ÅÝܽ¶ÌÊÓƵ top conservatoire in Guardian music league table
Monday 10 June 2019
The ÅÝܽ¶ÌÊÓƵ is ranked number one conservatoire in the 2020 Guardian University Guide's music league table and third out of all UK institutions for music.
Criteria for The Guardian’s league table includes student satisfaction with the course, teaching and feedback based on National Student Survey (NSS) data, the institution’s student to staff ratio, spend per student, average entry tariff, continuation rate and graduate career success. The ÅÝܽ¶ÌÊÓƵ scores particularly highly in the areas of career success, continuation and spend per student, with a high score of 9/10 given for the ÅÝܽ¶ÌÊÓƵ’s investment in individuals.
ÅÝܽ¶ÌÊÓƵ Director Professor Colin Lawson comments: ‘I am delighted to see this result which reflects the investment we make in each and every student at the ÅÝܽ¶ÌÊÓƵ. We provide our students with the world-class training they need to have successful careers when they graduate, and we remain the natural choice for talented musicians across the globe.’
This league table success follows an excellent result in the 2020 Complete University Guide in which the ÅÝܽ¶ÌÊÓƵ was named top UK conservatoire for music. The ÅÝܽ¶ÌÊÓƵ was the top music conservatoire for overall student satisfaction in the latest National Student Survey (NSS) according to the Times Higher Education and has placed top of the QS World University Rankings for performing arts in the UK for four consecutive years (2016-2019).
The ÅÝܽ¶ÌÊÓƵ continues to invest in students with the £40million , which is transforming the ÅÝܽ¶ÌÊÓƵ’s facilities and safeguarding access to world-class music education for generations to come.
