On the guide's website, it said: "Vastly improved rates of student satisfaction at Winchester have prompted a 19-place rise for the university in our main academic league table to rank joint 87th. In our analysis of the latest National Student Survey results, Winchester is in the upper half of UK universities for satisfaction with teaching quality (up 33 places to 62=). For satisfaction with the wider undergraduate experience it has made even bigger gains, up from 108th in 2021 to joint 57th in 2022 and far outdoing its pre-pandemic performance on this measure."

In first place was Oxford, with a 99 per cent completion rate and 91.6 per cent graduate prospects rate.

The guide puts the University of Oxford in first place nationally too.

This is for the first time in 12 years, after the global recognition of its work on the Covid vaccine.
