Lancaster University

The Lancaster University Management School has always been top notch according to the Complete University Guide’s Business league table, having never left the top 10 since the guide’s inception. High scores across the board and a formidable reputation in the UK university scene, a business education here seems a no-brainer. If you’re seeking regular scenic breaks from academic life, Lancaster is a good choice; merely a stone’s throw from Morecambe Bay and the Forest of Bowland, and a short drive from the Lake District – you’ll be spoilt for choice.
