Really good university just finished my 2nd year and I’m really impressed with everything around. So close to town, shops and the campus it’s all within a 15 minute walk. There is no worrying about making my lesson or not at all!!

biggest mistake of my life studying at that place!
The election system and the employed staff members at the students union are an absolute disgrace and they should all be struck off if the union is going to rebuild its relationship with the students. Careers service and wifi are thoroughly good.
Love UCLan, free gym for students, plenty of things to do in the union. Good nightlife. Library is giant
Roeburn is the safest of all halls and stu and Steve the security guys are just the best
Enjoying my course and the experience so far! Such a good uni
Great uni, great experience so far
Internet goes down at least once a week when everyone needs to do work
Really great computing department and specialised labs. Staff are friendly and approachable too!
Friendly university with helpful student union
Got me my dream job. Made great friends.
Completed my foundation degree and loved UCLan. The facilities and staff were excellent, all lecturers were approachable and helpful in all situations. My halls for both years were excellent condition and affordable
Great location, amazing nights out, brilliant people and generally a fantastic University. Wouldn't of chosen anywhere else!
Amazing university with wonderful facilities! Staff are amazing and so supportive, plus there's so many societies you can join your never bored at uclan!
Best decision I have ever made in my life . Great course and staff members
Love everything about it! The fact that everything on campus is so close together is especially good for those in the first year and are wanting to go from their accommodation to their lectures quickly! The student union has everything you need and the staff in the centres are all really friendly. Joining a sports team is easy, you can be an amazing athlete or just someone wants to go for fun, everyone is included!
I studied BSc Psychology at UCLan which was very satisfying. The staff is very helpful and you get a lot of support with whatever you need. I enjoyed it a lot which is why I'm returning for my Masters degree this September.
A great uni full of friendly people. Close to the town centre but far enough away that you don't get the general public walking around. A large campus but everything within a 15 minute walk. Great night life all year round!
During my time at Uclan I have meet so many amazing people, both student and staff! I have never had teachers help and guide me in the right way like I have at Uclan. I was down and feeling depressed for a while and everyone really help me get past it and I managed to finish my year with a first!
I love uni. The uni is fab and the lifestyle is fab couldn't ask for a better experience.
Great facilities, with lots of help and support to ensure you get the best grade possible
Great campus 5 min from town, great work opportunities especially as an Ambassador, so many societies and clubs to join, staff are friendly and always willing to help, plenty of resources available.
A bit old fashioned. Lots of 'older' students 20-25. More going on for the young boring club lovers
Awful university. My course lecturers were shockingly unpunctual and never turned up, when they did they cut 2 hour lectures by almost 1 hour every time, and we finished 1 hour lectures within the first half hour, it made me wonder what I was paying for. I lived with people who studied different courses and they had a similar issue within the physics and maths courses. Facilities are okay but very open to the public so if you like being asked by the homeless for money everyday this is the university for you.
Its okay but it has some issues with quality of staff. Some are really good but others are lazy and not up to date with current research. The library is excellent though.
Love the atmosphere, close to shops and food places. Good transport links
The Students' Union needs serious reform can change, the campus generally is quite good, tutors are nice, halls are decent and the new master plan is great to improve the universities current facilities
Brilliant uni, no complaints at all, recommended to anyone.
Teachers are fantastic and the facilities are modern. Campus us close to most Halls and the night life is cheap and cheerful
good uni to go to have a will again recommend it to my friends
Fresh modern campus with supportive staff, great facilities, resources and opportunities!
great uni! Love it, don't like the city and my course leader but there's is plenty at the uni to do and it is well managed!
Its good for science but I think it's terrible for creative students or people who are a little shy
Very good facilities for science based degree. Great social side to uclan too
Great university, great facilities and really look after students!
Absolutely love Uclan. Whatever you need is here. No matter how big or small your problem is, there's plenty of people to help you and every single one of them is so enthusiastic! Would definitely recommend!
The campus is integrated with the city, so there is always a pub between your lectures for that desperately needed pint. The library is 24/7 and has plenty of quite and group study spaces. The buildings are well heated and most have been refurbed or due one soon. The university offers a great service for students in the PR1/2 post codes where they will take you home free of charge after dark, so late night study sessions in the library are good to go. Clubs and societies is an issue also linked with the union. The union has been a complete disappointment for me. They are poor communicators, have rubbish facilities and offer boring activities which only a small percentage of students engage in. People have little faith in uclan su, especially now that they're venue is totally rubbish and an absolutely rip off. Careers centre is great for CV support and student based jobs but there is not enough to go round. Probably not their fault! Internet is super fast and everywhere!
Engineering Department is Fabulous
Lots of new equipment added, new building being built to increase the size of engineering department. Whole university being updated and expanded.
Cons?
Sports arena off campus and no transport for leasurly use.
