The Guardian newspaper has published its annual university guide, ranking educational institutions out of a maximum of 100 points.
This year saw Oxford University claim top spot, with the University of St Andrews named the best in Scotland.
Compilers used eight metrics, namely; satisfaction with teaching, satisfaction with feedback and assessments, the student-to-staff ration, the money spent on each student, the typical Ucas score of entrants, the effectiveness of teaching, how many students find a graduate job (or continue their education) 15 months after graduating, and the percentage of first year students who continue to second year.
The figures relating to the number of students progressing to jobs or further study are interesting, as they don’t necessarily tally with the best universities overall.
UK-wide the figures range from just 60 per cent, for Bucks New University, to 95 per cent for London’s Imperial College.
And Scotland’s universities perform fairly well, with four in the top 14 UK-wide for employability, including Aberdeen’s Robert Gordon University.
Here are the 10 universities in Scotland with the highest success rate for graduates finding jobs.
