(5)·By Alisha N·Law· Jun 2026
My overall experience as a student has been quite positive, with a good balance between academic and social life. The course is engaging and generally well-structured, with most lecturers being supportive and knowledgeable, although at times the workload can feel a bit overwhelming, especially during busy periods. Student life is enjoyable, with plenty of opportunities to meet new people and get involved in different activities, which really helps build confidence and a sense of community. The commute can be tiring depending on the time of day, and it would be better if there were more flexible options or support for travel. Accommodation is decent, but there is room for improvement in terms of maintenance and value for money. The social scene is one of the highlights, with lots of events and spaces to relax, though it could be more inclusive for people who prefer quieter or alternative activities. Overall, it’s a rewarding experience, but with a few improvements, it could be even better.

Overall, I'm really enjoying my course, and the content is engaging and well-structured. The lecturers are knowledgeable and supportive, which makes learning a real pleasure. I find the subject matter interesting, which keeps me motivated. However, it can be overwhelming at times, especially when juggling multiple assignments and deadlines. It's a challenging balance, but the course's overall quality and the opportunities it presents make it worthwhile. I'm excited about what the future holds.

UCLan has given me an opportunity.

(5)·By Merin R·Aerospace Engineering· Jun 2026
At first, I definitely struggled with the whole aspect of university and living by myself, but the university really helped. My lecturers are all so supportive, and I have made some amazing friendships that I can’t wait to spend more time with and make more lasting memories together. The location of the university is perfect, with the right balance of modern life and nature. Everything is so nearby and accessible; I couldn’t have asked for a better university choice.

Best uni out there

(5)·By Kaitlyn a·Law· Jun 2025
Student life here is great—there are lots of cheap bars and clubs, and the town centre is really close by next to the train station and bus station, making it easy to travel to the uni or for friends and family to visit.

Amazing University

Hi, this university has been amazing, especially because I have serious mental health issues and they have been so supportive in getting me back into uni. The course is also really good and manageable.

My UCLan experience

(5)·By Ellie W·Nursing· Jun 2023
I undertook my undergraduate course here during Covid 19 and the university adapted their styles of teaching well. I enjoyed my time here and would definitely recommend!
I have now returned to do my non medical prescribing module and I have nothing but positive things to say! I've really enjoyed it!

Excellent

(5)·By Sophie H·MSc Counter Terrorism· Jun 2023
I can't complain about anything regarding my university so far. The standard of teaching is excellent, you can tell the staff love teaching and care about their students as they go above and beyond expectations to help. All the resources offered by the university are signposted on their website and are easy to access. No complaints

My experience at UcLan

(5)·By Sabaa P·English Studies· Jun 2023
When I first started at UcLan i was really worried and stressed about the pressure of being in higher education, i had hear a lot of rumours about how lecturers kind of leave you to it and aren't much help. However, this was the complete opposite for me my tutors are super helpful, if i never understand anything they always organise meetings with me to explain anything i might have trouble understanding on my own. I recently have been struggling balancing my work life and uni life and person life, this is common for a lot of university students who are under financial pressure. When this started affecting my attendance immediately i was contacted by my tutors but also a well-being officer. At first i was scared that i was probably going to get kicked off my course however, each tutor did their utmost best to help me catch up with what i missed out on and my well-being officer scheduled regular check ins she was very understanding as were my tutors about my situation and helped me out a lot. Overall, so far i have had a very positive uni experience and would highly recommend to any students looking into going to university this up and coming educational year.
