The Complete University Guide ranks 130 UK higher education institutions based on factors including student satisfaction, research quality and intensity, graduate employment prospects and spending on academic services and student facilities.

The guide’s publisher said there had been significant changes within the league table as new centres of excellence competed for positions of greatness within league table. Harper Adams has climbed to position 29 and retained the highest modern university ranking.

Vice-Chancellor of Harper Adams University, Professor Ken Sloan, said: “This is another great result. It continues our run as the highest-rated modern university, and rising once again in the rankings is a testament to the hard work and commitment of our students, employees and partners.

“Our students go on to key roles across a diverse range of agri-food, veterinary and related organisations. We’ll continue working to produce both cutting-edge, impactful research, and highly-skilled graduates to help meet the global challenges our industries – and our planet and its population – face.”
