We stand in the top 5% of the world's universities in the Center for World University Rankings (CWUR) 2026. Critically, we also rank 8th in the UK for employability, a figure that reflects our applied approach, linking research to industry and practice-based teaching.

Professor Dame Karen Holford DBE FREng, Chief Executive and Vice-Chancellor comments: "Our close collaboration with industry is a real strength, and it means that students are tackling real-world challenges throughout their studies, building highly sought-after capabilities that set them apart and enable them to thrive in their careers."

We're proud of the fact that 92% of our graduates are in professional employment or further study when surveyed 15 months after completion of their course.*

The CWUR publishes the largest academic ranking of global universities, designed to help improve educational and research outcomes. Now in its 15th year, it lists the top 2000 universities out of 21,291 ranked institutions.

The National Flying Laboratory Centre (NFLC) hosted its third outreach event this month, supported by the Reach for the Sky Challenge Fund ✈️

We were delighted to welcome students from Bedford Free School for a packed day exploring careers in aviation and aerospace.

Students heard directly from our aerospace and aviation professionals, gaining insight into their career journeys and asking questions about life in the industry.

The day also included a behind-the-scenes tour of our facilities, including the NFLC and Boeing 737, followed by a hands-on workshop with Dr Yicheng Sun, where students designed and tested their own paper aeroplanes.
