Top Architecture courses

Ordered by the arithmetic mean of the official measures published for each course, NSS satisfaction, graduate activity and continuation. Official data only; no commercial league-table input. Two of the three measures are published rounded to the nearest 5 percentage points, so courses are grouped into bands against the whole board instead of scored out of 10, and courses whose measures are identical are listed alphabetically.
