Izzy SchifanoThe Uni of Birmingham has been ranked as the 21st best in the UK and 101 in the world in new university sustainability rankings.
The new QS World University Rankings for Sustainability rank 700 universities around the world, measuring how different unis are able “to tackle the world’s greatest environmental, social and governance challenges”.
The overall score is split into environmental sustainability measures (including sustainable institutions, sustainable education and sustainable research), as well as social impact measures (these include equality, knowledge exchange, educational impact, employability and opportunities, and quality of life).
Birmingham was given an overall world impact ranking of 101, with an environmental impact rank of 176 and social impact rank of 50.
The best university in the country was found to be Edinburgh, which also came fourth overall. Scotland’s apparently the place to be, as Glasgow was second in the UK – and then Oxford, Newcastle, and Cambridge rounded out the top five. Aston University came above 600 in the ranking, awks.
Earlier this month, Times Higher Education World University Rankings placed Birmingham as the 12th best uni in the UK, and 108th in the world. The uni league table ranks almost 1,800 unis across over 100 countries around the globe.
