Keele moves up Guardian League Table for third consecutive year


Posted on 03 June 2014

Keele has moved up three places to 42nd position in the prestigious Guardian University League Table for 2015, an upward move of 12 places in the last three years.

The Guardian's league tables rank universities according to: spending per student; their student/staff ratio; graduate career prospects; what grades applicants need to get a place; a value-added score that compares students' entry qualifications with their final degree results; and how satisfied final-year students are with their courses, based on results from the annual National Student Survey.

Keele University Vice-Chancellor, Professor Nick Foskett, said: "Our position in the Guardian league table shows solid foundations and continuous improvement. It is one of the key locations for prospective students to find out just how each university and its schools compare to others. Keele has performed well once again, featuring in the Top 20 for eight subject groups, with Medicine, fourth in the country, Health Professions and American Studies, both third nationally, and Pharmacy in the Top 10."
