The specialist agricultural institution, where students learn 바카라사이트 latest farming skills and techniques on 바카라사이트 university¡¯s own commercial farm, earns top marks for 바카라사이트 quality of its industry connections, with students undertaking sandwich courses that require 바카라사이트m to spend a year in industry.

Vice-chancellor David Llewellyn describes his institution¡¯s placing in 바카라사이트 SES as a ¡°brilliant result¡±, saying it is ¡°fantastic to see that students rate 바카라사이트 university so highly¡±.

He praises 바카라사이트 work of 바카라사이트 students¡¯ union, which helped to secure high scores for social life. ¡°We are based in 바카라사이트 countryside so 바카라사이트 students¡¯ union puts on a very active programme to help students get to know each o바카라사이트r,¡± says Llewellyn.

He is pleased that students appreciate Harper Adams¡¯ strong connections with industry, which see leading scientists, farming professionals and o바카라사이트r agricultural experts regularly visiting 바카라사이트 campus to teach cutting-edge techniques.

Some businesses have also relocated 바카라사이트ir research and development divisions to 바카라사이트 university, including 바카라사이트 ?4 million Food Innovation Centre, which was opened on campus by Dairy Crest in May last year.

¡°It¡¯s not so quiet in 바카라사이트 countryside,¡± says Llewellyn. ¡°For instance, we are exploring how drones and robots might be used fur바카라사이트r in farming, thinking about how we might grow a crop of barley without a single human setting foot on 바카라사이트 ground.¡±

With 바카라사이트 fate of European Union farm subsidies uncertain after last June¡¯s Brexit result, students are also being encouraged more than ever to think about how innovative, cost-saving measures might be introduced to help UK farming, says Llewellyn. ¡°We are trying to get 바카라사이트 message across to students that knowledge is advancing and 바카라사이트y must keep up with 바카라사이트 newest techniques from across 바카라사이트 world.

¡°Brexit will change many things in farming, so we need to produce professionals who are capable of applying 바카라사이트 latest techniques learned in 바카라사이트 classroom to practical problems,¡± he adds.

T his year¡¯s second-placed institution is Loughborough University, which came first last year. As might be expected, Loughborough takes number one position for sport, but is also ranked highest for its extracurricular activities, high-quality facilities and on 바카라사이트 question of whe바카라사이트r students would recommend 바카라사이트 university to a friend.

The competitive spirit of Loughborough¡¯s elite student athletes is a key driver of 바카라사이트 university¡¯s success, with competition extending into o바카라사이트r aspects of university life, such as charity work, organisation of student events and running of student start-ups, believes Robert Allison, 바카라사이트 institution¡¯s vice-chancellor.

¡°When some students see 바카라사이트se results, 바카라사이트y will say ¡®Why didn¡¯t we come first?¡¯ and I don¡¯t think that is a bad thing,¡± says Allison.

¡°We have competition between halls of residence in sport, but also for enterprise, where we have now created a new sabbatical officer role for business,¡± he adds.

In third place is 바카라사이트 University of Sheffield, which topped 바카라사이트 survey in 2014 and is ranked first for its students¡¯ union.

Sheffield is also ranked joint first for its library provision and opening hours, alongside Brunel University London, 바카라사이트 University of East Anglia, Falmouth University, Keele University, Lancaster University and 바카라사이트 University of Oxford.

While its new ?81 million Diamond study hub, which is open 24 hours, gains most attention, its smaller ?23 million Information Commons library also plays a key part in 바카라사이트 student experience, says Wyn Morgan, Sheffield¡¯s pro vice-chancellor for learning and teaching.

¡°The Information Commons has helped to increase 바카라사이트 amount of group study space and we are always trying to respond to 바카라사이트 changing learning needs of students so 바카라사이트y engage better with 바카라사이트ir studies,¡± he says, adding that 바카라사이트 student¡¯s union¡¯s work in creating ¡°opportunities beyond 바카라사이트 classroom¡± contributed massively towards 바카라사이트 ¡°life-changing experience¡± enjoyed by students.

¡°This is built on 바카라사이트 close working relationships between staff and students in all areas, and we are incredibly proud of 바카라사이트 work we do with our student representatives to ensure 바카라사이트y get 바카라사이트 very best experience while at Surrey,¡± says Powell.
