The Russel Group is an association of 24 public universities in the UK that are prominent in the education sector. The influence of Russell Group universities extends significantly on a local, national, and global scale, leaving profound social, economic, and cultural impacts.
If we look at the background, the Russell group was formed in 1994, with 17 universities in a meeting arranged in the Hotel Russell in London. Later, more universities joined the group and they became famous as the Russell group, owing to the hotel’s name.
