The University of East London (UEL) has made an impressive leap in this year’s Guardian University Guide, rising 40 places to secure the 56th position. This remarkable improvement is the highest of any UK university, highlighting UEL’s growing reputation and success in higher education. Additionally, UEL achieved a top 10 ranking (9th) in London, reinforcing its strong presence in the capital.
This significant jump is the direct result of UEL’s transformative Vision 2028 strategy, which focuses on improving teaching quality, student support, and overall student satisfaction. UEL now ranks in the top 30 nationally for three key metrics: Satisfied with Assessment, Satisfied with Teaching, and Value Added. These results reflect the university’s ongoing commitment to providing a high-quality academic experience.
UEL’s success doesn’t end there, in the 2024 National Study Survey, students rated their experience 1st in London, 1st in England, and 3rd in the UK. This success highlights the dedication of UEL staff and their continuous efforts to improve the student journey, helping students thrive both academically and personally.
UEL’s impressive rise in the Guardian rankings is part of its broader strategy to foster innovation, inclusivity, and sustainability. With initiatives like the Connected Campus and the Royal Docks Centre for Sustainability, UEL is shaping a brighter future for its students and the wider community. This achievement marks a key milestone in UEL’s mission to transform lives and careers, while making a meaningful impact locally and globally.
