MANCHESTER Metropolitan University has jumped seventeen places in The Guardian’s annual UK university league table, climbing from 77th position to 60th out of 119 ranked institutions.

Three Manchester Met courses were ranked amongst the top 10 in the UK

The news continues a successful year for the university, which also recorded the largest rise of any UK university (from 73rd to 57th) in the Complete University Guide published earlier this year.

Vice-Chancellor Professor Malcolm Press said: “The Guardian University League Table places particular emphasis on the quality of the student experience, so rising so many places is a particularly gratifying endorsement of our approach.”

Three Manchester Met courses were ranked amongst the top 10 in the UK – Architecture (9), Designs & Crafts (9) and Hospitality, Event Management and Tourism (8), with a further eight within the top 20, including Nursing and Midwifery (19), Criminology (18) and Education (15).

The University of Manchester, meanwhile, dropped two places from 29th to 31st in this year’s Guardian rankings. Though earlier in the month the university had been ranked 49th in the world by the Times Higher Education World Reputation Rankings, an increase from 50th last year.

The Guardian’s league tables rank universities according to: spending per student; the 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 (NSS).
