Prestigious league tables confirm Durham University’s position as leading UK university

Durham University has confirmed its place as a leading university in three major UK higher education league tables. The University was ranked fifth in The Times Good University Guide 2013 which is based on a number of criteria including student satisfaction, research quality, entry standards and graduate prospects. Durham is also ranked third in the country in the prestigious Sunday Times University Guide 2012 and fifth in The Complete University Guide 2013. Across all three league tables Durham is the third-highest broad-subject university behind Oxford and Cambridge. In each of the three guides the University is the highest ranked University outside of the "Golden Triangle" of Oxford, Cambridge and London institutions*. The Times Good University Guide also ranked Durham in the top 10 UK universities most targeted by key employers. Durham is already ranked among the world's top 100 universities and is in the top 15 globally for employer reputation when it comes to the quality of, and demand for, its graduates.
