A new study just published the perceived LGBTQ+ friendliness of UK universities (0-10 scale). Brighton leads at 8.7; Dundee is lowest at 5.2.
There’s also an interactive map and scatter plot visualisation breaking down the national distribution – lots of interesting demographic patterns, especially around expectations at elite universities.
Data from Erobella (Nov 2025), sample size = 2,000 UK students (18-24).
Would love to see someone in this sub map it differently or compare it to previous years if anyone has historical datasets.

I saw your first graph, and the outlier at number 1, and immediately said, ‘Brighton’.
2000 students over 79 universities is only 25 students per university. You also don’t say if that is LGBTQ+ students themselves or just generic students (who will obviously have different viewpoints).
Except for extreme outliners, I don’t think you have the sample size to actually separate your range here – which is to say most UK universities are equally inclusive, which is what you’d expect. Everything else is just statistical noise and overlapping error bars.
