On Thursday, thousands of students across Lancashire will receive their highly anticipated A-level and T-level results.
For university hopefuls, many will undoubtedly get their first or second choice institution.
Some students, however, may find themselves on the look out for a place at another university via clearing.
When considering which university to go, there are, of course, a whole host of factors to consider but for some, a university’s national rankings is their top priority.
We’ve taken a look at the Complete University Guide 2027 to see how our North West universities compare to one another.
Every year the Complete University Guide releases UK university and subject league tables to support prospective students in making informed decisions about their future.
The team behind thecompleteuniversityguide.co.uk has compiled university league tables for more than 25 years and since 2007, they have been freely available online.
You can take a look at how universities across the North West ranked in the 2027 guide below.
