Most helpful review

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.

Student Review: 1.8 /5
By member811167 On 13th July 15 verified Verified student

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.

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

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.
