University Of Central Lancashire

Coming to this university is the equivalent of the old fashion comprehensive education system where teacher can verbally abuse students.

I have seen a lecturer of poor quality shout at students as if it was a pupil at high school and this behaviour seem to be acceptable.

The staff concern has not been hold accountable by management and behaves in a way as she can do what she like.

Some lecture are good and others not so. Be careful what you choose here.

I wont be surprised if report of child abuse where found out.

One of the worst universities in Britain, Some of the lectures are the laziest and least interested in the job lectures i have ever met in any uni
so if you're thinking of going there remember you've been WARNED!

UCLAN is great Uni with a large range of facilities and student services. Staff and Students are very friendly + helpful. Module content is varied and challenging, with a good range of elective modules in the second and third years.

Completed my undergraduate and postgraduate studies at uclan and i am very pleased! Great and friendly university staff! Also, I consider Preston as an ideal place for a student due to the low life costs compared to other big cities in North West. The campus is only few minutes away from Preston city centre. Would totally recommend.

I studied the top-up degree at this uni in hospitality management. First of all, UK is not the place to learn service or hospitality, secondly, the academic structure for this program is poorly and vaguely designed, it is not practical at all. Some tutors has obvious biased viewpoints towards Chinese students. Also, due to the academic agreement with some of the uni in China, this uni has numerous Chinese students. HOWEVER, I've got my privilege to meet some of the very good teachers I would regard one of them as the best teacher in my life, not only about academic skills but more on the way and attitude they place on their students, regardless of their origin. This uni, has some perfect facilities and the library is superb, so I ended up learning a lot of things by myself there and I'm really grateful to that. I would recommend this uni to those who has strong self-learning ability

Huge footprint for a University. New and older facilities and plenty to see and do. Amazing science facilities including crime scene houses and blood rooms. Staff who go out of their way to help

Be careful when studying on a Postgraduate Degree Programme by Distance Learning at the University. If you quit early they will write off your Access to Learning Fund and Bill you for Tuition Fees. I am a disabled student and had to quit since they pay pittance through the Access to Learning Fund. UCLAN think of themselves and do not care about students well being. My car broke down also so I could not attend one of the modules, no sympathy only a full wack bill! DSAs were late, postgraduate loan was late also, UCLAN lecturer wrote off 3 webinars. I was still faced will a full bill for tuition fees for the webinars. I only had 2 webinars for another module as well so I would be careful going to this University as a Postgraduate. Modules I also wanted to study were cancelled for the academic year and I was only notified the modules I wanted to study, were not running when I enrolled not before! I was told I was getting a refund from the finance department in writing by email, they changed their mind, so it seems any reply by email should not be taken seriously. The accounts department cannot be trusted. The Head of Student Services just wrote everything off even though I seen a refund on my student account. UCLAN cancelled my student account, I could not login then, presented a full bill for the first quarter. They will take back the Access to Learning Fund and not count this even though under the contract, I would have been bound by the terms and conditions, they override it seems. A Postgraduate Loan of £10,000 and a Access to Learning Fund of £1,474.50, they say is the full amount, will not be enough. I will never get my refund I am due and I will never go back to this University again even if I secured other funding.

UCLAN hosted a summer club I attended for a week, which was an enjoyable experience. The facilities were clean and the atmosphere was great

No other Fine Art dept like it. Think as big as you want... it's happening.

Really great experience as teachers are highly motivated to assist us as being a student.

A Town Centre campus except it doesn't feel like a campus rather a collection of buildings with other non university businesses in the mix.

There are many older buildings but is obvious the University is attempting to "build" a central core of facilities. The Forster building contains Refectory, shops and Cafe bar. The Sports Centre is impressive and close by. Student Union looks to have good facilities and is central.

Halls of Residence are about 15 minutes walk from the Central buildings. Majority are set in blocks of flats with surrounding landscaping eith grass to sit on. All the rooms offer the basics and not much else.

In a few years time with more redevelopment of the area this will become a good edge of town centre campus.

Brilliant place the hole of my family whent to a open day brilliant day we enjoyed it very much will go again. Great place to learn. Maybe I could Volunteer their l would really love to learn and help. Great place Great people.
