Nice area the university are very helpful and the course is very interesting
Lovely uni, take care of their students with any issues, good prices around campus and lots of things to do
better than other universities
I regret choosing to study at UCLAN. My course was very unorganised and I didn't feel prepared enough for the assignments given.
Great uni very wholesome and great support by staff and students
i absolutely love it here, couldn't recommend enough
Amazing Atmosphere. The staff are always ready to help you!
Great place friendly environment and new facilities
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
UCLan has been very accommodating to me, especially as an international student. If I have a problem, everyone is prepared to either help me directly or lead me to a person who could help.
Some aspects are nice and some are not
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.
It’s a great campus, faculty are supportive, lots of great places on campus to hang out and study and everyone is super helpful
Great uni! Only annoying thing is media factory is no longer open at weekends
Have really enjoyed studying and entertainment throughout my time here.
New facilities are opening to improve and update current buildings
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.
All the staff are so lovely and welcoming - it was very easy settling in during my first week.
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.
Everyone is very friendly and there is loads of social events to join
good uni, good courses. i like it here.
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.
Wifi can be a bit of a hassle at official accommodations, however great university choice!
good but not the best at all. student ambassadors are a joke don't work for them they talk about you behind your back negatively
UCLan is a nice uni. I have good opportunities here, and I feel very supported by the teachers
Good place to study, met some amazing people.
Supportive staff who are always willing to help. Incredible SU team who represent students well and respond to our grievances. Have a bus to take students home from the library if studying done until late
Uclan has been a good university to me so far, theres plenty of clubs and activitys to do in your spare time and the staff normally goes the extra mile to help you out if you have issues.
It is a decent university, there is general support and resources you need to be successful.
Very good university with decent facilities
Can’t argue with uclan truly love the place
This university is one of a kind very professional and warm welcoming, everything about it is amazing the society’s the atmosphere and even the educational aspect of the community, I rate this so much that friends I knew at college have changed universities to come here from my recommendation.
Satisfied with the university and in particular the dental school
I enrolled at UCLan after two years at a different University because I did not feel like I was receiving a high standard of education. Wish I'd known about UCLan sooner.
Overall good but there should be more non-class activities and services
Amazing! incredible staff and services. Buildings are modern and accessible and plenty of social areas. The library is brilliant too!
The university as a whole is okay. Your experience will depend on the course you are taking.
The university is great and I don't have a lot to complain about it. I adore my tutors and since I am studying Games Design, I wish there were better computers and better mouse pads for us, because the ones we were provided with are too small.
Great buildings to study and generally good and accommodating support for students.
Good, well rounded experience. I’m happy here.
Good student support and good sport centre
Great student life with lots of staff around campus to help at any time
UCLAN: Great uni to study medicine. Faculty members are so nice!
Good uni, lecturers are always helpful and have good experience
The university as a whole is brilliant. There could be improvements in places to study as there is a few places but not many to plug your own laptop in. The buildings are all easy to locate and the lecturers are always friendly and helpful. The mental health services are easy to use and readily available
Great social spaces and helpful staff especially the school of medicine as they’re always ready to help
The most enjoyable experience I have had in education despite returning as a mature student and studying a field I had not previously explored.
Very good college, modern facilities and nice teaching environment
Great university, beautiful campus and friendly people all around.
Best university with best facilities and best opportunities.
Good facilities and good teaching just wish it was more accessible for students to use facilities that aren’t necessarily specific to their course I.e. video recording equipment etc
Uclan is very accessable for all students. There is a large section for student wellfare, and a new building for student services. Most of the campus is close together and on some days and times do have a shuttle to the Uclan Sports Arena. The downside to this is there is no direct bus and can be a hard to get to on foot which google maps might send you down a private footpath. I can't say I have used the career cervces yet so it would be unfair to mark them down. Internet is good overall through out campus but I have had issues the odd time.
Uclan is fabulous. They are really supportive for students
Good university and friendly staff. Great social life and amazing medical program
Ok so far although a lot of things could be made better !
