LANCASTER UNIVERSITY
Overall Rating

Reputation is subjective. One person might think a university is prestigious/has a good reputation whilst another hasn't heard of it. But Lancaster is certainly a good university. I wouldn't place too much faith in league tables given their flaws. Certainly don't think that because Lancaster has risen into the top ten it has experienced some huge improvement in the past year or two. It's a member of the 1994 Group (a group of smaller research intensive universities - similar to the Russell Group which is a collection of larger research intensive universities). Although there are plenty of good universities outside both groups they do provide a decent guideline to which are amongst the strongest universities in the country. I touched upon the difficulty of comparing universities above, especially universities of such different sizes, but the vast majority of Russell Group and 1994 Group universities are of a comparable standard. They are all capable of offering a good education with good research quality and teaching standards across the the faculties but all still have one or two mediocore departments as well.
