Southampton rises to 14th in combined UK league table

The University has placed 14^th in an annual compilation of UK league tables published by the Times Higher Education.

The THE’s ‘Table of Tables’ combines the results of the UK’s three main domestic university rankings – The Complete University Guide, The Guardian University Guide and The Times and The Sunday Times Good University Guide.

Southampton placed 14^th in both the Complete and Guardian University Guides this year and came 16^th in the Good University Guide.

The table, which only lists the top 30 universities, shows that Southampton is one of this year’s highest climbers after rising three places from last year’s ranking of 17^th after climbing three places from 20^th the previous year.

Amongst Russell Group universities, Southampton is ranked 9^th in the table headed by Cambridge and Oxford at 1^st and 2^nd respectively.

This consolidates a year of league table success for the University on both the UK and global stage. The University is now:

• ranked 14th in the Guardian University Guide – rising five places from last year
• ranked 14th in the The Complete University Guide – rising two places from last year
• ranked 16th in the Good University Guide 2016 – rising two places from the previous year
• ranked 81st in the QS World Rankings – rising 13 places from the previous year
