League table results
University league tables attempt to provide prospective students, parents, teachers and advisers with an objective way of measuring one institution against another. There are several, most notably those produced by The Times, The Sunday Times and the Guardian.
League tables are constructed using different criteria, including teaching excellence, research quality, student/staff ratio and student satisfaction figures, and employ different scoring and weighting systems. This means that a university will rarely appear in the same position in two different league tables in the same year, and may be ranked much higher or lower against the criteria that matter most to you than their overall score might suggest. Another reason to use league tables carefully is that the overall ranking of the university does not always reflect the ranking of the subject you may want to study.
Our advice is to use league tables as a tool, but don't lose sight of what is most important - your own criteria. If you would like more information about studying here, visit our course pages or come to an open day.

Overall rankings
- Guardian University Guide 2012 (UC Falmouth, 46)
- Sunday Times University Guide 2011 (University College Falmouth, 79)
The Guardian's University Guide ranks universities according to how satisfied their final-year students are; how much each institution spends per student; the ratio of staff to students; the career prospects of graduates; and the grades that prospective students are required to achieve in order to have the chance of being offered a place. The National Student Satisfaction survey accounts for 25% of the total score for each institution.
