Let’s study for more than a degree.
Let’s study for our future. UCLan is more than just a university. Its ethos right from the very start has been to help talented people from all walks of life to make the most of their potential. It is where like-minded individuals come to be part of something much bigger than gaining a qualifi cation. It is a vibrant community offering outstanding learning opportunities, through a shared experience, with the encouragement, support and reassurance of peers and friends. It’s doing all of it. Our open days are an ideal
opportunity to visit our friendly campus and fi nd out what the city of Preston and the town of Burnley have to offer. There’s nothing quite like a visit to campus to explore our university, talk to academics and students and get a real feel for studying in Preston and Burnley.
