He added: ‘This is one of three rankings this year in which Portsmouth has risen, underlining our continued high performance and growing reputation for excellence.

‘This continued success is due to the university putting the education of our students first by investing in outstanding staff and resources to support learning and teaching.’

The university has risen from 43rd in last year’s guide, and 49th in 2016.

At subject level the institution remains number one in the country for sports science.
