Lancaster University

The Lancaster University campus in North West England occupies a beautiful 578-acre green site, just three miles from Lancaster City Centre. Across the campus, we offer exceptional learning facilities, from the labs and lecture theatres in our faculties, to the multi-million pound sports centre and outstanding library facilities. On joining the University you become part of Graduate College providing a student community and support. There are a vast array of other facilities on campus including shops, cafes, restaurants and hairdressers. The campus has its own nursery and family accommodation. A short bus ride or cycle will take you from our campus into the heart of Lancaster – a city full of character and culture. It’s a city without the sprawl, compact enough to walk around and small enough to hold onto a friendly personality. But there’s also everything you’d expect from a modern city, with plenty to see and do, from busy shops and a vibrant nightlife to cultural attractions and beautiful parks.

We have nine colleges and postgraduate students join Graduate College, which operates exclusively for the benefit of our postgraduate community. Graduate College offers high quality on-campus accommodation, places to study, opportunities to socialise and access to any support you may need. Our colleges offer a safe, welcoming space, where it is easy to make friends with students from many different nationalities and walks of life.

You should make your postgraduate application using our postgraduate application portal. For more information on how to apply, please visit our website.
