The University of East Anglia (UEA) has been ranked 17th in the UK by the Guardian University Guide - the most widely read university ranking - which ranks 119 universities in a range of categories including teaching, student-staff ratios, entry tariffs and career prospects. The result is the latest league table success for UEA, which was revealed as the number one university for student experience in the Times Higher Education Student Experience Survey 2013, and ranked in the world top 100 for research excellence by the CWTS Leiden Ranking 2013.

Prof Edward Acton, Vice-Chancellor of UEA, said: “Our consistently strong performance in league tables in this, our 50th anniversary year, is testament to our commitment to improving and supporting all aspects of the university, from top-class research and academics to a student experience that is second to none. “I am extremely proud of all UEA staff, students and the students’ union for all they do to make UEA such a splendid place to live, work and study.”
