Latest ranking of English universities based on their contribution to social mobility. University of Bradford, Aston University and the University of Wolverhampton take the top three places.
"English Social Mobility Index", compiled by London South Bank University (LSBU) and published by the Higher Education Policy Institute (HEPI), shows the number of socio-economically disadvantaged graduates AND the social distance they travel for each registered #higherEd institution in England.
Nicholas Hillman OBE, director of HEPI, said: "At a time when there is a lot of criticism of universities, it is important to be reminded of the critical work they do transforming lives." #highered#academicsky
"The diversity of institutions in this year’s top 10 suggests the Index measures something valuable that institutions of all types can do well at, if they choose to adopt a dedicated focus."
