Facts and figures

Our facts and figures speak for themselves. We are the largest single-site university in the UK, with almost two-thirds of our research ranked by the last Research Assessment Exercise as world-leading or internationally excellent.

Twenty-five Nobel Prize winners have worked or studied here. And more than nine out of ten of our graduates go straight into employment or continued studies.

We are ranked 40th in the world, seventh in Europe and fifth in the UK in the 2012 Shanghai Jiao Tong World Ranking.

What's more, we are well underway with the biggest investment in facilities undertaken by any UK university, with £600 million spent so far and a further £1 billion to follow by 2022.
