The University of Warwick has retained seventh place in the UK in the Guardian University Guide 2027, remaining the highest-ranked university in the Midlands.
The latest rankings also place 16 Warwick subjects in the national top 10. Accounting and Finance, Creative Writing, and Media and Film Studies are each ranked second in the UK, while nine Warwick subjects feature in The Guardian's top five.
The Guardian University Guide is designed to reflect the aspects of university performance that matter most to students. Its overall table uses eight measures, including teaching and assessment satisfaction, student-to-staff ratios, spending per student, continuation, entry standards, value added and graduate career prospects.
Professor Stuart Croft, Vice-Chancellor and President of the University of Warwick, said: "To be ranked seventh in the UK and the leading university in the Midlands is a real source of pride for our entire community. This strong result reflects the dedication and talent of our staff and students, and the ambition we share for Warwick."
"A ranking is one measure of a university, and what sits behind it matters deeply: the experience we offer our students, the support they receive and the opportunities a Warwick education opens up. Our focus is on giving every Warwick student an outstanding education and the confidence and skills to pursue their ambitions."
The result is the latest in a series of strong national and international rankings for Warwick. In August, the University rose to fifth in the Daily Mail University Guide 2027, where it was ranked fourth for graduate salaries and seventh for highly skilled jobs.
Earlier this year, Warwick rose two places to seventh in the Complete University Guide 2027, before climbing six places to rank 68th globally, and 10th among UK universities, in the QS World University Rankings 2027.
Professor Michael Scott, Pro-Vice-Chancellor (International) and Institutional Lead for Rankings at the University of Warwick, said: "It is particularly encouraging to see the breadth of Warwick's academic excellence reflected in these results. Sixteen subjects in the UK top 10, including three ranked second, show the quality and impact of our teaching across the arts, social sciences, science and medicine.
"This latest result adds to the real momentum we are seeing across national and international rankings. It reflects the talent of our academic community, the success of our graduates and our continued focus on strengthening the experience and opportunities available to every Warwick student."
Warwick's top-five ranked subjects by the Guardian are: Accounting and Finance (2nd); Creative Writing (2nd); Media and Film Studies (2nd); Business and Management (4th); Criminology (4th); Economics (5th); International Relations (5th); Medicine (5th); and Politics (5th).
