There are a number of different Med School rankings out there, which means it can be difficult to compare Med Schools and figure out which universities are the most well-regarded for Medicine.
We’ve collated both of these rankings into one Medicine league table below, so you can see which Med Schools come out the highest overall.
This table breaks down 2022 Med School rankings into four columns – the overall Complete University Guide score, the Complete University Guide scores for student satisfaction and graduate prospects, plus The Guardian’s overall score.
You can sort the table by each element – for example, allowing you to see which Med Schools have the highest student satisfaction rates.
Where a small number of Med Schools are not included, this is because they had insufficient data.
