Study Group university partners top UK rankings
All of Study Group's UK university partners feature in the top 100 of the 2024 Complete University Guide, with Durham University, University of Surrey, University of Sheffield, Cardiff University, University of Leeds, University of Strathclyde, University of Aberdeen, Royal Holloway University of London and University of Sussex each placing in the top 50.
The newly released UK ranking is informed by public data from a range of sources, including the National Student Survey and the Higher Education Statistics Agency. It assesses student satisfaction, research quality, graduate employment prospects and other factors that prospective students may consider as part of their selection process.
Dr Mark Cunnington, Study Group’s Managing Director of University Partnerships, UK & Ireland, says: “We’re extremely proud to see all our UK university partners featured in the top 100 of this years’ Complete University Guide. The breadth of research quality and strong graduate prospects offered by these prestigious universities allow us to match every international student that we support to a higher education path that meets their goals and aspirations."
