About us

The University of Central Lancashire is an international, multi-campus University tracing its roots back to 1828 and leading the way in modern learning today.  Our main campus is based in Preston in the north west of England, with others in Burnley, Westlakes (Cumbria) and Cyprus.

We’ve spent £200 million on transforming our Preston Campus to give it a world-class makeover. This includes a stunning brand-new Student Centre and University Square at the heart of campus, social spaces and a whole lot more.

Our new £60m Student Centre brings all the advice and support teams under one roof, providing second-to-none support. It’s a stunning space designed to support every step of the student journey. The University Square will become an exciting hub of activity, a focal point for University and community events and an iconic gateway linking together the city and the University.

Whoever you are, wherever you are in life, there’s always a way.
