What are Russell Group Universities?

About

Russell Group of Institutions consists of 24 universities. All these universities share common focus to perform excellent research and thereby, achieve academic superiority. 

Discussing effect of studying in Russell Group Institutions, Gill Sharp says, “By branding together, Russell Group universities are able to put more funding contracts, grants and awards their way. Why does that matter to you? Because success breeds success. With more money to invest in research and other projects, the knock-on effect is that these unis are better equipped to attract the top staff and students, which then further cements their academic prestige.”
