Department 7th in the UK in Guardian University guide 2019

Posted on 29 May 2018

Politics has moved up nine places into the top 10 UK Guardian University rankings

This week the Department confirmed its place among the UK’s most highly regarded departments for the subject of Politics. The department is ranked 7th in the UK in the Guardian University guide 2019.

Published annually, the Guardian’s University Guide ranks 121 UK universities by undergraduate degree subjects according to satisfaction with course, teaching and feedback; student to staff ratio spend per student; entry tariff; career after six months of leaving the course; degree results compared to entry qualifications; and continuation of first year students.

The rankings are based on official data collected by the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) and the National Student Survey, published by HEFCE.

The subjects of Biology (6), Chemistry (3), Law (5), and Social Policy (10) at York also remain in the UK top 10.
