Hi there @Anonymous - DMU here - hello! :colondollar:

I'd say, at least from my experience, that everyone is different when it comes to what's a 'good' University. Both in terms of how it's reputation is received, or, if it's the 'right' University to meet a student's needs.

For example: a University that's part of the Russell Group may be a 'lower' ranking or 'bad' University to someone considering and applying for Oxford or Cambridge. Someone else from a different background, with ambitions for Nursing, or Medicine, may see a purely Academic Institution as a 'poor' choice for their career ambitions. Another example would be a student interested in Software Engineering, would look for different Institutions, and have different opinions on 'good' and 'bad' than a student for Architecture. It really depends on what you want out of University!

We know that a lot of factors are important when considering the University - and new home in some cases - that you are going to study at for the foreseeable future! :redface:

Some of the factors that are typically considered to decide if a University is 'good' or not refer to the Ranking of a University (worldwide, out of UK Universities, or for a chosen subject) usually by the Times Higher Education Rankings, whether it is a part of the Russell Group, career prospects after graduation (our Award-Winning Careers Team might help with this one :biggrin:

), Student satisfaction (National Student Survey 2023 may be of use here), and teaching standards (we recently were awarded Silver in the Teaching Excellence Framework

).

Here at DMU we endeavour to continually improve and build upon the resources, support, and experience that we offer. :smartass:
