Loughborough retains 5th place in 2020 Times Higher Education ‘Table of Tables’

Loughborough has retained its 5th place ranking in the latest Times Higher Education (THE) ‘Table of Tables’, released today (30th October).

The 2020 ‘Table of Tables’ ranks the UK’s top 30 universities based on the combined results of the three main domestic university league tables – the Times and Sunday Times Good University GuideThe Guardian University Guide, and the Complete University Guide – to provide a snapshot of how universities are viewed by national newspapers.

Loughborough is in the top ten of every national university league table, as well as being ranked first in the Midlands.

Speaking about Loughborough’s performance in the 2020 ‘Table of Tables’, the University’s Vice-Chancellor, Professor Robert Allison, said: “Our 5th place ranking in the ‘Table of Tables’ underlines our position as one of the country’s very best universities.

“Our continued success in the league tables is due to the hard work and dedication of staff and students across our campuses in Loughborough and London, as well as the Students’ Union. I am incredibly proud of what we have achieved.”
