Lancaster University has been ranked as the 10th best university in the country and the best in the North West by the Complete University Guide.

The Complete University Guide is compiled independently and revised each year to help prospective students to find the right university for them.

As well as overall rankings, league tables are created for individual subjects, with Edge Hill University ranking 8th nationally for Health Studies, 9th for Social Work as well as 10th for Paramedic Science.

Professor Amanda Chetwynd, chair of the Complete University Guide Advisory Board, said: "Congratulations to Lancaster University for achieving a top position in this year’s Complete University Guide regional rankings. The rankings show just how high the standards are among the North West top universities."
