South West's top university revealed
The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide has been released
The top University in the South West has been revealed.
The University of Bath has taken the number one spot in The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide for 2024.
Arts University Bournemouth and Bournemouth University came in 8th and 9th place respectively.
The guide looked at a number of criteria including graduate employment and quality of teaching.
Helen Davies, editor of The Times and The Sunday Times Good University Guide, said: “The higher education landscape has never been tougher. It is more competitive to get a place at many of our top institutions; the cost of attending university has soared, leaving graduates with extraordinary debt; and in many cases campus life still bears the scars of the pandemic. Meanwhile lecturers are on strike and the marking crisis is a running scandal.
“It means any prospective student, parent or carer needs to think hard about whether university is the right choice, and then where to study and what subject. It’s where this guide — our 30th edition — is here to help. Our online version has so much more on how the universities compare subject by subject, a guide on campus life, and what scholarships and bursaries may be on offer.
“We are here to champion the ambitious work of our first-class universities, and the aspirations of any student of any age who wants to keep on learning.”
