York is the 20th best university in the UK, says new rankings

No biggie


York is the 20th best university in the UK says new rankings released today from the Sunday Times.

We’ve slid three places since last year when we ranked 17th – but at least we rate highly for student satisfaction, at 4.14 out of a possible 5.

Our research quality also ranked highly, as did honours, with over 80 per cent of us expected to graduate with a 2.2 or 2.1.

We performed best in Archeology, Chemistry, and languages, with French and Italian among our best degrees. Humanities also did well, with History and English ranked in the top 10.
