How were the top 20 universities for clubs and societies decided?#

To calculate this league table, we analysed 31,564 authentic student reviews written on StudentCrowd between June 2022 and June 2024. When students review their university, they give it a rating out of 5 stars for ‘Clubs and Societies’. We used this rating across all universities in the UK to showcase the BEST 20 according to students. 

The StudentCrowd Awards 2024 is the only university ranking based 100% on verified students in the UK, using their ac.uk email address. This includes international students who attend UK universities.
