🌟 Landmark moment for the UEL community 🌟

The University of East London has recorded the biggest rise of any UK university in The Times and The Sunday Times Good University Guide 2027, climbing an unprecedented 56 places!

UEL now ranks number one among London’s full-range modern universities and 58th nationally.

This transformation reflects our commitment to a careers-first education through our Practice Makes Professional Curriculum and UEL Careers Guarantee.

What this progress looks like in numbers:

• Graduate Outcomes: Fastest-rising university in England for positive graduate outcomes

• Student Experience: number one in England for graduating students' positivity (NSS 2026).

• Enterprise: number two in the UK for active graduate start-ups.

• Student Support: Named University of the Year for Student Support (Daily Mail 2027).

• Value Added: number one nationally for value added (The Guardian 2027).

"Opening the door to higher education is only the beginning," says Vice-Chancellor & President Prof. Amanda Broderick. "The real measure of a university is how far it enables every student to travel."
