St Mary’s University, Twickenham has risen 25 places in the 2019 Guardian University Guide league table.
The leap to 80th means St Mary’s is one of the highest climbers in the league table and comes after the University was named a ‘notable climber’ in the 2019 Complete University Guide rankings, and a similar jump in the most recent The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide.
The annual ranking looks at how universities perform across a range of key performance indicators including student to staff ratio, spend per student, satisfaction with course, teaching and feedback.
St Mary’s also climbed in a number of course-specific tables, with especially big climbs in the Biosciences category (44 places to 46th) and for Business Management & Marketing (24 places to 42nd) and Drama & Dance (24 places to 44th) while the University now ranks 22nd for Religious Studies and Theology.
St Mary’s Vice-Chancellor Prof Francis Campbell said, “It is fantastic to see St Mary’s make such big climbs in the three major university rankings this year. We have invested in improving standards across the University and we continue to provide outstanding graduate outcomes whilst placing student voice at the heart of the community. This is a great endorsement of our investment, the work of our staff and the plans laid out in Vision 2025."
