What is the University of Lancashire website?

lancashire.ac.uk is the official website of the University of Lancashire, a UK university founded in 1828 and recognised in the QS World Rankings. Use it to explore courses, book open days, find campus and accommodation information, and access student support and arrival guidance. It is the primary source for prospective and current students rather than a course-listing aggregator.

What you can do on the site

The homepage is organised around a few clear tasks:

• Find your course – search by keyword, or browse Courses A–Z, Undergraduate, Postgraduate, and Subjects.
• Book an open day – the next Preston Open Day is listed as Sunday 11 October, with travel discounts available and up to £50 towards travel costs for prospective students.
• Read welcome and arrival information – guidance for new and returning students, including January and mid-year start options.
• Explore campuses – Preston, Burnley, Westlakes, and a satellite campus in Cyprus, with campus tours available.
• Check student stories and news – videos and updates, including subject rankings and travel support announcements.

Key facts stated on the site

Who it is for

• Prospective students comparing courses, entry routes, and open day dates.
• Offer holders and new students looking for arrival, welcome, and mid-year start information.
• Commuter students – the site has a dedicated section for those living at home.
• Anyone researching the institution who wants official figures rather than third-party summaries.

Practical notes before you use it

Course search works by keyword, so start with a subject term rather than a full question. Open day places are booked through the site, and travel support is described as a limited contribution toward travel costs, so check the current terms on the relevant page. Accommodation guarantees and rankings are stated for specific years and campuses, so confirm they still apply to your intake before relying on them.
