Every year the Complete University Guide releases UK university and subject league tables to support prospective students in making informed decisions about their future. This year’s rankings include 130 universities across the UK.

The main league table is based on ten measures including categories such as; entry standards, student satisfaction, research quality, research intensity, graduate prospects, student-staff ratio, spending on academic services and student facilities.

Professor Claire Leitch, Executive Dean of Lancaster University Management School, said: “It is fantastic to see today’s rankings recognise the incredible quality of our teaching at LUMS, which reflects the dedication of our staff who go above and beyond to give our students the first-class education and experience they deserve.”

Lancaster University Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Education, Professor Wendy Robinson, said: “From our diverse international teaching staff and research-intensive culture to our wonderful library and vibrant campus, Lancaster University is a truly excellent University which is constantly seeking to improve our students' experience of teaching, learning and personal development. Our students are at the heart of our decision-making and we know they will join us in our pride in seeing our University in the top ten in the UK.”

LUMS is ranked 10th in the UK and 54th in Europe in the Financial Times European Business Schools rankings 2022.
