The Guardian newspaper has published its annual University Guide - with St Andrews University taking second spot overall, just behind Oxford.
The guide ranks the universities overall, as well as by course, using a series of metrics.
There are eight different scores, which are combined into an overall total out of 100.
The scores include what percentage of students are happy with their teaching and general feedback to the annual National Student Survey.
Researchers also looked at the student-to-staff ratio, how much universities spend on teaching each student, whether students’ academic performance improves at university (compared to their school exam results), how likely they are to finish their course, and how many students get graduate jobs 15 months after graduating.
Here are the 10 UK universities that performed best when it came to law - traditionally one of the most competitive courses to get into.
