The University has risen in the Complete University Guide which was published online today.
We have risen six places since 2018, now placing 20th out of 131 universities in the Guide’s 2019 league table.
Our place in the league table is based on several criteria: entry standards, student satisfaction, research excellence and intensity, graduate prospects, student-staff ratio, university spending on services and facilities, graduates receiving a first or upper second class honours degree, and degree completion.
In addition, the Guide places the University in the top 10 in the following nine subject areas:
- Aeronautical and Manufacturing Engineering (4th of 37)
- Anatomy and Physiology (8th of 36)
- Aural and Oral Sciences (3rd of 18)
- Civil Engineering (6th of 56)
- Communication and Media Studies (9th of 96)
- Computer Science (7th of 110)
- Education (10th of 80)
- Electrical and Electronic Engineering (4th of 68)
- Mechanical Engineering (6th of 69)
We have now featured in the top 10 for Aeronautical & Manufacturing, Civil, and Electrical and Electronic Engineering every year since the Guide was first published in 2008.

“I’m delighted that our ranking has climbed six places this year in the Complete University Guide. This is evidence of progress with our education strategy over the last few years, and although there is still much to do, it’s clear we are definitely on the right track and I’d like to extend my thanks to the staff involved in this success.”
