Universities across Yorkshire have discovered how they ranked in the latest edition of the popular Sunday Times Good University Guide.
The 2027 league table rankings have been revealed and some of our county’s higher education institutions have ranked among the best in the country.
The University of Leeds has made it into the top 25 for the whole of the UK. Meanwhile Leeds Trinity was named the best for student experience in the latest edition of the guide.
Helen Davies, editor of The Times and The Sunday Times Good University Guide, said: “What shines through more than ever this year is an emphasis on preparing students for future careers.
“Universities have tailored their campuses to suit hands-on learning with mock court rooms, simulations of clinical settings — some even serve the public — and trading floors.
“But, for this next generation of students and the higher education sector at large, this is a challenging time with institutions struggling with their own finances, and the toughest graduate jobs market in more than a decade.
“There are hard questions to ask: can I afford it? What will I get from a degree? Is it worth it?
“This is where our guide comes in. We are here to help, whether it is about deciding what subject to study, where to go, or how student loans really work.”
