 WELCOME TO THE

to compete among the leading
universities in the world.
UCLan offers international students a superlative
student experience through an unrivalled
combination of high-quality teaching, personal

staff of this ambitious university, and you can read

WELCOME FROM
THE MAYOR OF PRESTON
I am pleased to welcome you to
Preston where UCLan lies at the
heart of our city. The university
and the city centre are both
undergoing great change and
major investment. As Mayor I work
closely with UCLan to promote,
cultural, business and education
links with Preston.
I first became a councillor in 1987 and have spent
over thirty years in public life working for the
people of Central Lancashire. As Mayor I work
with charities, businesses, places of education,
faith groups and individuals and try to promote
the virtues of our wonderful city across the country
and indeed the world. This is a fantastic role for
someone as passionate about Preston as I am.

In welcoming you to our city, I hope you enjoy your

time with us. I came to live in Preston when I was
22 and have never wanted to leave. If and when
you leave us, I hope you will be able to take good
memories of your time in Preston.

COUNCILLOR DAVID BORROW

Mayor of Preston 2019/20

 Anirudha Singh Bhadoria, India BSc (Hons) Medical Sciences

“Preston is an appealing, student-friendly city that is safe with low crime rates because
it is smaller than some other major cities in the UK. The mobility to other places here
is good; there’s connectivity with London and all other major places via train. Since
arriving last September, I have visited Manchester, Liverpool, London and Edinburgh.”

THE CITY OF PRESTON

Situated in the heart of the North West of England, in the county

of Lancashire, the city of Preston is vibrant, cultural and friendly city.
The city has a very long history, being given the status of a market town
in 1179; and obtaining city status in 2002, becoming England’s 50th city
in the 50th Year of the reign of Queen Elizabeth II.

Lancashire is well known for its national position

in relation to aerospace, advanced engineering
and manufacturing; energy; and higher education,
making it an important part of economic growth in
the north, referred to as the Northern Powerhouse.

Located a short distance from the coastline, the

Lake District, and the larger cities of Manchester
and Liverpool, both of which have international
airports; Preston is also one of the most networked
cities in the country.

Come and see for yourself by watching our Preston

Preston conceals many interesting facts and achievements...

- home to the tallest spire of any parish church in England
- has the longest continuous row of red telephone boxes
- the Preston by-pass was Britain’s first motorway
- the first KFC restaurant in the UK opened in Preston in 1965

‘It is very convenient from university to go to the city centre. It’s easy to go out and
go shopping. The library is great, I can find a lot of information in my subject area.
Open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. There is also a free dance class in the gym,
which is very interesting. When I first arrived in the UK, I encountered a lot of
problems. The staff inside <i> helped me a lot, and my questions were all answered
there. The dormitory environment is super good, and it is very convenient to take the
parcel in the management office. I recommend that my schoolmates come to study
this major because of the opportunity to practice and participate in real projects.”

THE UCLAN JOURNEY FROM 1828 TO NOW

UCLan’s history dates back to 1828, when, at the very first open
meeting of the Institution for the Diffusion of Knowledge, Thomas
Addison (its first President) expressed his wish that one day Preston
would have its own university. After many developments and name
changes, on 1 September 1992 that became a reality and the Lancashire
Polytechnic became known as the University of Central Lancashire.

Today UCLan is a thriving community of around
38,000 students and staff and our alumni make up
a worldwide family of over 180,000 people. We
are in the top 6% of Universities in the world* and
UCLan was the first modern~ university to enter
the QS World Rankings**. We have been awarded
the maximum five stars for the quality of teaching;
facilities; employability; internationalisation; social
responsibility and inclusiveness.
We now have an extensive international presence
with approximately 125 partners worldwide
and welcoming students from over 85 different
countries to the Preston Campus.
This expansion of facilities continues today with
the newly opened Oasis Faith and Spirituality
Centre along with the new Engineering
Innovation Centre, and the planned Civic Square
and Student Centre, which is underway.

