University of Lancashire Anmeldelser 23

Great university, having taken my under graduate, masters and now my PhD here, the support from staff, the facilities and opportunities available are fantastic. You aren't just a number and I was supported throughout by numerous members of staff when developing business ideas and initiatives aswell as getting internship opportunities within sports performance.

Having also taken a PGCE elsewhere and worked at 3 other universities since graduating, it made me realise how greatful I was to get such a fantastic experience at UCLan and not have chosen other universities.

A brilliant university, as a first year undergrad I have found it's protocol for this first year in covid times as being well organised and planned. Despite not having many face to face lessons on my practical course, I have still learnt an awful lot. I went to the summer classes to better my understanding of the filming equipment I use and thoroughly enjoyed it. I have learnt a lot more skills and have transferred from one course to the other for my last two years as the film production courses looks as though it would be a better fit for me over TV production. The tutors on both courses are brilliant and helpful.

I sat two degrees at UCLAN, an undergraduate and a postgraduate programme. The University is in my opinion vastly underrated. I sat my first degree in 2002 at and I attended the Lancashire Business School (LBS), I was awarded a 2:1. University during that time period was a somewhat questionable experience and there where many times I regretted going, this was not the fault of the University, this had more to do with the student cohort, which considering students are meant to be intelligent people, I was shocked at how they sometimes treated each other - with utter contempt, then there is the location of the University, Preston City is like many cities it has its rougher parts and more affluent areas, I have seen quite a few students being set upon and beaten up by the locals in the area surrounding the campus.The Police force like in many cities are somewhat neutered and ineffectual- they cant be relied on The University is not to blame for outside factors and unpredictable elements but this perhaps goes a long way in how the University is rated by students. In 2019 I started a post grad degree in Business Law and in 2020 I was awarded a Merit classification from the Lancashire Law School. The way students treated each other with contempt has not changed and the locals are still bad to the students. Nothing has really changed. The University is still a good place, with world class lecturers who give good teaching, and the support is there, the facilities are there, the Student Union and societies are all there. UCLAN has a lot to offer, but it's in a location where its on the doorstep of a local community that's angry and intolerant. If UCLAN had picturesque surroundings like Lancaster or Warwick I suspect the reviews and ratings would be greatly improved.
