How to use the subject tables

Universities are ranked by the overall combined score from four indicators: assessments of teaching quality and research, average A-level scores of entrants and destinations. The destinations figure is the percentage of graduates who go on to graduate-type jobs or further study. Scores are weighted to ensure fairness when data is missing from one of the columns
