Welcome to the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan)
What is UCLan FoundationCampus?
UCLan FoundationCampus is a partnership between the University of Central Lancashire and Cambridge Education Group - the leading provider of pre-university academic and English Language tuition in the UK.
Who is it for?
- Students who would like a guaranteed place to study at a good quality UK University
- Students who do not currently meet the entry requirements for UK University study
How can FoundationCampus help you?
We provide foundation programmes within UCLan helping you to meet the entry requirements for a wide range of UCLan undergraduate and postgraduate programmes.
Our students study and live on-campus, so they are part of University life from the start.
Students who successfully complete the FoundationCampus programme gain automatic entry onto their chosen UCLan degree programme.
For students who need extra English Language tuition before starting a Foundation course, we also offer an English Language Preparation Programme, tailored to meet your needs.

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.
