Study at a UCLan Partner

At the University of Central Lancashire, we have been welcoming partner students for more than 30 years. On this page, you'll find a variety of information for both current and potential Partner students.

At our Partner institutions, you can study a range of UCLan courses. From HNC/Ds, foundation degrees, teacher training programmes, full honours degrees and top-up courses.

As well as having access to the facilities at your chosen Partner you'll also be able to enjoy a variety of UCLan facilities and services. Studying with a Partner means you can study for a higher education award at a location local to you. Some Partnership courses allow you to begin your studies within a Partner institution and complete them here at UCLan. While others are delivered entirely by our Partners.

As a partner student, you might have the opportunity to 'Move On' to UCLan to complete your programme or to study for a higher qualification. For example, you can top up a HNC/D or a foundation degree to an honours degree at the University.
