Day in the Life of a UCLan Business Student

Hey! 👋

I'm Sophia and I just finished my first year at UCLan studying Business and Management. I'm here to give a general overview of what a day at UCLan is like for me.

7:30 am - Wake Up
I have my alarm set for a 7:30 wake up, which gives me plenty of time to get ready and make myself some breakfast. More importantly I have time to make some snacks for throughout the day!

8:50 am - Walk to Class
I live right on campus, so I leave just 10 minutes before my class starts! I make sure the night before that I have checked where my classes are for the day so there is no delay.

9:00 am - First Class/Workshop
Two days of the week my classes start at 9am, while on other days it's 12pm, however they always start with a workshop. In this I learn various themes and concepts related to business. These classes often include time for an open discussion since the groups are not overwhelmingly large!

12:00 pm - Lunch
Some days I go back to my accomodation and make myself some lunch, while on others I treat myself to some food and a Starbucks on campus.

1:00 pm - Second Class/Workshop
This second class normally consists of building upon the first. Sometimes we may do activities where we can apply the information we have just learnt.

3:00 pm - Go to the University Gym
Once class has ended, I will quickly go home and get changed and head to the gym. This is an excellent way to clear my mind.

5:00 pm - Head to my accomodation
Once I'm home, I normally cook dinner and relax. I often play video games or talk to my flat mates.

I'm in class 3-4 times a week and each day is has a slightly difference schedule which gives me loads of flexibility with my time.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. 😊
