The University of East Anglia (UEA) has risen six places in a national league table, weeks after it landed its highest spot to date.

The university was placed 18th in the Guardian University Guide 2018, a jump of six places on last year.

It comes after UEA climbed to 12th place in the Complete University Guide at the end of April.

Vice-chancellor professor David Richardson said: 'I am delighted see that our dedication to improving and supporting all aspects of the university, from top-class research to an excellent student experience, has been recognised yet again in this important national league table.

'I am exceedingly proud of all UEA colleagues, students and the Students' Union for all they do year on year to make UEA such a successful university.'

Six of the UEA's subjects feature in their respective top ten, including American Studies in second, and Accounting and Finance in sixth.
