拉夫堡大学(Loughborough University)at #1:
最好的大学的学生的经验
“The academic experience and the overall student experience have benefited my personal development hugely. I have access to fantastic facilities, all within walking distance on campus. I’ve been able to complete part of my studies abroad, in cooperation with TU Delft, and I’ve been able to gain work experience with Adidas at their HQ in Germany.”
——Tim Jackson,学习工业设计和技术三年级的学生
“Loughborough has provided me with high quality lectures and amazing facilities and I have a great social life here. The university’s great at integrating every student into university life. I wouldn't change anything.”
——Nikki Ramos-Clarkson,学习传播与媒体研究三年级的学生
哈珀亚当斯大学学院(Harper Adams)at #2:
新加入排名
“As a career-changing mature student, picking the right university with good course content, employment rates and track record was vital. Harper Adams has already excelled in providing a professional and engaging learning environment, with enthusiastic lecturers actively involved in the industry in which they teach. Highlights also include opportunities to extend skills outside the classroom, which has enabled me to gain additional experience in the field and connect with other experts.”
——Leonie Morphett,在学习野生动物保护和自然资源管理BSc学位一年级的学生
“The most important thing for me about the university experience is the chance to grow as a person, as well as academically. Harper Adams has exceeded my expectations. I was so quiet when I first started here and now I have gained confidence and am less quiet. I’m not sure I could improve anything – everyone at Harper Adams has been so accommodating, especially over the past year since I got my assistance dog, Magic.”
——Emily Shanahan,在学习农业食品市场营销与业务研究FdSc学位三年级的学生
“What matters most is that you enjoy the environment that you’re in. Harper Adams is a campus university that has everything you need, including the coffee shop, pub, farm and don’t forget the library. Lecturers all have their own speciality and they are all willing to give you time and help you out. We have all the sports and social things we need. The nightlife is great as you can get to know everyone and have a good laugh.
“There’s something nice about seeing familiar faces and not just people you’ve never met all the time. I think we could improve our sports pitches, equipment and car parking space. But if that’s all I can think of to improve then Harper Adams has definitely been the right place for me. I’d recommend it to absolutely anyone.”
——Sam Green,在学习农业食品市场营销与业务研究BSc荣誉学位四年级的学生
纽卡斯尔大学(Newcastle University)at #7:
在英格兰东北部最好的大学
“Before attending Newcastle University, I was constantly reminded that it was among the best for student experience. After three unforgettable years of studying here, I can now confidently say that this accolade is truly deserved. Great student services, a devoted world-class teaching staff and a beautiful campus are all at the heart of one of the most welcoming and dynamic cities in the UK. I couldn’t ask for more!”
——Marcus Forrester,现代语言BA honours学位
“Being in my final year of a relatively specialised degree, I can reflect thatNewcastle University has provided me with the opportunity to explore an array of different possibilities for my future, most of which I would not have been aware of without attending. This, combined with their continual dedication and commitment to improve the quality of services to students, is what makes Newcastle Universityso unique.”
——Emily Noakes,在学习食品营销和营养BSc (Hons)学位三年级的学生

“The students’ union at Keele is dedicated to enhancing the overall university experience. SU membership is free and automatic to all Keele students. The union building is visited for all sorts of reasons from wanting to have a laid-back quick lunch to needing to grab some stationary at the union shop. The team works to cater for the interests of a diverse population of students, and for that reason, the events held range from fancy dress nights to more relaxed pub quiz nights. You will also find the volunteering department at the SU as well as the jobshop, ASK centre, and the famous MUNCH restaurant.”
——Leila Assaad,药剂学二年级的学生
“Keele is a giant green bubble in the middle of Staffordshire. Being one of the largest campuses with the smallest student populations, you can never claim of being suffocated. The distinct layout means that most of the academic buildings are down one road, so chances are that on the way to your lecture you will see at least three friends going to their lectures.
