The Complete University Guide is a national league table used by prospective students to make choices on where they apply to university, as well as displaying clearing options and universities accepting later applications. Its main league table ranks 130 institutions in the UK based on the following measures: entry standards; student satisfaction, research quality, research intensity, academic services spend, facilities spend, continuation, student-staff ratio and graduate prospects.

The guide also features over 70 subject tables which rank individual courses, taking into account entry standards, student satisfaction, research quality, continuation and graduate prospects.
