LANCASTER UNIVERSITY

Student Reviewer - February 2023

Offering the impressive intellectual and technical resources of a prestigious research university, Lancaster provides me the confidence of knowing that I am getting the most forward-focused education in Data Science. Apart from excellent educational infrastructure, the extensive curriculum, top-class teaching methodology, and emphasis on cultural and ethnic diversity are some of the many reasons that I find Lancaster University a great place to study.

LANCASTER UNIVERSITY

Student Reviewer - February 2023

Brilliant facilities, and located by a beautiful city with easy access to the lake district. However, it's not the most vibrant place, and not much is done to promote a vibrant student life. read full review

History MA

LANCASTER UNIVERSITY

Student Reviewer - November 2021

I had a good time at university, meeting new people and experiencing new ways of studying.

Largely this was simply meeting other students, for which limited space and activities via which to do this were offered. I simply had to talk to students outside of lectures, or over group chats.

This year was a heavy financial burden. We were told to work for 30 hours or more per week on our MAs. If I had followed this advice strictly, I'd have had no time for work, and financial support offered by student loans and by the university is not nearly enough to cover the difference.

Parking at the university was expensive. £2 for 2 hours, but lectures were 2 hours long so we had to pay for all day, for either £3, including a long walk with our laptops and books, or £5 if you decided it would be more sociable to not be sweaty and smelly by the time you got to the lecture hall. Student parking should be subsidised from the exorbitant fees we paid.

There are parking permits offered for a significant discount - if you parked every day, all year. We had no idea if we were going to be on campus in any new month due to Covid changes. This was not Lancaster's fault, but again, we were not offered sufficient alternative.

I'm also still very bitter about having been charged £15 for the privilege of being a 'member' of the graduate college. A membership I had no choice in, and was simply charged for being a post-graduate student. This was supposed to help pay for upkeep and events. There were no events until the end of year party, which tickets were individually charged for. read full review

Geography PhD

LANCASTER UNIVERSITY

Student Reviewer - October 2020

Terrible place. It's a business, not a university. No academic community as such. It has a good sales pitch and says the right things on its webpage but don't be fooled by that. ......,...... Look at other options. read full review
