THE University of Southampton has been ranked second in the South East in this year's good university guide.

The city's Russell Group university is second to Oxford in the region, according to The Times and The Sunday Times Good University Guide 2023.

It was ranked based on national ranking, student experience, teaching quality, graduate prospects, and completion rate.

The University of Southampton is ranked 16th in Britain this year. It has a 93.3 per cent completion rate, with 80.7 per cent of graduates in professional jobs or graduate-level study.

Student satisfaction on the quality of teaching is rated at 75.4 per cent, and student experience at 74.1 per cent, in student surveys.

In first place was Oxford, with a 99 per cent completion rate and 91.6 per cent graduate prospects rate.

The guide puts the University of Oxford in first place nationally too.

This is for the first time in 12 years, after the global recognition of its work on the Covid vaccine.
