The university boasts modern infrastructure, including the Engineering Innovation Centre (EIC), state-of-the-art libraries, and dedicated labs for various disciplines.

My daughter has been admitted to UCLan this year. She was so excited and happy until we got there on the first day and got the keys to her room in the campus. When we went to see the living room we found out that someone had been living there and the room was in totally unacceptable condition.
Things got even worse when my daughter went to take a shower and realised that there was no hot water. After that she tried to bake a pizza and WOW: The oven is NOT working.
Central heating is not working either.
So all her excitement disappeared in 2 hours.
One of students from this facility emailed the staff to tell them about all their problems but still no response.
I’m very happy that she is taking shower with COLD water and cannot prepare food herself and stays in the cold room 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
And I pay over £5000 for this.

The veterinary building has spent the evening undergoing some sort of work which is loud and unreasonable, and is outside of the council's permitted hours. The person at the gate to the site was rude and unable to give any information about how long it will go on for. Others have complained about this and yet nothing has been done by the university to communicate with those who live nearby and explain the pattern of work or give warnings. Here is a warning for potential students, UCLan does not care about you, they only care for your money.

UCLan prioritises its greed over the wellbeing of its students. The construction of the vet school has consistently broken the promises that were made to local residents. 7 days a week there is loud activity on the site, always before 8am. Even on Sunday's where no noisy work should be undertaken. I guess they don't consider their paying students to be local residents and therefore don't care that they are disturbed every day of the week. It is either blatant disregard for students or seriously poor planning that has led to UCLan allowing this work 7 days a week.
Numerous complaints have already been made at several stages of the construction, yet immediately in the new year it was back to loud weekend work. Ah, but they don't work when there are open/offer holder days though, they wouldn't want to put off any potential students would they..

Solid education, but left unprepared for the real world.
While I deeply appreciate the technical knowledge and dedication of my professors in teaching media fundamentals, editing techniques, and theory, I find myself in a bittersweet position writing this review. The quality of instruction was excellent - I learned how to edit videos perfectly, write compelling stories, and understand media theory at a deep level. My tutors were passionate and knowledgeable, always willing to help perfect our projects and explore creative ideas.

However, there's a glaring gap between what we learned and what the industry actually needs. Nobody taught us how to monetize our skills in today's fragmented media landscape. We weren't prepared for the reality that traditional media jobs are disappearing, while new opportunities require entrepreneurial skills we never learned. There was no guidance on building a sustainable freelance career, pricing our services, finding clients, or adapting to rapid market changes.

I graduated with a polished portfolio but no idea how to make a living from it. We should have had courses on business fundamentals, personal branding, and the economics of modern media. Instead of just teaching us to create perfect content, we needed to learn how to survive in an industry where traditional employment is shrinking and everyone needs to be their own business manager.

This disconnect between excellent technical education and complete lack of market preparation feels especially painful now, watching many talented classmates struggle to find sustainable work in media.

P.S. It was in 2015

My treatment here at this UK University quite frankly was disgusting ! As a UK Passport holder and British Citizen all my life I have been made to feel completely unwelcome after studying extremely hard!

Please see my review on Trustpilot after spending the majority of my time at UCLAN then Chester with no explanation whatsoever after being on-course for a first class degree.

Please see my review on Trustpilot .
I shall be leaving this review on every University in the World.

I have also never ever been employed by any government in the world.

During my journey through the BA (Hons) top-up year at level 6 in Professional Floristry and Floral Design, I have experienced a remarkable enhancement in both my floristry skills and academic excellence. The floristry tutors are all immensely talented and experienced, with years of experience in the industry. Given my experience, I highly recommend pursuing the BA (Hons) in Professional Floristry and Floral Design degree.
