University of Lancaster

Lancaster University campus occupies a beautiful 560-acre parkland site and is proud to be one of only a handful of UK universities with a collegiate system. We have nine colleges in total, and every student belongs to a college, whether you live on campus or choose to commute. The colleges are individual, inclusive and diverse communities, offering a range of facilities and services. Your college is where your first friendships are formed - your university family. Speak to any Lancaster graduate, and it's likely they ask which college you belong to before they ask what you're studying.

"The main reason I chose the United Kingdom was the language. Because all communication was in English; teaching, local students, Erasmus friends and random people you talk to in shops/bars/supermarkets my English improved massively!"
