The Guardian University Guide 2019 is now online, letting you know how every major higher education institution in the UK is performing. Universities with lots to celebrate include Nottingham Trent University, Liverpool John Moores University and the University of Lincoln.
But how does it work? How do we calculate which courses and campuses top the tables? And what sets our number-crunching apart from other guides?
The compiler of the tables, Matt Hiely-Rayner from Intelligent Metrix, will be on hand from 12-2pm on Tuesday 29 May to answer all of your questions and explain the lengthy process of consultation, categorisation and calculation that goes in to creating the final list.
Take a look at our guide to using the tables and – for the data-lovers – Hiely-Rayner’s detailed explanation of the methodology, including the changes made to the process for 2018. Then send us your questions by posting in the comments below or tweeting us via @GdnHigherEd using #gdnuniguide2019. The comments section is open now (although your questions won’t be answered until the live chat).
