Harper Adams is the best university in Britain, according to new rankings

A huge survey of British students has sensationally branded Harper Adams the best university in Britain.

The award, handed to us by Whatuni.com, saw Harper Adams rated 4.73 out of 5, and ranked 49 places above Oxford, and 38 above RAC Cirencester.

Over 25,000 students were asked to complete surveys on their opinion of their uni within ten categories, including job prospects, student support and accommodation.
