I’m really enjoying Uni life on campus, everyone is friendly and helpful and I enjoy the course. There is a gym on campus and it’s amazing. I’ve joined a society and they have events on too which I’ll be attending in the future. So far so good.

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.
