We are certainly trying our best to climb back up in the league tables. One of the major areas for improvement was our staff to student ratio. Over the last three years we have employed over 100 academic staff to help improve our student experience. This is finally paying off as we have improved our position in the rankings this year and can start an upward climb.
As mentioned above, league tables aren’t the be all and end all measure of a university, we have ranked consistently highly for student satisfaction and graduate outcomes in the National Student Survey, Teaching Excellence Framework and in LEO data, all of which may be just as important than an overall ranking. You’re likely to have a great time whilst you’re here and be set up for a great career when you leave.
