The Lancaster approach

A rigorous approach
- committing to the highest standards

At Lancaster we seek to give our students the best experience through the best staff, the best services and the best facilities. In research and teaching, we are one of the top universities in the UK. The University is also ranked joint 1st in the North of England, (6th in the UK) for overall student satisfaction following the first ever National Student Survey in 2005. The University has had winners of the National Teaching Fellowship Scheme six years in a row.

A flexible approach
- creating a dynamic learning environment

The flexibility of our courses, and of our institution in general, enable you to achieve both personal development and development of your subject. At Lancaster, we encourage all our students and scholars from different areas to work together to create work of a radical nature.

A practical approach
- putting great ideas into action

We develop our ideas into action which is why Lancaster is an increasingly popular choice amongst students and employers. We educate our students to be problem solvers. Few universities provide such an insight into contemporary issues, such as in the areas of management, the environment, and information and communications technology. Few give their students so many opportunities to interact with the world outside through placements and team-based learning.

A friendly approach
- ensuring a supportive community

At Lancaster, we place great value on building and nurturing our community of support and mutual respect. This extends to teachers and staff just as much as students. Lancaster is one of only 5 universities in Britain to have a college student accommodation system. The others are Oxford, Cambridge, Durham and York. Our college structure plays a key part in fostering the sense of community which is unique to Lancaster. Every student is a member of one of our colleges and benefits from a close-knit, friendly and democratic community.

And the result:
Successful graduates

The result of our special approach to teaching and learning is that graduates of Lancaster go on to achieve great success in their careers. Leading firms know that a degree from Lancaster means prospective employees don't just have exceptional analytical and problemsolving skills but, crucially, the ability to apply these skills to practical, real-world situations.
