To which bank address should I transfer my accommodation fee? I'm in bowland. And do I get any confirmation that the university has received my tuition fee ?

Hello,

I'm an international student from Hong Kong. I am planning to deliver some of my stuffs by airmail after the arrival day. I want to know what should I write on the address? I will be in Lonsdale.

Also, when should I pay my tuition fee?

Thanks

Hello,

I have just been confirmed by UCAS of my place at Lancaster (it was my insurance choice). I have already applied for accomodation one month ago. I was wondering, when will I find out which is my college and the place of accomodation?

Thanks

Hello

I’m wondering what the selection process if for A100 medicine? E.g how much weighting do you put on PS/UKCAT/Scottish Highers for an interview offer?

Thank you

I'm studying english literature and creative writing, and everyone has told me not to buy any books. For those who know, should I buy any books before i get there? Likewise, am i expected to have read all of the books before going to university? Any help would be much appreciated

Hi, I got a conditional offer for mphys physics with particle physics and cosmology (a*aa) but unfortunately missed the grade requirements and got abc instead. I therefore applied for bsc computer science and mathematics through clearing and got a place.

Now upon further thinking, I realise that I really want to study physics instead so i'm thinking of taking a physics module group (phys100) as a minor in addition to my major (math100 & math110). My question is would i then be able to then change my major to physics with particle physics and cosmology in part 2 providing i do well enough in my part one modules? As i see that for this, i would need to do phys100, phys110, and phys 130 in part 1.

If that is not possible, i also gather that there's a course in theoretical physics and mathematics i could do which has modules in phys100, math100, and math110 but has phys115 instead of math105 in the first year. For this i assume i would do my 2 major module groups (maths100, maths110) and 1 minor module group (phys100) and do an additional module in phys115. The problem with this method, however, is that my credit would add up to 128 which exceeds the limit of 120. Would this be possible?

If these options are not possible i am thinking of changing my course to bsc mechanical engineering. Would this be achievable in the first week of term?

Thank you

Hello,

As you mentioned there are certain prerequisite requirements in order to study certain subjects. For further advice on the possibility of switching to a Physics based course after your first year I advise speaking with the Physics department directly; You could discuss your options with them during registration week or alternatively discuss over email.

If studying Physics is not an option you could meet and discuss your options with the Engineering department in the same way, you are able to switch your course for up to the first three weeks of term.

Thank you for your answer.

Another question, what are the requirements and time frame of changing from a Bsc/BEng to a MSc/MEng/MPhys? If my A-levels are below the masters course's requirements.

Hi,

I'm studying at Lancaster University in as an undergraduate in 2014. I am commuting everyday on the train and was wondering what buses are available from the train station to the underpass at Lancaster University. Also, could you give me a rough guide of how much it costs and when I have to buy a ticket in advance by?

Thanks.

A number of buses currently serve the University/Station route, the X4 during peak times and the 3A also. It is worth noting that the bus timetables and services will possibly alter so it is advisable to check the Stagecoach website for updates. Currently a return costs £2.45, if you are making this as a regular journey it is worht considering a weekly pass or alternatively the Unirider buss pass.

Hi, I'm not using student finance. Will there be an invoice to my Lancaster payments account for my tuition fees, like I have already received for my accommodation fees? If so, when?

Hiii, you received an invoice for Accommodation? I'm also not using SF, but I haven't received an invoice yet?

I was told to bring Tuition fee payment with us abs pay it when we register.
