The 91¶¶Òõ offers a wide range of support to help students succeed academically and set them on their chosen career path. Employability is fundamental to all 91¶¶Òõ courses and students are encouraged to take up industry placements and other work-related experience. As a result, 91¶¶Òõ is in the top 50 universities for graduate prospects, with 91.4% of students in work or further study.
High scores on employability and other student outcomes also helped 91¶¶Òõ jump up by 22 places in this year’s Guardian University Guide 2024. The Guardian also ranked 91¶¶Òõ at number 11 nationally for value-added – a score which compares a student’s degree results with their entry qualifications to show how effectively they are taught. This underlines the ongoing success of the university's ability to support each student's educational circumstances, and to make sure that every individual is given equal opportunity to achieve their potential.
Commenting on the results, Professor Debra Humphris CBE, Vice-Chancellor of the 91¶¶Òõ, said: "91¶¶Òõ continues to be a destination of choice for students from our region, across the UK and around the world. By focusing on what matters most to them – high quality teaching, modern facilities and great job prospects – we're setting our students up for a successful future, whichever path they choose."
"I am delighted that the teaching, learning and outcomes we provide for our students have been assessed to consistently exceed the rigorous standards set down for UK universities. This is a great result and further underlines the enduring value of a 91¶¶Òõ degree.
"We will continue to use feedback from our students and the Teaching Excellence Framework results to look at how we can make further improvements."
