  • Date lodged: Wednesday, 09 September 2020
  • Motion reference: S5M-22679

That the Parliament welcomes The Guardian University Guide 2021 which has ranked the University of Strathclyde 15th in the UK; understands this is a climb of 36 places from last year’s ranking and comes after it was named UK University of the Year in the Times Higher Education Awards 2019, the Sunday Times’ Scottish University of the Year 2020 and awarded a Queen’s Anniversary Prize for Higher and Further Education in 2019; notes that this latest guide's league table considers factors such as student satisfaction with courses, teaching and feedback; student to staff ratio, average entry tariff, career prospects and continuation rates; acknowledges that it scored 86.3% for course satisfaction and 86% for both satisfaction with teaching and career prospects, and congratulates all of its staff and students on this recognition of their commitment to deliver outstanding outcomes.
