Brunel has capped a successful summer by being named among the top 250 universities in the world.
The Times Higher Education (THE) World University Rankings has placed Brunel University London a band higher than last year, while confirming that quality of teaching on campus has improved every year since the rankings’ inception four years ago.
It means that the University has climbed three bands in the rankings since 2012/13, when it placed among the 301st to 350th best globally, to being named among the 226th to 250th top-rated institutions this year.
Vice Chancellor Professor Julia Buckingham said: “This latest ranking clearly demonstrates that we’re heading in the right direction - and it’s just reward for the immense efforts we’ve all made in the past few years.
“But the journey doesn’t stop here. Our international reputation is growing by the day, and student and staff satisfaction is at an all-time high. These are the building blocks upon which we will continue to impress and inspire.”
The annual rankings follow the announcement in August that 89% of students are satisfied with their Brunel experience, helping the University to climb 30 places in the National Student Survey (NSS).
Last month, the University’s Council confirmed its commitment to a further £150 million investment into the Uxbridge campus over the next five years.
