Note on academic league tables

International rankings, including the QS and Times Higher, run with the academic year. As such 2019–20 is listed as 2020. 

The rest of the rankings are categorised by the year given to them by the respective publications, although they are released a year before this. So, for example, the 2020 Complete University Guide was released in 2019.
