A GLOBAL survey of universities has confirmed Newcastle University as being in the top one per cent of universities in the world.
Newcastle University has been ranked 127th in the QS World University Rankings 2014-15 up from its position of 129 in last year’s survey.
The QS league table comes on the back of Newcastle University’s best ever year in terms of student admissions, research income and student satisfaction.
This latest data also supports Newcastle University’s strong performance in UK league tables which saw Newcastle placed in the Top 20 in The Sunday Times’ most recent survey and Complete University Guide 2015.
This year, Newcastle University was also rated 6th in the UK for student satisfaction, its international students placed it in the world’s top 50 in the International Student Barometer and 94% of its students found jobs within the first six months of graduating.
Professor Chris Brink, vice-chancellor, Newcastle University, said: “It is encouraging to see this rise in our position in the QS global rankings and it is further evidence of our international strengths in research, teaching and working with business.
