Our University has once again secured its place in the top 20 UK universities, placing 16th overall in The Times and The Sunday Times Good University Guide 2022.
Consolidating our position as one of the best universities in the UK, this latest ranking places us second in the South East region, with only the University of Oxford placing higher.
Our President and Vice-Chancellor, Professor Mark E. Smith, said:
“Placing 16th in the Good University Guide is a strong result consolidating around our rise of five places last year into the Top 20. We are now Top 20 across all major UK university guides and we should all be immensely proud of this remarkable achievement.
“Our consistent excellence in research, education and enterprise activities is only made possible by the efforts and dedication of our colleagues across the University. My thanks go out to each and every one of you as we approach the new academic year.”
The Good University Guide is compiled using indicators focused on student satisfaction with teaching quality and the wider student experience, research quality, graduate prospects, entrance qualifications held by new students, degree results achieved, student/staff ratios, services and facilities spend, and degree completion rates with further consideration given to social inclusion.
We’ve enjoyed a number of recent rankings successes, including our six-place rise to 17th in this year’s Guardian University Guide, our place in the top 15 of the Complete University Guide 2022, and our rise of 13 places in the QS World University Rankings 2022.
