Founded in 1948, with a history stretching back to 1881, we have 140 years of heritage and success to be proud of, and to build on. We are 103 in the world (18 in the UK) out of more than 1,000 universities in the QS World University Rankings 2022, our pioneering spirit has seen us lead the way in establishing campuses in Malaysia (2000) and China (2004), to form a globally connected network of education, research and industrial engagement.

We have over 290,000 alumni in 195 countries, many of whom hold positions of influence all over the world and make significant contributions. We raised £242 million through the Impact Campaign, our most ambitious fundraising campaign ever. This campaign transformed lives in breast cancer; children’s brain tumour and dementia research; and supported disadvantaged communities, funded scholarships for talented students and supported volunteering projects.
Continual investment in a world-class estate both in the UK and Asia, delivers award-winning campuses, building and facilities which are unrivalled in providing inspiring places and places for our staff and students to research, teach and study. To keep pace with our staff and student expectations, we’ve embarked on our biggest transformation project yet, our Digital Futures, which will transform the way in which we connect, communicate, engage and collaborate – to create the digital university of the future.
