Loughborough University has been ranked seventh out of 131 UK universities in The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2018.

This was the university's highest ever ranking and puts the institution in the top 10 of every national university league table, as well as top in the region.

Commenting on the ranking, vice-chancellor, professor Robert Allison, said: "This achievement is testament to the incredible work of my colleagues across the university, who work tirelessly to ensure that what we offer our students is the very best, in all aspects of their university life."

The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide ranks universities on indicators such as teaching quality, student satisfaction and research quality among others.

Loughborough was also the runner up for the main University of the Year award, but has made the shortlist more than any other institution.
