A warm welcome to FoundationCampus students from the Vice-Chancellor of UCLan

Welcome to the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) which has an established, international reputation for the quality of its academic partnerships both in the UK and abroad. We attract students from over 100 countries and we continue to develop innovative relationships that enable international students to reach their potential and follow their career aspirations.

An international award winning university

You will be joining a University which puts students at the heart of everything we do. We have won international awards for the outstanding support we supply to overseas students and, thanks to a recent investment of over £60 million, our facilities are amongst the most modern in the UK. Our Students’ Union was recently voted ‘best in the UK’, we are the proud owner of the largest 3D lecture theatre in Europe and this year we opened a new School of Dentistry and a £15 million Media Factory.

THE University for Careers

We are committed to enhancing our growing reputation as the 'University for Careers'. Producing 'internationalised' graduates who possess the business skills demanded by employers is central to our overall aims. Indeed, 95% of UCLan graduates enter employment or further study within six months of graduation, one of the highest rates achieved by any UK university.
