Salford up nine places in Complete University Guide League Table

Across subject areas, the University's ranking has improved in just over two thirds of the subject tables, with nine subjects where we are in the top 50% of the subject table AND improving rank on last year. These subjects are: Medical Technology & Bioengineering, Music, Architecture, Sociology, Art & Design, Counselling Psychotherapy & Occupational Therapy, Geography & Environmental Science, Computer Science and Marketing - which is the best performer, ranking 25th out of 92 and rising 50 places.

Dr Sam Grogan, Pro Vice-Chancellor Student Experience at the University of Salford, commented: “Given all of the ongoing challenges of the past year this improvement is really pleasing and I would like to sincerely thank all colleagues for the work that they have done. The gains that we have made show that, although we still have a long way to go, we are moving in the right direction."

The Complete University Guide rankings are based on ten measures: Student Satisfaction, Research Quality, Research Intensity, Entry Standards, Student: Staff ratio; Spending on Academic Services; Spending on Facilities; Graduate Prospects Outcomes; Graduate Prospects on Track, and Degree Completion.
