Keele has climbed in three prestigious national university league tables, to now rank firmly in the top 50 in each. 

The university now ranks 43rd in the UK in the Guardian, Times and Sunday Times, and Mail university guides, which have all been recently published. 

Furthermore, 14 different subjects at Keele also rank in the top 10 in England across the different league tables.

Professor Mark Ormerod OBE, deputy vice-chancellor and provost of Keele University, said: "I'm delighted to see how strongly Keele has performed across the three recently published Times, Guardian, and Mail university league tables, with Keele's strong rise in all three rankings highlighting the strengths and quality of the University across a wide range of important metrics and the positive difference we make to our students' learning and future opportunities.    

"Not only have we recorded a strong, and very significantly improved, overall performance in all three league tables, but I'm particularly pleased that many of our subject areas are also ranked highly, with many subjects across all three of our Faculties ranked within the Top 10 in England, and No.1 in the West Midlands in many cases."

The subjects now ranked in the top 10 in England are: Forensic Science, International Relations, Physiotherapy, Midwifery, English, Medicine, Mathematics, Geography, Pharmacy, Politics, Radiography, Creative Writing, Nursing and Children's Nursing.

All three of these league tables assess universities on a range of factors including research quality, graduate prospects, and teaching excellence. 

Professor Ormerod added: "This outcome is very encouraging and reflects the sustained effort from colleagues across the University to support our students and further enhance the quality of our teaching and student experience and strengthen our outcomes."
