The Vice-Chancellor Professor Brian Cantor said: "This is a superb outcome which reflects great credit on the commitment of our dedicated staff and the quality of the education that we provide. The University is less than 50 years old, and we have been in the THE-QS world top 100 for several years running. To achieve this level of world recognition in such a short time is exceptional."
