Lancaster University

The campus is very useful with walking distances and options but construction work takes a while which blocks a few paths off so makes the walk a lot longer

Great campus, lecturers, and accommodation - the ideal uni experience. Only complaints would be lecture locations can be a bit spread out sometimes, and some lectures happen a bit too late in the evening.

Umm the nightlife is a big bummer but the best would be the library and the calm location of lancaster and the friendly atmosphere.

The support I receive from my department is exceptional. As a PhD student, I have a shared office and a laptop provided and I can email any of the staff with any queries or issues I have and they will be resolved very quickly. The campus has improved quite substantially since I did my undergraduate degree here and in a. positive way. The location of the university is great with easy access to Manchester, the Lake District, and the Peak District. There are numerous student activities one can partake in giving a great breadth of choice. The elected officers in the Students' Union (SU) are exceptional and do care about student welfare. The salaried members of the SU give the impression that they don't care about student welfare. Last year I captained a sports team and had to raise a complaint with the SU. The SUs handling of the complaint was abysmal from start to finish. If I didn't push the complaint nothing would have been done. I sat down with the SU to explain this and they were receptive and started to implement changes but I am unsure if these have come to fruition yet.

Having done a previous degree at Lancaster I cannot rave more about it, I love the college environment! Coming back a little older to Graduate College helps you feel part of a community still whilst studying a postgrad qualification. My course has been amazing in terms of understanding and extending deadlines, returning feedback quickly and checking in on all students personally! The staff genuinely get to know each student and seem to care. Most of the teaching has been of great quality and it’s been wonderful to here lecturers talk about topics they are really passionate about!
