The University of Central Lancashire
The University of Central
Lancashire traces its roots back to the Institution for the Diffusion of
Knowledge founded in Preston in 1828 and became Preston Polytechnic in 1973 and
was granted University status in 1992 when it became the University of Central
Lancashire.
It now has
around 30,000 students studying on the main campus in Preston, and other
campuses throughout Lancashire. The University has five faculties, or colleges:
the Lancashire Business School, Cultural, Legal & Social Studies, Design &
Technology, Health, and Science.
The University has extensive
computing facilities and the newly extended and refurbished Library and Learning
Resource Service provides access to national and international resources.
Student
amenities on the campus include shops, restaurants, travel, clubs and societies,
sports center, arts center and the Students' Union Building.
The university is located in the city of Preston, which is the commercial,
administrative and cultural capital of Lancashire. Preston is ideally located
with Manchester and Liverpool only one hour away, London and Glasgow under 3
hours.
Preston
is known to date from early Saxon times. It has a rich history dating back to
1179 and today is a major center of shopping, entertainment and learning. The
thriving center has everything you need. The indoor market and modern shopping
centers offer a convenient and clean environment, catering for your shopping
needs. There is also one of the best open markets in the north west.
Visitors will also be impressed by the
variety of restaurants, pubs and excellent night-life as well as the city's
premier entertainment centre, the Guild Hall & Charter Theatre.
Preston is surrounded by the
breathtaking countryside of the magnificent Lake District, which provides
excellent opportunities for many outdoor activities such as mountain biking,
sailing, climbing or just walking.
A short walk from campus finds just
about everything a student might need. But for trips further afield Preston's
public facilities are excellent and numerous. Regular buses run past the
University from all areas of the city.
