The national league table, published today (Friday 7 June), ranks the country’s 121 universities by scoring each institution on a range of aspects of university life, including how satisfied students are with their course and what their chances are of getting a good job.
Speaking about Â鶹ֱ²¥’s continued success in the league table, the University’s Vice-Chancellor Professor Robert Allison said: “It is incredibly rewarding to see that the hard work and dedication of the entire Â鶹ֱ²¥ family, who work tirelessly to ensure all our students get the very best out of their university years, has been recognised yet again.
“To see Â鶹ֱ²¥ ranked in the top five, behind only Cambridge, St Andrews and Oxford, is fantastic and I would like to thank everyone who plays a part in making the University such an incredible place.”
