Is University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) a good uni?

I'm looking at several unis and UCLan is one of them - is it a good uni?

Absolutely the worst university in the world. Staff don't care about students at all, they always pass you through different departments for a small piece of work and they waste an incredible amount of time. Lecturers don't explain anything to the students and they literally get paid for doing nothing.. students union almost never answers your emails and support has completely been neglected in this university. It is also hard to get through their old-fashioned computers and printers. Don't waste your time and money. Don't try this university. I tried it and that was the biggest regret of my life.

What course did you took there?

To be honest - no. If you have options to study elsewhere, then I would. It does, however, depend on the course you wish to study. I have had a very negative experience, a lack of help from tutors, a lack of access to decent / basic resources. It is hard to get a short-term extension for work (it should not be). Many tutors do not reply to emails and often, when they do, they pass you on to a different department, it feels like you are fighting a losing battle when trying to access basic information. Although this is not directly UCLANs fault - my three year course has been hideously impacted by strike action and it is very rare we are informed about this. Finally, I would estimate a solid 40% (that is being kind) of my lectures/ seminars have been cancelled, with no replacement of suitable material - I do not consider a recording from 2015 suitable, in 2022/23 when I am paying £9,250 a year. Having said all of this, there are some exceptions and some of the staff have been absolutely incredible with their help and responses but unfortunately are majorly let down by the majority! I am on a small course and I truly believe that is why my experience has been the way it has, as some of my friends, on bigger courses, have had positive experiences, so I would suggest doing your research based on the course you wish to study!
