Canada

The University of Central Lancashire welcomes students from Canada. We have a large number of Canadian students currently studying with us in the UK.
We're also proud that Canada is a popular choice amongst our own UCLan students wishing to study abroad for part of their degree, which we organise via our strong links with four Canadian partner institutions - Kwantlen Polytechnic University; Ontario Institute of Technology; University of Regina and University of Winnipeg.
