A university that cares about making sure students get the best university experience but also the best possible education. The Staff are always there to help in any way they can, the campus and facilities are state of the art and the student union is always standing in support of the students. I did four years at UCLan and I wish I could relive those four years again.

My experience with Uclan has been one of Patience and understanding on their behalf towards me. Going through the struggles of medical and mental care I needed time to take a step back and assess my choices. Uclan have helped at every step of the way to accomadate for my unique difficulties and situation to best support me in my drive to educate myself. I truly can not overstate the level of care and attention the staff and tutors will put in on behalf of students that demonstrate potential but are finding resistance from their own difficulties.

This is particularly for anyone who wants to study here because they want to learn Korean or Japanese - DO NOT GO HERE the staff only care about their own personal projects. I am in my final year and my disseration adviser has no knowledge on my topic, he doesn't even bother to reply in the same week. I had a friend study Japanese and the head of the Japanese department literally didn't even look at my friends portfolio before marking it a 0

Should be ranked higher honestly. I love the staff here, they're so nice. Things have been very difficult with Covid-19 but my course leader and academic advisors have been really supportive and caring. The campus is also really nice, it's open but feels really close and homely. Love the societies here. I've been a member of the Korean society for both of my years here and in first year when clubs were open the events were so fun. Everybody got involved, even people from the public were welcome, and the atmosphere was insane. Such a great time, although I don't know much about any other society here at this University. Preston is a bit hit or miss but in general it pretty much has everything you could want. I love the diversity here!

Do not choose nursing if you cannot drive! As an epileptic, I am not allowed to drive. When I spoke to the university, they said that this would be fine and that they would pick placements that are accessible to me. Great! Well, turns out they don't give two stuffed muffins if you can't drive, they'll stick you anywhere and then berate you for telling them it isn't doable. They accused me of being rigid and said that I should have thought about this before I started placement! All in all, the lecturers are unequipped to deal with students who ask questions that are anything above basic. My tutor was apathetic and couldn't even pretend to care or help. The PEF (or at least mine) was the opposite of helpful, often condescending. I don't hate the course, I'm just thoroughly disappointed with this disgrace of a university. Don't ever choose a university out of convenience, there is a reason it is so low in the league tables.

I sat a postgraduate course with the UCLan Law School and found that the staff were supportive in both the taught and research aspects of the programme. The Lancashire Law School and the Lancashire Business School are definitely stand out features of the University, something which should be praised far more than they are.

Cant think of a good time I had here. Problem after problem nobody understood or helped. My blackboard was down for 7 months. I couldn't get any of my assignments or upload any of my work. The teachers ignored my emails time after time because they thought I didn't want to learn when in actual fact they didn't want to help. They even managed to not send me any emails or letters regarding my graduation and apparently asking 2 months before was too late!

Im currently coming to the end of my MSc Forensic Psychology degree at this university. I came from Edge Hill university doing my BSc Honours there, and I graduated with a high 2.1. I was full of confidence, however since I have been at this university I feel all my confidence has disappeared. I have had persistently low grades (which I take full responsibility for) however I feel there is a significant lack of support. I felt every time I asked a question about something, I was turned away and not given any real answers, therefore I felt unable to really improve my grades, and often I walked away never really knowing the answers or understanding where I went so wrong.

I'm an older student studying largely as a distance learner for an MSc in Financial Investigation. I left school at 17 so this is my one and only experience of University. First off, the course itself is great, very focused on producing people who are competent and employable. Lecturers are capable, experienced and knowledgeable. My key lecturers have all been friendly and helpful to me personally. In terms of the environment, Preston is a bomb site at the moment as there is a lot of work going on around the uni, but the campus itself is modern and seems to be well equipped and I love the library and computer facilities. Main issue for me was getting to grips with the distance learning systems - ask for help early on because it's not very intuitive.

Uclan is a decent university with a good atmosphere for the most part. However if you are looking to study Korean here, I would look into Sheffield or SOAS as the people on this course are always toxic, with bullying being a massive problem

It's a decent university, with some unique courses and big investments however I wish they offered more support to us at these times.

Beautiful campus, green and relatively calm streets in the morning so your walk to uni has less noises and more birds chirping

There is a lack of community and social spaces as well as a lack of outside green spaces. I often struggle to get WiFi on campus as it disconnects and the signal is poor.

I really struggled at this university and felt better support could have been given, there was a lack of communication. I studied mental health nursing I had an unhappy second year in nursing, however my fellow students loved it and now are graduates. The facilities etc are great

After already attending a previous university that I didn't like, I was very worried about going back into education as I thought that every other University would be the same. I was wrong. UCLan is an absolutely awesome university, in my opinion. I'm currently enrolled on the BSc Neuroscience course and I have absolutely no complaints. The course is so engaging with great structure; the work load is given at our advantage to prepare us for the next year and/or the future; and the staff members are truly awesome. The best thing about this university has to be the staff members. I love every single one of my lectures as they all have the same caring, kind, and compassionate mindset. I've never once felt nervous or too scared to ask questions or about any problems I fave because I know that they're there to help me and guide me to do the best that I can. I can't speak for others who attend this university and study different courses but I honestly have no complaints

Recently done a BSc in nursing mental health. Minimal if not any support offered by tutors at the Preston campus. Not assigned placements till last minute, then no support by the university when on placement. Received responses to emails when they felt like responding and when they do finally respond the question you have asked is not directly answered. We were given assignments to complete whilst on placement (37.5hrs). The assignments are not always anonymous so if your a person who raises issues during the course expect a low grade. Would not recommend this course at this university to anyone. Student nurses have left due to lack of support and bad attitudes of certain tutors not because they have found the course hard.

It is a very good university. I would suggest it as the teaching quality is high! However, Preston is a small town with limited career prospects. This is the only reason that the last year I was transferred from Uclan to MMU.

I am shocked with lecturers who bully international students. Lecturers are full of prejudice, level of education is very low. They constantly confusing students, first time I saw this kind of attitude comparing to other Universities abroad
