Criminology degrees in North West England

The university is very supportive and very helpful. There is many ways you can meet people and this can be done through events the university holds and the event societies in the university hold. There’s many ways to make connections with business and further your connections

Austin hall needs a fresh up it is too old and definitely shows its age. Food at Fresh Hope could be better. The chicken sandwich at our place is the worse chicken I have ever had. Wish I was closer to the city center.

I think the support is great. The course is good however I personally do not enjoy the lectures in third year. I feel the atmosphere is great and the library is a lovely place to study. My only complaint is that parking is quite limited as you have to arrive 1-2hours before just make sure you have time to find a space.

The best aspect of my university experience has been the practical and future-focused nature of my course. Studying Managing AI in Business has helped me understand how AI applies to real business problems, which aligns well with my background in accounting and my career goals. I also appreciate the supportive lecturers and the diversity of students, which makes discussions more insightful and global. However, one area that could be improved is communication and organisation around assessments and feedback timelines, as clearer guidance would reduce student uncertainty. Additionally, more hands-on workshops, industry guest speakers, and career support specifically for international postgraduate students would enhance the learning experience even further. Overall, it is a good place to study, especially for students interested in combining business with emerging technologies, but stronger academic support and more practical engagement opportunities would make it even better.

The staff and students around the campus are always so welcoming and friendly. It really makes me enjoy where I’m studying. I think something that could be improved is the university’s response to student based issues.

Lancaster University is a great place to study because its smaller campus and city size create a strong sense of community that is often harder to find at larger UK universities. While Lancaster may be smaller than many institutions, this is actually one of its greatest strengths. The campus environment and the close-knit nature of the city foster a safe, welcoming space where genuine friendships are formed and meaningful communities develop. This sense of belonging makes it easier for students to settle in, feel supported, and engage fully with university life. Alongside this community feel, Lancaster offers a high standard of education. Lecturers are passionate and approachable, teaching is research-led, and there are valuable opportunities for academic development and independent research. The university provides a supportive environment in which students are encouraged to grow not only academically, but also professionally and personally. I have consistently felt supported throughout my studies, including during my year abroad on placement, where I remained connected to the university community despite being away. If there is one area for improvement, it would be ensuring that any changes to curricula or modules are more directly informed by student input. While it is understood that final decisions sit with the university, students should be central to discussions about module content and structure, as we are the primary recipients of the teaching. Feedback on the success, relevance, and impact of modules should play a key role in shaping academic offerings. Overall, I have had a very positive experience at Lancaster University and feel that it provides a balanced, inclusive, and supportive environment that enables students to thrive.

Student life in this university is really enjoyable! I have found the student events to be the most enjoyable and I have made alot of friends through these events. The one thing i dont love about the university is the location, whilst we are close to a big city, its further away than i realised when i applied for it. Making social nights out that little bit harder. I also feel like theres not much social activities to do in Ormskirk overall.

I love the well integrated teaching modules aligning with the current employability trend and measures in the organisational world. However. the faculty members can be improved with lecturers on the same array of discipline

The best aspects are the student union and the facilities available. I think it could be improved if we had more books generally available at the library without requiring click and collect, since right now the library feels like a study space but not a real library.
