Corrections and clarifications

• The provider of the rankings for our University Guide 2026, which was published on 13 September, has informed us of a data processing error, which causes a ripple effect in the tables for a number of institutions and subjects. In the overall rankings, 26 universities move up or down one place, while two more drop two places and a third, Dundee’s Abertay University, rises five places. No institution in the top 20 is affected by the error. In the departmental rankings, three subjects – business and management, biomedical sciences, and marketing and PR – are affected, involving 159 changes; more than 90% of these moves are by one or two places, with changes occurring in the top 10 for each subject. Again, Abertay is the biggest mover, rising from 61st to 25th position in biomedical sciences. However, Abertay’s marketing and PR offering leaves the table, as does business and management at Suffolk University, owing to the guide’s data threshold requirements.

Separately, we referred to the Arts University Plymouth, featured on four subject tables, by its former name of Plymouth College of Art, and to Northeastern University London as New College of the Humanities; both institutions changed their names after gaining university status in 2022.
