Guardian University Guide

16 May 2017

Commenting on the publication of the new Guardian university guide, Russell Group Head of Policy Sarah Stevens said:

“League tables are a useful tool for applicants and it is no surprise to see Russell Group institutions scoring well here. But it is hard for any university ranking to capture the full student experience that an institution provides. Applicants should look beyond league tables to pick the course that is right for them.

“The quality of research that academics at Russell Group universities undertake is not measured in this ranking but has real benefits for students, who have the chance to learn from world-leading experts in their fields.”
