Nottingham remains in top 150 of the world's universities

The University of Nottingham features among the best in the world in the latest Times Higher Education World University Rankings — the definitive list of the top 1,000 universities from 77 countries. The league table, published today (5 September 2017) shows that Nottingham has maintained its position of 147th place, appearing among the world's elite institutions. Nottingham also climbs one place to 21st in the UK, moving up a rank from 22nd last year. Nottingham's consistent result is a reflection of the ground-breaking research, student and academic talent, and world-class teaching it continues to deliver. This achievement also comes amid a climate of uncertainty from the risk Brexit may pose to the global performance of the UK's leading universities and challenges European institutions are facing from Asia. Even though the US continues to dominate the rankings, Chinese universities are rapidly climbing year-on-year. The University of Nottingham's Registrar Dr Paul Greatrix said: "Once again, the THE World University Rankings recognises Nottingham as one of the UK —and indeed the world's — top performing universities.
