The University of Hull has been named in the world’s top 100 in the Times Higher Education (THE) Impact Rankings.
These are global rankings based on the United Nations’ (UN) 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
With remarkable successes in a number of impact categories including peace and justice, inequalities, partnerships, life below water, the 2022 ranking shows the University of Hull is taking action taken towards the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.
These goals are an urgent call for action for countries to work in partnership, to address global challenges, to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all.
With a record number of over 1400 universities from around the globe taking part in this year’s rankings, the University of Hull achieved joint 81st ranking overall and impressive results in the goals/categories focused on partnerships, life below water, peace and social justice, and reduced inequalities.
Professor Susan Lea, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Hull, said: “We are just delighted to be ranked in the THE top 100 for Impact based on the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
“The University of Hull’s Strategy 2030 puts social justice and environmental sustainability at the heart of what we do, reflecting our long contribution to these global issues and our excellence in research, education and community engagement.
“As we address some of the toughest challenges facing society, our colleagues are making a difference – from health inequalities to sustainable business practices, and from coastal erosion to modern-day slavery.
“Importantly, this latest success follows a series of ranking successes achieved last year when the University continued its upward trajectory in the Times and the Guardian league tables.
“This achievement reflects the hard work, passion and commitment of our staff and students, as well as the strength of our partnerships in serving our region and beyond.”
