Oxford Brookes University has broken into the top 50 in The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide for 2025.
The university, which has a campus in Swindon, has climbed 11 places from its 2024 position of 61st, securing 50th position in the annual league table.
The guide ranks 134 UK universities based on factors such as student satisfaction with teaching quality, student experience, entry standards, research quality, sustainability, and graduate prospects.
Oxford Brookes also rose two spots in the South East of England rankings, moving from ninth to seventh.
Professor Alistair Fitt, vice-chancellor of Oxford Brookes University, said: "This fantastic achievement is a reflection of the passion and dedication shown by everyone at Oxford Brookes.
"Moving up 11 places and into the top 50 of the Good University Guide demonstrates the strides we are making in delivering outstanding education, research, and student experience.
"I’m extremely proud of what we’ve accomplished together, and this recognition reinforces our commitment to fostering an environment where our students develop the skills, knowledge, and personal qualities they need to succeed."
The university offers a range of undergraduate and postgraduate study options, along with apprenticeships and continuing professional development.
Prospective students can learn more at the next undergraduate open days in October and November.
