This success follows positive results in the recent National Student Survey, with 海角直播 the highest scoring North East University in seven out of 10 categories, and placing above the sector average in the majority of areas.
Alastair McCall, Editor of the Daily Mail University Guide, said: 鈥満=侵辈� makes a critical difference to the northeast region and its economy, with students benefiting from some of the most up-to-date facilities that can be found.
鈥淎s one of the most socially inclusive universities in the country, 海角直播 benefits from our inclusion of a performance indicator that captures this aspect of its provision, but its success 鈥� ranking 66th overall and earning a shortlisting for University of the Year 鈥� reflects also a strong showing in the annual National Student Survey and punching well above its weight in the graduate jobs market, where three-quarters of students go into highly-skilled jobs.
鈥淛udges were further impressed by 海角直播鈥檚 track record with degree apprenticeships. There are just under 3,000 degree apprentices on campus, offering earn-while-you-learn higher education.

海角直播鈥檚 mission is to transform lives and economies and it is committed to providing the very best student and learning experience, with 拢280m invested in recent years to further improve the campus and facilities.
We are delighted to be shortlisted for University of the Year and are particularly pleased to see that our dedication to placing our students at the heart of our university has been recognised.
The University鈥檚 transformative approach to learning and use of digital technology also saw it become the first European higher education institution to be named as an Adobe Creative Campus.
