'Standout' university named best in Wales

The Daily Mail league table ranked 128 UK universities across 12 performance indicators ranging from student satisfaction with teaching quality to social inclusion.

In the latest rankings, Aberystwyth University performed particularly strongly for the quality of its teaching, student support and the wider student experience - reaching the top 12 in the UK on all three performance measures.

The university rose eight places to 74th in this year’s rankings, with judges citing the School of Veterinary Science - the only one in Wales - as a key differentiator.

Aberystwyth was rated top university in Wales for student satisfaction in the latest edition of the National Student Survey, for the 10th year in a row.

It was also rated top in England and Wales for student experience in The Times/Sunday Times’ Good University Guide 2025.
