Why UCLAN?

Its proud history and traditions, dating back to 1828, can be traced through its impressive architecture. Approximately 22,000 students attend UCLAN. The University offers an extensive range of academic programs.

Courses at UCLAN
In England, courses are called "modules," and "courses" often mean the same thing as "majors" in the US. Unfortunately, UCLAN does not publish its modules and their descriptions online. You must e-mail the Global Education Office for an electronic copy of the UCLAN module catalog.
Accommodations
You will pay for your accommodations directly to UCLAN shortly after you arrive. You should note that UCLAN does not offer students formal meals plans as you are accustomed to receiving in the US. Their accommodations feature shared kitchen facilities where you can store and prepare your own food. There are also restaurants on campus where you may purchase meals and pay for them each time you dine there. To check out the types of accommodations available and cost information please visit UCLAN's Accommodations Website.
Location
The large population of UCLAN students has turned Preston into an energetic city with a buzzing nightlife and a growing arts scene, surrounded by pubs, clubs, and eateries that provide worldwide cuisine to cater for every palette. There's a range of entertainment venues, including the Guild Hall and Charter Theatre, providing year round entertainment, such as major sporting events, ballet, drama, concerts and much more.
