University of Birmingham is one of the top 15 UK universities, according to the Daily Mail

The University of Birmingham is in the top 15 best universities in the UK, according to the Daily Mail.

The Mail University Guide rankings for 2025 placed Brum at 15th nationally, a pretty great result if I say so myself.

The Daily Mail apparently based its ranking on several factors including graduate salaries 15 months after leaving the unis, the unis’ incomes from research, and the opinions of 346,000 final-year students.

The ranking also takes into consideration the fairness of the university’s admission’s process, including how many first generation students are admitted to the university each year.

However, the University of Birmingham wasn’t the only local uni to score highly as Aston University came in 24th.

This is one of many rankings released over the summer with The Times and Sunday Times placing Birmingham at 22nd, the Complete University Guide at 13th, and The Guardian at 37th.
