Keele ranked among global elite
To be recognised among the world's leading universities underlines our commitment to providing our students with the highest quality educational programmes and learning environment, coupled with excellence in our research.
Keele is placed in the #401-500 band of the world’s best higher education institutions and in the top 1.5% for 'international outlook', one of the key performance indicators that looks at staff, students and research.
Keele University Vice-Chancellor, Professor Trevor McMillan, said: "To be recognised among the world's leading universities underlines our commitment to providing our students with the highest quality educational programmes and learning environment, coupled with excellence in our research. We remain top for student satisfaction, are one of the leading universities for graduate employment and 97% of our research is deemed world leading or of international importance."
Phil Baty, editor of the THE World University Rankings, said: “The Times Higher Education World University Rankings, now in their 12th year, apply rigorous standards, using tough global benchmarks across all of a global research university’s key missions – teaching, research, knowledge transfer and international outlook. The results are trusted by students and their families, academics, university leaders and governments. For Keele University to make 401-500 in the world is an outstanding achievement to be celebrated.”

The table - based on 13 performance indicators - has become a major resource not just for students but for academics, university leaders, industry and governments.
