In the top 15 in all United Kingdom league tables, and the Times and Sunday Times International University of the Year in 2020, Lancaster University has established itself as a world player in research and teaching. Students from one hundred countries make up a thriving community based on a beautiful parkland campus.
Lancaster has several partnerships across the world to ensure it delivers teaching that takes students to the frontiers of knowledge and produces graduates who can compete in a global job market. There are four strategic global partnerships offering Lancaster degrees in China, Germany, Ghana and Malaysia and the vision for all our strategic partnerships is to offer a full university experience across teaching, research and engagement.
