The University of Exeter has reached the top ten of a major rankings table for the first time.
The Complete University Guide 2014 shows that Exeter has moved up three places to 10th in its annual league table. The improvement is mainly due to an increase in student satisfaction and graduate prospects in the past year. The University also received praise for its environmental impact and accommodation. There has been little change in the rest of the top ten with Cambridge, Oxford and the LSE leading the way.
Professor Sir Steve Smith, Vice Chancellor of the University of Exeter said: “This is excellent news and means that we are ranked in the top 10 in all the major domestic league tables. We have had a fantastic year as we have been named The Sunday Times University of the year, completed our £380 million investment programme and seen our Undergraduate applications for next year rise by 36 per cent.”
Guild President Nick Davies said: “It is fantastic to have risen up to 10th in the Complete University Guide. Working closely with the University, the Students’ Guild has driven the agenda to ensure that students get the best possible experience while studying at Exeter. For example, in the last year we have campaigned for lower student to staff ratios, improved employability and been recognised as the most environmentally friendly student union in the country.”
