It's official: The University of Southampton is one of the top 10 universities for disabled students.
The Best Universities in the UK article which featured in the Times on the 18th June 2008, included a link to The Times Good University Guide 2009. This guide asks students and parents to create their own individual university rankings according to one of eight criteria - from student satisfaction to research quality and degree results. The Universities are then ranked on their strengths and weaknesses to produce a league . As part of the feature, the article provided additional facts and figures on a range of issues including which universities are top for disabled students. These figures, which are based on HESA data, ranked the University of Southampton in 9th.