Absolutely brilliant university. Super clean and modern with amazing tutors and a wide range of societies to chose from. Could not be happier with my experience so far!
my professors are lovely and the buildings are nice, campus is small so everything is close by however the wifi is unreliable and the uni-owned accommodations are awful, highly recommend going private
University has very good open areas for studying and socialising
The university has new modern buildings and offers quality courses that other universities don’t tend to offer
The campus is great and not too big so it is easy to get around. Those in the SU are always there to help.
Having done my masters here I can say it's the best uni I've been to. Over and above during covid 👍
good uni, think there could’ve been more support available through covid though.
Bad experience from staff (tutors and doctors) to University organizations 3 years of experience! lying to students, Unprofessional staff and doctors, very disorganized and the Student Union doesn’t do anything at all!! I study at Burnley campus.
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.
Campus improvements are great and the new engineering building is great for the engineering school
Had only good experiences at the university
A good, developing modern university. Was very pleased with my studies at the MA, and was more than happy to return for PhD. The TESOL team is, by far, among the best.
Great uni, made great friends. Has amazing opportunities.
I have seen some of my best years at UCLan!
I really enjoyed my time in Uclan and the service in general has been so nice.
The university has a wide range of clubs and societies for students to join and facilities for students to use
Enjoy my course, the tutor and lecturers are very supportive when I have any question on it.
Great staff and facilities. The campus is modern and everything is within walking distance.
Decent university, still feels incomplete and I wouldn’t say the university campus is either innovative, welcoming or modern and Preston is a rather lacklustre city, however the course I am on is great.
The University of Central Lancashire is a great place to be, with the millions of pounds investment it will become even better. Great campus facilities, good location and great culture.
Tutors are lovely, the facilities are good :)
Good university to attend for certain subjects
Extremely welcoming university, with great resources as well as a great social atmosphere
University is helpful especially during lockdown
There’s a lack of facilities around campus for those in certain buildings meaning you have to go across campus just to sit with friends. The WiFi connection is very poor.
Good staff but need more events
Great uni, didn't spend much time in any clubs so I don't have much of an opinion on that
The uni feels great. Everyone in the area is nice and it feels safe. Due to covid i cant really review the uni experience just yet.
UCLAN has been great during the pandemic keeping us informed with new updates and procedures.
Due to covid the year was terrible but some lecturers are sound
Great experience and a very nice student city
School of medicine is amazing!
Preston campus is easily accessible
The school of medicine is great but the other facilities for an overall university experience is average
Good university and WiFi in the library. Staff are great
Love my Uclan experience, great tutors!
Experience halted due to the pandemic but overall its been a good year. The campus is quite nice and all clubs, societies and especially the student union are of great help.
I think the university has handled teaching quite well this year, despite the pandemic
Great univeristy! Staff are amazing! going to miss studying here!
great university in England close to Manchester!
Open and spacious, plenty of social facilities and the studying facilities are also great
Hate the university and moved to another one.
Obviously not what we expected this first year. But felt fully supported.
It’s a very diverse university with a lot of support for students and excellent facilities
Great university with great support team
Great help with the lectures and kind lecturers
Uclan has been good to me during covid, offering support and help with meals and also my assignments
Not a lot to say this year as covid has prevented me from using the campus so I’m not giving high reviews for that reason only
Yeah it’s not bad, could be better
The university is a lovely place to be
the university has a very home feel every one is very friendly and social including the tutors. the facilities are also very good with something for everything
Very good experience so far however due to covid we haven’t been into university much
Great library facilities helpful staff
A fantastic inclusive university. The teaching is really innovative and the city style campus is brilliant. The facilities are very modern with many new building being created to make UCLan even more desirable
Good uni and social things, lots of options to choose from
Good environment and helpful people
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.
Very very helpful, lovely staff, lovely place
Brilliant uni with great facilities!
Campus is located very close to train stations and town Centre. 24/7 library service. Free gym membership for students.
Excellent staff and very friendly. I feel that has been partly the reason why we are all staying here next year too and have stayed in the preceding year. The staff is very supportive and have helped us out in whatever way possible.
I chose UCLan because of the homie feeling !For a international student like me that’s very important !
This the worst place to study masters wasted my 13K money time my future everything is spoiled. They don't teach anything new and their assignments and assessment process is rubbish especially Lancashire School of Business and Enterprise Green Bank hub, professors are useless.
Best University ever. Very helpful professors and staff.
