How subject rankings work

CUG combines entry standards, student satisfaction, research quality, research intensity, academic services spend, facilities spend, graduate prospects (outcomes + on-track), student-staff ratio, and continuation.

Subject rankings apply the same methodology to courses within a single discipline. They tend to reorder the overall table — a top-10 overall university may rank lower in a specific subject, and vice versa.
