Postgraduate Reviews of Courses at Lancaster University

Statistics PhD

LANCASTER UNIVERSITY

Aiden - December 2023

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.

LANCASTER UNIVERSITY

Student Reviewer - February 2023

The staff are very supportive and the campus is great. The facilities in the university are very good, it has everything you need however sometimes the cost of things such as food are higher than what I would like. The library is exceptional and support staff there are very helpful. The campus itself is very nice as it is surrounded by lovely fields, nature and animals, although it is outside of a city. My course is somewhat separate to the university as it is funded by the NHS however the university have made some issues like remote working more difficult, although the course staff are doing their best to manage this read full review

Political Ecology MA

LANCASTER UNIVERSITY

Student Reviewer - February 2023

The best aspects of my university experience are definitely the sporting ones. I have played table tennis for university for the last three years. It’s been a highlight of my time here. But the Student’s Union (and more university staff more broadly) are not paid enough by the university, meaning they’re overworked, and we see that.

There is a top quality level of teaching at Lancaster which is great read full review
