Guildhall has risen to fourth place of all higher education institutions for Music in the 2021 Guardian University Guide music league table,  and ranked second of all higher education institutions for Drama in the drama league table.

In Music, student satisfaction with courses has gone up by 10 percentage points from last year, and in Drama, student satisfaction and satisfaction with teaching ratings have risen by 4.7 and 4.2 percentage points respectively.
