The Times good university guide 2003

How do you find the best university for the subject you wish to study?

This guide gives facts, figures and comparative assessments of universities.

It takes the key measures of quality as its focus, so you can make informed choices of university and subjects. Original and controversial, the rankings provide hard data, and analyses, interpreted and presented by a team of experts.

This 2003 edition has been expanded and offers: a league table ranking Britain's universities, enabling readers to assess relative strengths and weaknesses; over 60 tables giving the best universities for particular subjects; the results of the new research assessment exercise, published in December 2001 incorporated into all the tables; and advice on how to select a course and a university.There is also guidance on how to apply and pay your way through university and information specifically designed for international students.
