2024 Facebook University Ranking

Introduction

What are the most popular UK Universities on Facebook? uniRank answers this question by publishing the 2024 Facebook University Ranking of all UK higher-education institutions on Facebook meeting the following uniRank selection criteria:

  • being chartered, licensed or accredited by the appropriate UK higher education-related organization in each country
  • offering at least three-year bachelor's degrees or postgraduate master's or doctoral degrees
  • delivering courses predominantly in a traditional, non-distance education format

The aim of the uniRank Facebook University Ranking is to offer an approximate popularity index for each UK university on the Facebook social media platform, based on the total number of followers. Read also our article about the importance of Social Media for Universities and prospective students.