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
teaching will definitely be better once covid 19 is over, great support, you get treated like a person and not a number, overall i am pleased about my decision to study here.
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!
So far I enjoy the school. I just started during the pandemic so I haven't seen the full potential of what the school can offer but I'm sure I'll be happy with it
Good facilities , nice lecturers and good studios for my art
i go to preston college under derby university and the teaching and facilities are amazing !!
Love the uni I am in college campus which is why I have accommodation in Preston instead of derby
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.
So far so good considering we're still in a pandemic
I am only a first year but its pretty good
This is my fourth yeah and I love this uni! Would definitely recommend to a friend
Complete lack of support with poor online alternatives
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!
I love it here best uni every never want to leave everyone so nice and encouraging
Uclan as a whole is not a bad university, i
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.
Nice buildings and fantastic library resources and facilities:) Life in UCLan will definitely be one of my most unforgettable memories.
Great university with helpful and caring staff
Lovely, welcoming and inclusive.
What a fantastic Uni. Best decision I've ever made.
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.
The university has really qualified lecturers who try and help students whenever they can.$
An amazing place to study, full of student friendly services and dedicated staff
Beautiful campus, green and relatively calm streets in the morning so your walk to uni has less noises and more birds chirping
nice infrastructure, new technology and building
Had a good experience attending this university. Net lots of great people and there's always a lot going on around campus.
Great University, lots of career opportunities. Constantly expanding. Careers service was exceptional. Thoroughly enjoyed the students union.
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.
The university is amazing it provides a unique learning experience tailored to each students needs.
UCLAN is a great uni. The staff are really supportive and I am learning so much on my musical theatre course
Uclan is an an amazing university. They cater to all of students needs, providing a really informative and useful learning experience.
brilliant uni with amazing staff and facilities
UCLAN is a good university that has helped me on my course and meet other people on similar courses.
Love my course, advisors and tutors are always trying their best to help out
Amazing staff in most, if not all areas. Amazing support team via wellbeing. Amazing facilities such as computing/networking rooms
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.
Dont Join to this university it's a FAKE. They focused on getting international student and make money. They are not supporting students in any circumstances
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
I've had the worst three years of my entire life here. This is the worst uni I have ever been to (I've been to a few). Regularly lecturers don't turn up to lectures or meetings. Time table changes last minute (including taking away our 6 weeks summer holiday), no one replies to emails. My dissertation, I got told to do a certain topic by staff then 6 days before the deadline they said i could no longer do the topic then all the staff on the module went on annual leave for a week until the deadline had passed. No support, no one emails back, they just make life difficult.
Uclan is a really good university, everyone at the university is caring and understanding, no matter if it's your lecturers or your peers. When your at uclan you also feel like you as the student are put first as all lecturers and staff try to do what's best for you.
Cheap city for people worried about money and very forgiving with grades
Good uni, great staff love my lectures and lab. Tutors help me with issues whenever I come across them.
This university is especially good for subjects relating to criminology or forensics.
the campus is ok but societies are poorly managed with such little range. teaching is good though. feels more like a really big school rather than a university.
it's an okay uni n the staff on my course are great, i just wish the landlords of the student housing were better at their jobs. they suck.
the university was good and quite big. and a beautiful environment.
A great university lots of facilities well equipped with everything I need and a lot of access to things included like Mac computers built in with photoshop and illustrator in the Buildings and the library , also free access to the gym which is great and has all the equipment I need , very happy here
I was an exchange student for one semester. Great library, good people, really good student network, always ready to help you, many societies. You can really get involved if you want. Lots of events (with free food, yummy). Loved the experience.
Very welcoming atmosphere, good location
The internet was good but just sometimes were not. Besides, it was all good in UCLan
The university is great, I feel like a home as everybody is so friendly especially the students and staff. It does not feel like am at university.
Great place to study. Very student focused. Very close to town, everyone is more than willing to help
There's a lot of people that can help you with most of the things you'd need and the facilities are great as well.
Well laid out, nothing too far from each other and close to the centre of Preston. Good student bar, cafe and communal atrium. Good internet access and extensive library. Free gym access. Good well being team
The campus is easy to get around, the clubs and societies are cheap and fun to join. The Student Union building has a nice shop which is relatively cheap, also with a bar that does fun stuff on certain nights (Tuesday Karaoke is a favourite of mine). Didn't look into the Careers service but I heard good things. Internet/Wi-fi is fine, but depending we did have it go out a few times because of road works close by or something.
