AHZ, as a premium partner of UK universities, is proud of the rankings revealed in 2025. The Guardian’s rankings are based on a comprehensive evaluation using nine distinct criteria, including teaching quality, career prospects, and overall student feedback.

This methodical strategy guarantees a comprehensive evaluation of the institution’s performance by considering aspects including the efficacy of pedagogical practices, the influence on students’ potential for future employment, and students’ general happiness with their educational experience.

Taking all of these factors into account, The Guardian gives a detailed and accurate assessment of each university’s merits and weaknesses, which is helpful for stakeholders and potential students.
