Ranked: Russell Group unis by student value for money – Oxford seventh, Cambridge misses top 20

Queen’s University Belfast is the highest-ranked Russell Group university for value for money in StudentCrowd’s latest rankings, with Cambridge, UCL, Manchester, Durham and several other Russell Group institutions failing to appear in the top 20 at all.

In the StudentCrowd University Awards, the top 20 universities were decided by verified student reviews and ranked by a score reflecting overall value for money, weighing up factors like teaching quality, facilities, student support and cost of living.

Only nine Russell Group universities made the top 20, with Queen’s Belfast taking third place overall. The highest-ranked university overall was Ulster University, a non-Russell Group institution, followed by Robert Gordon University in second.

Notable non-Russell Group universities that outranked several Russell Group institutions include Liverpool John Moores at fourth and the University of Aberdeen at fifth, both placing above Oxford.

Fifteen Russell Group universities did not appear in the top 20, including Cambridge, Manchester, Durham, KCL and UCL.

Here are all nine Russell Group universities that made the top 20, ranked by their position in the overall top 20. Eleven non-Russell Group universities also featured in the top 20.

1. Queen’s University Belfast – rank three, score 4.39/5
