Official Lancaster Uni Offer Holders Thread 2025 entry

Hello. My son has an offer for Maths and is looking forward to the offer holders day. He can’t find any details about the timings for the day (and neither can I). Typically when do the days start? We are travelling from Kent so need to plan ahead a little bit.

Hi,
Here is the page for the Mathematical Sciences offer holders.
To make it easier the date are as follows:

With the program being as follows:

I can't say for certain how the Maths department runs their days as I'm a computer Science student however I can tell you that the computer science offer holders follow a schedule from 11 till 4 but between 9 and 11 they will have the opportunity to have campus and accommodation tours, speak to student societies, colleges, careers and global experience teams to name a few and get a better feel for the campus itself before they learn more about the department and experiences within the degree itself and what to expect from the course.
I would assume this is similar for Maths and details should be sent out but in the meantime if you did want to ask please do contact [email protected], stating your sons name, UCAS ID and course, and they'll be able to advise!
From working as an Ambassador on Offer Holder Days, applicants are usually collected from the learning zone, subject dependent, between 10.30 and 11.30 and taken to their first "station" for the day, typically a welcome lecture or talk. But like mentioned above from 9am there are tours, general talks and opportunities to explore the campus and more about the non-academic side of the university. This is optional and you can pick and choose what you see or go to but if you were wanting to do this then getting to campus for 9am would be recommended so you can fit everything in before you start the departmental side of the day.
Hope this helps, Ella - Lancaster University Student Ambassador

Hi there,
I also have an offer from Lancaster for Computer Science next year and have had a look for offer holder days.
I found this on their website here, however it doesn't contain any specific details, although it does mention that offer holders should sent an invitation in due course.
If you are travelling from Kent (I'm from the Isle of Man so need to plan a bit too) probably aim for the day in March or April, in terms of timings it may be similar to the open days which I believe were open between 9am and 4pm on a Saturday.
Hopefully this helps a little bit

That’s super helpful. Thanks. Will find a local hotel methinks.

Hi,
I'm a 3rd year computer science student.
Letters are being sent out to offer holders with details of their offers and offer holder days and how to book so do keep an eye out on your post!
The dates are as follows:

The schedule for the day is yet to be finalised however as an ambassador for the course I can give you a run through of the last offer holder day. As mentioned in my response above, between 9 and 11 there was the opportunity to go on a campus tour and accommodation tour to get a better feel for the campus and living spaces. At the same time there was talks and staff available to speak to about fees and funding, global experiences, the student union, mental health and well being etc. Between 11 and 11.30 registration took place followed by the welcome talk from 11.30 till 12.15. Then Lunch was provided between 12.15 and 1. The experience talk then took place between 1.15 and 2. At this stage applicants and their guardians were split with the applicants going on to have a teaching taster section 2 till 3 followed by lab tours and demos 3.30. Guardians had lab tours and demos 2 till 2.45 and then a Q and A session with academic staff. Finally from 3.30 till 4, applicants and guardians had the opportunity for refreshments (coffee and cake!) and to ask any other questions they may have.
If you follow this link School of Computing and Communications - Lancaster University you will find more information as well as a sample schedule for the day so do check that out! There is also a link on this page to book onto the offer holder day so if you have a date in mind then do book onto that!
Hope this helps and any questions be that about the university or the course I'm more than happy to help!

Hey!
I got an offer for Cyber Security with Industrial Experience and I'm currently taking Computer Science, Psychology, Mathematics and Further Mathematics. It would be nice to meet other CS-based applicants as well 😁

Hi, I got an offer for Computer Science too, currently taking Computer Science, Maths and History 😎

Hi! I'm currently doing A levels Law, Psychology and Sociology I got an offer for Lancaster for the course law. I got the offer AAB and planning to firm it(so they will reduce it down to ABB). If it goes bad on results day and get BBB, would my place at the uni go or would they still consider me?

I have an offer holder day for film, media, and cultural studies. The information said that we would get an email for booking but nothing has come through; what should I do? I have emailed Lancaster a few times but their has been no response.
Do you know what will happen during the day their?
Also, will adults and children be able to stay together or separated? I have separation anxiety and would like my mum to stay close. X

Hi @Anonymous #2
Some other emails that may help are [email protected] or [email protected]
You should get an itinerary of the day when you book it (you can also ask the emails above for it) and a physical copy on the day which will let you know what's happening.
There will be campus tours and accommodation tours you can go on to have a look around and get a feel of the uni. Additionally you usually have a tour of your department, some talks about what your course involves and a Q&A session with current students (check with your department for specifics). Your parents are welcome on campus and to attend the talks alongside yourself as the offer holder too 🙂 most prospective students come along with their parents.
Hope that helps,

Hi, I'm applying to Biomedical Science and attending the open day on 8th Feb! Is it fine for both of my parents to attend with me or can only one come? I would definitely be much more comfortable if both could attend, thank you either way ☺️
