Lancaster University beats big city rivals

Lancaster University has been named as the best university in North West England by a prestigious university survey. The Sunday Times University Guide 2007 ranked the university above its rivals Manchester, Liverpool and the University of Central Lancashire. Nationally it ranked 18th, breaking back into the top 20 after a 5 year absence.

Lancaster University Vice-Chancellor Professor Paul Wellings said, ‘We are delighted to have this vote of confidence from students, peers and head teachers which has combined with our sound research and teaching record to prove what we at Lancaster already know, that Lancaster University is an outstanding, friendly collegiate community which students love with an academic reputation that rivals its bigger competitors.’
