All the data in the university league tables come from sources in the public domain. 

The data of entry standards, graduate prospects and such is collected from UK universities by Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA), and supplied by Jisc, the UK digital agency that supports further and higher education. 

In some cases the source data wasn't available and was instead obtained directly from the individual universities.