“I have used the disability and dyslexia service as I have hearing loss. They allowed me to have personal evacuation plans created and a deaf alerter in my room to ensure that I felt, and was, safe on campus. They also worked my special needs into examinations, meaning that I get to go to a different room to majority of students, where it is more flexible for those who need extra time, breaks and more.”
——Hannah Watts,生物学与法医学三年级的学生
“The library is open 24/7 during term time and is so useful. There are several different types of learning areas, silent study, group study, group study rooms that you can book and single-use corrals for complete quiet and concentration. I have used all of these areas for different types of work and they have been really helpful.”
——Jessica Fulton,地球科学四年级的学生
阿斯顿大学(Aston University)at #32:
Top 40 新成员
“As a whole, the university champions the importance of theory with practical experience, both at home and abroad, which I have grown to recognise and appreciate. The exposure to such diverse contexts is invaluable for any and every student."
——Olivia D Hinds,国际业务和西班牙语最后一年的学生
“I believe that Aston has made me a more confident and independent individual. It has opened doors that I never thought were available and let me experience things I never thought I would. I have been able to try new things and make new friends as well as discover knowledge in something I am so interested in.”
——Dylan Karavadra,心理学BSc(hons) 学位一年级学生
罗伯特戈登大学(Robert Gordon University)at #38:
Top 40新成员
“I chose to study at RGU because I was looking for a university that has both a strong teaching programme and opportunities to develop industry-relevant skills to allow me to have a successful career. RGU has a good employability record and I hope it continues to ensure that all students are able to gain practical experience and enjoy being part of a vibrant and diverse university community.”
——Edward Pollock,事件管理BA (Hons)学位四年级学生
“RGU’s renowned reputation for graduate employment success was what attracted me – particularly regarding its encouragement of practical experience. While I believe that my placement and study abroad experiences have made me a stronger graduate candidate, it was the wide range of extra-curricular opportunities that RGU offers such as the chances to become a class representative, student buddy and student ambassador that are the highlights of my university experience.”
——Alex Ross,国际旅游管理BA (Hons)学位四年级学生
南安普顿索伦特大学(Southampton Solent University)at #54:
“进步最快”的大学
“There are amazing facilities at Solent, including the UK’s only university cinema using Dolby Atmos. My course also has a lot of opportunities for students as well – to work at Glastonbury, and loads of festivals. I’d like to see more interaction outside of the students’ union between students on different courses.”
——Nicola Parr,音频和声学工程BEng (Hons)学位一年级学生
“I really enjoy the open and inclusive atmosphere we have here on campus. Tutors are almost always available to chat, and all the staff I’ve met have helped me to feel supported and at ease.”
——Camelia,最近的动画BA (Hons)学位研究生
“I am in love with this course. It has a lot of practical experiences as well as placement opportunities, and I have enhanced my CV greatly thanks to the jobs and internships that I have had through Southampton Solent University.”
——Marica,最近的公共关系和传播BA (Hons)学位研究生
格拉摩根大学(University of Gloucestershire)at #62:
第二个“最有进步”的大学
“The most important things to me are regular and easy access to facilities and getting support from academic staff. The university already offers exceptional, personal support from academic and non-academic staff, and we’re able to book laboratories and specialist equipment regularly. I would like to see more opportunities for placements and professional experiences.”
——Andrew Wilhelmsen,学习体育和运动科学三年级的学生
“The thing that matters most to me is achieving good grades. Feedback is provided with all work both academic and practical, and the option is always there to speak with the marker personally as well. I want the sense of getting students ready for the 'real world' to continue and improve.”
——Richard Walker,学习电视制作二年级的学生
“Knowing that there is a good chance of employability for graduates and the ability to gain industry experience are essential for me. The placements team at the University of Gloucestershire offer the experiences and they are very supportive with graduate jobs too. I would love to see more students’ union involvement in terms of activities that are not sports.”
——Laura Blackwell,学习信息技术四年级的学生
