Our rankings

Every year, UK and international league tables are published to help prospective students decide which university is right for them.

The quality and standard of our teaching and research is vitally important to us and we strive to give our students the best education, opportunities, and experiences we can during their time with us. Our passion for excellence has led to us being a top-ranking school for journalism and media studies both in the UK and internationally, something we’re immensely proud of.

Our current rankings can be found in the table below.
