The University of Central Lancashire was founded in 1828, and its long history means you would be joining an institution with deep roots in English higher education. The university is based in England, and its campus is in Preston, where students live, learn and take part in university life.

With 28,850 students, the University of Central Lancashire is home to a large and varied community. For an international student, this means the chance to meet people from many different backgrounds and to find others who share your interests, both in your studies and outside the classroom.

The university offers study at several levels, so it can support you at different stages of your education. You can choose undergraduate courses if you are starting your first degree, or postgraduate taught programmes if you want to deepen your knowledge in a chosen field. For those drawn to independent enquiry, postgraduate research is also available, offering the opportunity to carry out your own in-depth study in Preston.
