How it scores
Research and Alumni outcomes are percentiles among 3,144 universities; alumni outcomes are counted per student. Admissions & earnings is the position among universities in the same country (United Kingdom).
Note: It is outside the Leiden data: its research was measured from OpenAlex and calibrated to the Leiden scale (Amendment 18.3), then shrunk toward the median of small universities before scoring.

Research
This university isn’t in the CWTS Leiden Ranking Open Edition, which covers universities with about 1,500 or more publications in 2020–23, so it has no Research Index rank. Its research was measured from OpenAlex instead and put on the Leiden scale (method Amendment 18.3).
- Articles and reviews, 2020–23 (OpenAlex, counted 27–28 Oct 2026, full count)
- 502
- Of these, in the top 10% of their field
- 178 (35.5%)
- Of these, in the top 1% of their field
- 22 (4.4%)
- Top-10% share on the Leiden scale
- 14.6%
- Top-1% share on the Leiden scale
- 1.3%
OpenAlex counts every article and review with an author from the university or its units. Its top-10% and top-1% flags run higher than Leiden’s, so the shares are converted with a fit on 400 universities in both sources, then pulled toward the median of small universities before scoring, as for small universities in the Leiden data.
How other rankings place it
Other rankings are cited for comparison. The Research Index measures research only; QS and THE also use reputation surveys and figures universities submit, and ARWU counts prize winners and total output.
