Moving On

Many of the UCLan courses run in our partner institutions provide opportunities either to complete your programme of study, or to study for a higher qualification with UCLan.

What are the benefits of Moving On?

Familiarity: Whether you continue your course in a partner or at UCLan, your awarding body and assessment marking regulations are the same. You will also likely be familiar with the teaching staff supporting your top up course.

Confidence: Students tell us they are more confident when they begin their studies at UCLan’s Preston/Burnley Campus, because studying in a partner has prepared them for University life.

Experience: If you choose to Move On to UCLan’s Preston Campus, you will be able to gain the full university experience, and will have the great facilities available at your fingertips!

Around 400 students choose to move on to UCLan courses each year and you could become one of these. To look at possible options for further study see the Moving On Guide (link to the guide) and search for your current course.
