The Lancaster University campus has everything you'll need for an enriching student experience.
Campus will become your home from home and provide a background to all the memories you will make during your time at university.
Located at the heart of campus, our library is a welcoming place that brings people together to study, learn and attend events. With staff ready to support your learning, over a million digital and physical resources, living walls and a tree affectionately named Norma.
Our eight undergraduate colleges have a social space each (open to all) and campus boasts a bunch of food outlets and recreational spaces that are the perfect setting for life outside of your studies.
Surrounded by woodland that you can explore with paths and trails, campus has many green spaces that are ideal for moments of calm or somewhere to socialise with friends.
Keep healthy with our extensive sports facilities, including sports halls, a climbing wall, swimming pool, fitness suite, strength and conditioning room, outdoor pitches and courts, and a 2.6-mile Trim Trail that spans campus.
When venturing off campus, you’ll find a packed calendar of events and everything you need from a city in Lancaster - shops, cosy cafes and pubs, buzzing bars and clubs (including our very own Students’ Union nightclub), and an assortment of places to eat.
Lancaster’s location means choice, from city life to the scenic quiet of the UNESCO world heritage site on our doorstep, the Lake District. By train, we're around 1 hour from Manchester or Liverpool or 2.5 hours from London, Glasgow or Edinburgh. Lancaster is well connected and easy to get to.
Student life
The colleges are central to student life at Lancaster.
Moving to university can be daunting at first, but your college is there to help you settle in. You and your college will move in together, take part in Welcome Week events together, and forge connections in the early stages of university.
Every college has its own bar, social spaces, sports teams, days out and events. This means there’s always something to do, somewhere to go, and a genuine community to be a part of. With 24/7 security in term time and dedicated welfare teams in each college, you can feel safe and secure knowing that your college has your back.
Lancaster University Students’ Union is here to enhance every aspect of your time as a student – supporting your social life, your studies, your sporting activities, your hobbies and interests, and the causes you care about. Your activity groups are at the heart of life at Lancaster. With more than 175 clubs and societies covering a huge range of sports, activities, hobbies and causes, there’s something for everyone – we’re here to help you find it, making sure you find a sense of belonging.
The Students’ Union also helps build a sense of community on campus by hosting a full calendar of events – including Roses (our annual sporting event with the University of York) and Lancaster’s legendary ‘Extrav’ celebrations at the end of the year.
You’ll have every possible opportunity to make international connections at Lancaster, meeting students from more than 120 countries – whether you’re doing group work, getting involved with one of our student societies or enjoying a night off at a big celebration.
You might spend a few weeks abroad as part of your course, or even study for a whole academic year with one of our partner institutions around the world. And when you graduate, you’ll join an alumni network that touches every corner of the globe – putting a 170-country network at your fingertips.
If you study at Lancaster, you won’t just graduate with an excellent degree from an institution recognised nationally and internationally for its leading teaching and research, but with memories you’ll treasure for a lifetime.
Going to university is a life-changing experience; it’s about expanding your knowledge, developing new skills, and making meaningful connections.
Studying at Lancaster University is an investment in your future. Our students benefit from excellent teaching, which is underpinned by world-leading research and meaningful engagement with industry.
Our courses are informed by industry and designed to train people for the future global workplace. In addition to the opportunities to engage with companies and learn about industries that are built into our degrees, there is also a vast range of development activities available through the Careers service, the Students’ Union, sports clubs and student societies, and elsewhere in the University.
Whether you have an idea about your career path before you start university or not, we’re here to guide and support you throughout your time studying with us and throughout your life as a Lancaster graduate. In addition to the careers workshops and activities you might expect at university, such as CV advice and interview practice, we offer a range of work experiences, study and work abroad opportunities and bespoke employability programmes to help international students prepare for a career in the UK or overseas.
