The top six places are unchanged from last year.

The 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ of Kent is the biggest faller, dropping five places to 26th, while the London School of Economics and Political Science and the 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ of Surrey each dropped four places to 11th?and 14th, respectively.

There are three new entrants in the table this year: the 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ of Manchester re-enters the list, where it last appeared in 2013, at 23rd?place; the 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ of Dundee is now at joint 24th; and the 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ for the Creative Arts joins at joint 29th?place.

Meanwhile, the 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ of Southampton falls out of the table, while City, 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ of London and Falmouth 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ, both new entrants last year, fail to remain in the ranking for a second year.

The 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ of Essex and Heriot-Watt 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ just missed out on entering the table.

Each year since 2008,?THE?has compiled a ¡°Table of Tables¡± to offer a snapshot of how universities are viewed by national newspapers. It is calculated by giving the 30 top-ranked institutions in league tables compiled by?The Good 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ Guide?(published by?The Times?and?The Sunday Times),?The Guardian?and?The Complete 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ Guide?points corresponding to their position (30 for first place, 29 for second, and so on). The total scores determined the positions. We make no claims for statistical rigour and acknowledge the methodological limitations.
