What is the Russell Group?
The Russell Group is a collective of 24 research-intensive UK universities who have a shared commitment and focus to research and outstanding teaching and learning experiences. The Russell Group was originally founded in 1994 and four of the top ten universities in the world – Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial and UCL – are Russell Group members.
What is the purpose of the Russell Group?
Between them, Russell Group universities receive two-thirds of all research grants, allowing them to make a huge contribution to intellectual, cultural and economic factors in the UK. As a result of this, the very best students and academics are attracted to study at Russell Group institutions. By producing world-leading research across a range of topics and disciplines, Russell Group universities play a major role in the UK and the health of its economy.
From a students perspective, there are better employability and student satisfaction rates, as well there being a higher staff to student ratio.