Every staff I've met is friendly and kind.
Other than halls the university campus its self is well invested with more on the way, awesome facilities and teaching staff who are more than happy to help a relatively diverse group of clubs a very decent careers service in career edge and the wifi is top notch around campus
UCLan is such a good university as everyone is so helpful you never feel alone
Really good place to study I love it here
I've not taken part in the careers services or societies so can't really comment on them but the students Union hosts lots of fun interesting events and serve vegan food (though it often sells out). The internet generally works pretty well sometimes a bit slow but I'll take it over no WiFi. The buildings are all generally pretty well looked after and there are a lot of new/modern looking buildings but some of the older buildings have small lifts that are a bit of a tight squeeze for wheelchair users. Definitely recommend the gym as it's free for students and has a cardio room that's good for working out in if you're self conscious.
Great WiFi, and a nice convenient university.
I loved doing my computing bachelors degree here. I disagree with some of the reviews on here, the lecturers on the computing degree I did mainly had or were working towards PhD. Tge quality if teaching in my school is very good. The 4 week challenge in the first year is a brilliant starter. I have studied a masters here and I would highly recommend it.
I am very disappointed and think it's strange that students who came for me for advice on the BSc Hons in Health and social care at Burnley in 2017 achieved higher grades than me. The teachers didn't have any time for some students in my opinion they persistently failed me because they didn't like me. I'm now unemployed and doubt I will never work again.
If you hold unpopular/politically incorrect views, this Uni is not for you I just had a friend kicked out of this academia because had a opinion... That halal slaughter was barbaric Instead of challenging his opinion like how any Uni should do so students can learn to debate views they disagree with, they kicked him out, saying that they had "serious concerns about his ability to engage with his course and his cohort in a way that avoids perceptions of harassment by others" If you value free speech, this Uni is best avoided
not finished yet /////////////////
No support from tutors on the BSc Hons in Health and Social Care. Shocked that they were so harsh at marking.
I recently studied the BSc Hons in Health and Social Care at Burnley and in my opinion the support was terrible, teachers gave me extremely low marks for good work, emails were ignored and it resulted in me being unable to find a job and not having a grade high enough for entry on to a Masters degree.
I undertook my degree in English Literature and the tutor Dr Richard Walker was hardly ever there. It is absolutely disgusting the amount of money I now owe to SLC when my teacher was always off sick; often only learning this after trudging across campus to find a pathetic note on a door. Now, ten years later, I am hugely indebted and without employment. I wonder if it has anything to do with such disgraceful treatment at the hands of my university.
The uni has 2 different free WiFi’s, so when one drops out (which they do) you can switch to the other and not waste your data. There are plenty of shops and places to buy lunch, however they can be expensive for what you end up getting. The library is brilliant, with bookable group study rooms so you can discuss the course content with friends. All the study rooms have whiteboards, computers and screens but you have to buy your own pen. Don’t buy it from the library, the price is ridiculous for a single whiteboard pen. The student union is good, it has a cafe and several shops, and also an amazon locker.
Fairly good uni, SU isnt the best ive seen but its decent enough, loads of societies not sure what most of them even do as i never hear anything but maybe thats my fault. Library is great especially as its open 24 hours
I hated it, lecturers were a waste of time
Absolute nightmare. Poorly trained staff (bachelor students) why would you have a university with students teaching students. I asked for time with my tutors and all they could spare with 5 minutes on a Friday. Ridiculous, I quit sooner than a year.
Started at UCLan in september 2017 and realised it wasn't for me and that I'd rather drop out early and take a gap year and work my ass off. Then found out I have to pay 2,500 gbp to UCLan (out of the 9,000 for an entire year) for the 2 weeks I went there..? Turns out this is hidden in the t&c's and I even looked around and no other uni does this?! So basically if you go to UCLan and want to drop out do it in the first week lol - which is before you can see if you like the course. A complete scam.
I have zero complaints about my course or the university, i just want to warn people that IQ leaves me wondering if there were better choices with better beds.
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.
