Lancaster University - Ratings, Reviews & Ranking

" It’s pretty good but there is a lack of a social scene so the clubs are a bit dead and the lectures aren’t always that good, I like that it’s a small town coz you know everyone and that makes it more fun "

" Really nice city and campus with a real sense of community, all of the staff really want to help you if you put the effort in! There are lots of ways to get involved at Lancaster I will really miss it when I am gone, I think it’s one of those places you grow to love! "

" Lancaster University consistently stands out as an institution that not only values academic excellence but also understands the needs of the modern student. I've observed firsthand how they support part-time workers, allowing them to integrate work commitments without compromising their educational pursuits. Their curricula are designed with a holistic approach; there's a noticeable emphasis on creating a harmonious balance between academics, work, and personal development. For many students today, part-time work isn't just a choice; it's a necessity. Lancaster University's commendable efforts to accommodate and support these students make a significant difference in their academic journey. The courses are thoughtfully scheduled, providing flexibility that's crucial for part-time workers. Moreover, it isn't just about work-life balance. Lancaster ensures that its academic content remains rigorous and engaging, so students receive a quality education regardless of their work commitments. By fostering an environment that champions adaptability and inclusivity, Lancaster University sets a benchmark for higher education institutions worldwide. Whether you're a student looking to gain work experience or someone trying to fund their studies, Lancaster promises a robust academic experience seamlessly blended with real-world practicalities. "

" I am satisfied with my experience in this uni in general. As a newcomer with no previous experience in living alone, I was anxious at the beginning when I first arrived, but the student ambassadors were extremely friendly and helpful. That night when I reached my accommodation, I was struggling to get my suitcase upstairs as there was no lift in the building, but thankfully, there were two neighbours who kindly reached out and helped me. After being at Lancaster uni for almost 10 months, I found that the teachers are also supportive of students and eager to help. In terms of the living situation, there are two shops here (Spar and Central) if you want to get some basic groceries. The options are limited though I think, so I would suggest taking the bus to town if you want to get more fresh food. There are also restaurants here if you are not in the mood for cooking. "

" Lancaster is a brilliant University, with a great linguistics department. The staff are friendly and approachable, and amazing researchers. Also a great place if you prefer smaller cities and nature. There's a good selection of pubs, but if you like clubbing there's only 3 options. "
