RUSSELL GROUP: THE UK’S SELECT GROUP OF ELITE RESEARCH UNIVERSITIES
lThe Russell Group of Universities is a consortium of leading British universities with significant post-graduate research programmes and who attract substantial funding in order to further the research that they undertake. They are the leading research-intensive universities in the United Kingdom, composed of some of the oldest and most prestigious universities from England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. The Russell Group Universities are internationally acclaimed and work closely together with their peers from other countries, including the leading Canadian, American and Irish universities (see Old Four & U15, Ivy League, Ivy Plus, and Innovation Alliance respectively).
ABOUT
The group takes its name from the Hotel Russell (now the Fitzroy Kimpton) on Russell Square where its’ inaugural meeting took place in 1994. Membership of the group is subject to acceptance by vote of the other members and is limited to full universities engaged in extensive research activities. Initially, the grouping comprised 17 members, expanding to 24 in recent years with the dissolution of the 1994 Group (a similar body representing other great universities that were not, at that time, as research-intensive). The founding members included: Birmingham; Bristol; Cambridge; Edinburgh; Glasgow; Imperial; Leeds; Liverpool; LSE; Manchester; Newcastle; Nottingham; Oxford; Sheffield; Southampton; UCL; and Warwick. In 1998 Cardiff and KCL joined the group. QUB joined in 2006 and in 2012, prior to the dissolution of the 1994 group, Durham, Exeter, Queen Mary and York became members.
Notwithstanding that the Russell Group is fundamentally an alliance of research intensive universities, it has come to be regarded as being composed of the most prestigious universities in the United Kingdom with each member being a fully fledged university of world class standing. Indeed, many would argue that the Russell Group has become the UK equivalent of the Ivy League.
The group’s secretariat acts as a representative voice for it’s members, lobbying at government and international level and facilitating in the coordination of research and grant-funding projects. The Russell Group universities are repeatedly ranked amongst the top universities in the world, operating highly-selective admissions policies and putting out significant quantities of research and scientific material.