WHAT DO OUR STUDENTS SAY ABOUT UCLAN?

Drahoslava Machova, Czech Republic

BA (Hons) History & Education and MRES History

“One thing I did not expect and that really surprised me was
the support and motivation offered by the lecturers at UCLan;
they are very friendly and outgoing. They are extremely
understanding, especially with English being my second
language. The lecturers helped to push me and enabled me
to overcome barriers.”

Brian Aine, Uganda

Medicine (Bachelor of Medicine Bachelor of Surgery)
MBBS - Fourth Year

“I chose UCLan because it offered me the opportunity to learn a

new culture; I think that’s important for a Doctor, understanding
different people around the world. I really liked that the
Medicine course has a small cohort size, which is perfect for
international students because we sometimes need that extra
attention – other universities cohorts were too big and I’d have
felt lost in the crowd.”

Chaitanya Madhav, India

BSc (Hons) Software Engineering (Alumnus 2018)

“I applied to lots of different universities directly but chose

UCLan due to its convenient location for exploring the rest of
the UK and good transport links, cheap cost of living, strong
opportunities for employment in the North West for Engineering
and that Preston is not over saturated with students unlike some
other urban University cities.”

UCLAN STUDY OPPORTUNITIES OVERSEAS

The British University of Cyprus is set in a modern,
purpose–built University campus with state-of-
the-art academic and operational facilities, with

designed to reproduce not only the look and
effect of a real court room, but the courtrooms of
the future.
Students at the campus can reserve a room in the
luxury University accommodation available on site.
THERE IS NOW A STUDENT BODY OF
OVER 1000 STUDENTS AT THE CAMPUS,
ENROLLED ON ITS ALMOST 30 DEGREE
PROGRAMMES.
13
 Giordana Failla, Italy BA (Hons) English with Modern Languages

“I have been a part of the Erasmus Student Network since my second year and I am
now Communications Manager, Secretary and a Local Rep. We have gained over
100 members for the first time at UCLan and meeting new people from all over the
world is so rewarding! One of my dearest friends is from China and she visited me
one summer in Italy and we stay in contact now – this has been the most special part
of being an international student at UCLan.”

14

Paul Cyriac, India MSc Oil and Gas Engineering with Professional Placement

“The style of education in the UK is quite different in comparison to the Indian

system. Here it is more practical, and assignment based which gives a deeper
understanding of the subject.

I have done my placement with Total UK, which was one of the biggest turning
points in my life because Total is a giant player in the oil and gas industry.
Furthermore, the UK work experience is very reputable and will add value to my
career prospects alongside my master’s degree at UCLan.”

Pagnol Michelle Yanou, Cameroon PhD – Investment Law

“Living in the traditional city of Preston means the cost of living is a lot less
than London, for example. In the UK the currency difference to Cameroon
is huge, so it’s good to live in a smaller, more affordable city. There are
low living costs, lots of facilities, you can walk everywhere and UCLan is
developing all the time – so it’s a great place to be.”

“The support from Tutors and Professors is amazing; they always reply instantly
when needed and they are understanding. The support of my Course Leader
has been a standout experience at UCLan so far, he has gone beyond his
means to help me even though he’s so busy. Most students on my course
are international, so the Professor organised an excursion for us to visit Public
Health England – this wasn’t part of the course, just something extra for us to
understand the course better.”

Saleem Mohammed Ghazwi, Jordan LLB (Hons) Law

“Before my course at UCLan I undertook the ONCAMPUS Foundation Pathway.

When I first arrived I found the staff there very welcoming and they explained to me
everything I needed to know. I needed to improve my language level, particularly
my writing due to English and Arabic being completely different. This foundation
programme helped me to do this and also helped me to settle into university life in
the UK - it is very useful to give you an understanding of what is expected from you
at university level, such as, plagiarism, academic essay writing and other types of
assessments. It helped me to improve my English level and my confidence in studying
in a new country.”
