I love this accommodation! Nathan and Sophie are super friendly and it’s been much better since they started. I love all the things the accommodation hosts and my room is really spacious! It’s great value for money. The building is also always clean which I really appreciate and things always get fixed very quickly!

Dedicated lecturers that care about their students, campus that is being constantly improved and a good range of courses. Not being a Russel group uni takes the pressure off the study and I've found it to be overall an enriching and beneficial experience with lots of extra curricular activities popping up in my department.

I applied here through clearing, as before I wasn’t sure whether or not I thought university was right for me. But I’m so glad I chose to apply. I’ve had an amazing time at Uclan. All of the staff are welcoming and if there are any issues they are solved efficiently. My experience has been more than I could have ever hoped for and I can’t wait to progress onto year two.

Recently graduated from Uclan and over my entire three years I felt more negatively towards the university than positively. Classrooms lacked working equipment but funds often spent on making the campus look nicer. Timetabling team are slow, careless and every student for every year had timetable issues, classes not showing up, clashes, ect. Graduates in languages not efficient enough in the languages they learned to actually achieve a graduate position in a workplace. In-class and extra curricular activities minimum. Student welfare extremely poor, The university valued mitigating circumstance applicable students over struggling but capable students. Terrible predatory business ethic. Money is more important than students every time, Disciplinary team biased and narcissistic, if you don't comply to their biases then your free speech human right is redundant. Uclan tries very hard to avoid complaints and avoid giving students compensation.

I've loved my time here! The uni is quite big and there are so many places to study. There's a newly built Student Centre that's super bright and modern, perfect for studying if you don't want to be silent in a library setting. The library has a large selection of books. The nightlife is pretty dire to be honest, there's only about 2 clubs in the whole of Preston (Switch and Warehouse) But the uni is great tbh, I've really enjoyed my time here.

Decent university that allows you to be independent, however the teaching quality leaves something to be desired at times.

I recently attended the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) in Preston and I am thoroughly impressed with my experience. The campus is modern and well-maintained, with a variety of facilities for students to use, including libraries, computer labs, and sports centres. The academic staff were knowledgeable and passionate about their subjects, and always willing to provide support and guidance. The university offers a wide range of courses, providing students with a diverse range of study options. The city of Preston is also a great place to study, with a lively student community and a variety of activities and events to participate in. Overall, I would highly recommend UCLan to anyone looking for a high-quality education in a supportive and dynamic environment.

I regret choosing to study at UCLAN. My course was very unorganised and I didn't feel prepared enough for the assignments given.

There are lots of things to do on campus other than study. Due to societies and the students Union it is quite easy to meet new people. The level of teaching I would say is above average for my course

The university has been good, but due to shutting uni buildings over the weekend and earlier during weekdays, work cannot be completed has made computing my degree incredibility difficult due to reduced access to specialist rooms. Disappointing move from the uni.

As much as I love preston and the amazing student accomodation. The teaching is not up to standard. Wouldn't recommend for nursing course here. Not much structure put in place and lessons are nit in much detail.

I am in my final year and studying here has been pretty good. During Covid things weren't the best but considering the times things were done as best as could be and now that everything is steadily going back to normal, being on campus is great.

Not got any complaints so far. It's not a huge campus but I like that. Library is good for study. New student centre is great for advise and services as well as a great spot to meet up for group projects. Student union building is really great, Starbucks on campus is nice. Course is good however very unorganised and unscheduled. Frustrating for someone who needs structure to focus on studies. Good facilities for my course and been able to use them every time I need. Staff are friendly and easy to talk to.
