When ranking universities, The Guardian league table considers factors such as student satisfaction and feedback satisfaction, as well as teaching satisfaction. 

The Guardian also ranks individual subjects, and it named Film and Television studies at Warwick University the best in the country. 

Professor Rachel Moseley, Head of the Department for Film and Television studies, said: “We are really delighted to be ranked first in the UK for Film and Television Studies, with a score of 100%, after the toughest of years in 2020-2021. 

“This says everything about the commitment and hard work of our academic and professional support colleagues, and about the passion and outstanding achievements of our students. 

“Well done and an enormous thank you to everyone.”

Other subjects which ranked well include Business, Management and Marketing, which was placed 2nd, and History of Art, which was 3rd.
