My UCLan experience

(5)·By Ellie W·Nursing· Jun 2023
I undertook my undergraduate course here during Covid 19 and the university adapted their styles of teaching well. I enjoyed my time here and would definitely recommend!
I have now returned to do my non medical prescribing module and I have nothing but positive things to say! I've really enjoyed it!

People were very much welcoming and it was fun to make new friends They have great accomodations with excellent security support and maintenance staff The university has an amazing library where it helps to explore more knowledge about the course an individual is studying The facilities offered by the university and the staff and course leader encouraging and sharing their knowledge with the students makes the course more better Preston is a beautiful city and has alot of beautiful parks to visit

It was great, lots of vouchers and offers. It was advertised throughout campus and emails sent to notify of things happening I rented private with some people I knew The library was fantastic, 24/7 with fantastic access to everything needed The course was interesting and challenging, the activities pushed me out of by comfort zone Preston is an okay city, great for night life but not that m if h around during the day

Amazing university recommend to everyone

(5)·By Ans k·Law· Jun 2023
I think uclan is an amazing university that I really recommend to anyone and everyone. It's amazing for making new friends as well and the quality of the teaching is brilliant. I do also think that the facilities here are good as well as there are plenty of places that help you with work if your struggling as well such as WISER and the tutors are great too

Psychology / Criminology, Year 2

(5)·By Bethan L·Psychology· Jul 2021
It was amazing there was never a day where you had nothing to do, it was full of socialising, making new friends, going out and having a good time. I couldn't have asked for a better freshers experience I met so many friends that I will know for life and made so many memories that I'll cherish forever. I lived in halls of residence for my first year and second year and I can't fault the accommodation. It's very affordable pricing and the rooms are always clean and fresh and spacious enough and you are provided with your own en-suite where I stayed which is good. I always use the library and it is so useful it has a very large space with computers on around 3 floors and pod rooms where you can study on your own in a quiet area or in a group. I use the student union sometimes but not often but it is really good it even has its own bar which is good for socialising and the drinks and food are lovely. I love my course!! I study psychology, I was originally about to start university studying philosophy but had a change of heart and I'm glad I decided to go through with it. The course is so engaging even the lectures and even the 9am's are worth getting up for, it is such an interesting topic and the tutors really help guide you in the right direction. When thinking of studying in preston I didn't really think much about the city life as its only a small city. There are few clubs but the city life is still so good the clubs are always packed and good music and the drinks are pretty cheap which is good when you're a student.

Brilliant supportive university

(5)·By Brittany H·Business· Jun 2023
I really enjoyed my time at this university. I had studied at an institution elsewhere, and the support and teaching I received at UCLan was phenomenal in comparison. There was always staff who I could reach out to if I needed anything, and they seemed genuinely interested in me and wanted to help - the more you put in the more you get out. The course was kept interesting with relevant and topical modules, with coursework to be completed in a range of different ways so I didn't feel like I was constantly churning out essays. The campus has lots of different buildings but was easy enough to navigate around. Some buildings were more dated than others, but this didn't impact learning experience. The gym was brilliant and new, and I believe the library and student centre has been refreshed since I left. I can't comment on accommodation as I lived at home, and didn't make the most of social groups either due to this as I was balancing study with work. However I would not hesitate to recommend UCLan to anybody and hope to return for future studies one day.

Psychology, Year 1

(5)·By Emma J·Psychology· Oct 2018
My university experience was far more than I imagine, we had a brilliant freshers week and I met some amazing people. Everyone was so friendly and willing to help me. Always advice and support their even as little as I got lost in the city didn't know were I was going and someone from the Uni helped me and walked me to my building for my lecture to make sure I was safe. University of Central Lancashire go above and behond to help the student and make sure they are safe. Love it

My university experience

(5)·By Emaan M·Nursing· Jun 2023
During my time at the university of central Lancashire it has been a pleasurable experience. The facilities and teaching is amazing and to a high standard to ensure the best possible outicomes for the students. The help and support from different institutions such as mental health and academic writing is immaculate as it provides a safe space for students to talk about what they are struggling with. Overall this university is brilliant and I could not ask for a more better community to be part of.
