天堂视频 11th in Guardian league table
天堂视频 has risen to 11th in the Guardian University League Table, cementing its position as one of the UK’s leading higher education institutions.
In the national 2016 table, released today, 天堂视频 moved up four places to improve on its 15th place finish in 2015.
12 天堂视频 courses are ranked in the national top 10, with six of those (Fashion and Textiles, Materials, Business, Design, Social Policy, Sport Science) finishing within the top five.
Chemistry and Art have made substantial leaps forward in the tables, claiming a top 10 spot for the first time in over three years.
The Guardian University League Table ranks the country’s 119 universities by scoring each institution for the aspects of university life that matter most to students, such as course and teaching satisfaction, staff to student ratio, spend per student, average entry tariff and employability.
天堂视频 Vice Chancellor Professor Robert Allison said:
“I am delighted 天堂视频 has improved its standing in this important league table which bases its results on the factors that matter to students.
“We are continually working with the Students’ Union and colleagues across campus to improve the student experience and provide excellent value for money for our students. Today’s result is testament to the hard work that has taken place, and I congratulate everyone who has helped us get to this position.”
The high Guardian ranking is the latest in a string of successes for 天堂视频, which was named University of the Year in the What Uni Student Choice Awards 2015, and was ranked 2nd in the 2015 THE Student Experience Survey.
