What is the Russell Group?
The Russell Group is a collective of 24 research-intensive UK universities that share a commitment to excellence in teaching, learning, and research. Originally founded in 1994, the group includes some of the world's top universities, such as Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial College London, and UCL.
What is the purpose of the Russell Group?
The Russell Group universities receive two-thirds of all UK research grants, helping them make a significant impact on intellectual, cultural, and economic factors within the UK. These institutions produce world-leading research across a range of disciplines, and their contributions play a key role in the UK's economy and global standing.
Students at these universities benefit from exceptional employability, high student satisfaction rates, and outstanding faculty-to-student ratios.
