction, research quality, and graduate prospects.
Each university is given individual scores in each area which are then used to calculate an overall score for each university.
The University of Cambridge tops the UK table, which features 130 universities across the nation, with a perfect score of 100 per cent.
The University of Oxford comes in at number 2 with a score of 98 per cent, while London School of Economics is ranked third in the UK with a score of 95 per cent.
