Student Diversity

Here’s the table that provides the rankings for student diversity including the rankings for the sub-categories, which you can read about in more detail here.

Please note: we have taken the Open University out of this sub-ranking. as their HESA data on students is screwed up because of the way that people apply. There is an therefore argument that we should have taken them out of the whole thing. But rankings aren’t fair, so we’ve left them in (with a heavy heart).
