Student life here is great—there are lots of cheap bars and clubs, and the town centre is really close by next to the train station and bus station, making it easy to travel to the uni or for friends and family to visit.

Hi, this university has been amazing, especially because I have serious mental health issues and they have been so supportive in getting me back into uni. The course is also really good and manageable.

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!

Uclan is an amazing uni that offers amazing opportunities for its student. It offers hundreds of societies to join and be apart of and also the lecturers are are all so nice and welcoming. I definitely recommend this uni

I can't complain about anything regarding my university so far. The standard of teaching is excellent, you can tell the staff love teaching and care about their students as they go above and beyond expectations to help. All the resources offered by the university are signposted on their website and are easy to access. No complaints

When I first started at UcLan i was really worried and stressed about the pressure of being in higher education, i had hear a lot of rumours about how lecturers kind of leave you to it and aren't much help. However, this was the complete opposite for me my tutors are super helpful, if i never understand anything they always organise meetings with me to explain anything i might have trouble understanding on my own. I recently have been struggling balancing my work life and uni life and person life, this is common for a lot of university students who are under financial pressure. When this started affecting my attendance immediately i was contacted by my tutors but also a well-being officer. At first i was scared that i was probably going to get kicked off my course however, each tutor did their utmost best to help me catch up with what i missed out on and my well-being officer scheduled regular check ins she was very understanding as were my tutors about my situation and helped me out a lot. Overall, so far i have had a very positive uni experience and would highly recommend to any students looking into going to university this up and coming educational year.

The lecturers and course leaders are very helpful. They are friendly and are always willing to give academic support. I always feel like I am never alone experiencing my university experience due to them. They deliver the course in different ways as they get to know us and tailor lessons to everyone's needs. They also inform us of many graduate opportunities with career fairs.

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.

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.
