About UCLan

The University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) was founded in 1828 as the Institute for the Diffusion of Knowledge, based in Preston. ‘Ex solo ad solem’, or in translation, ‘From the Earth to the Sun’, has been its motto ever since – helping people from all walks of life to make the most of their potential is what UCLan’s all about – from ensuring the best facilities, teaching and support are in place to help undergraduate students succeed, to providing world-leading Astrophysics researchers with the opportunity to work with NASA and photograph the Sun.

Amongst its programme portfolio of some 500 undergraduate and 200+ postgraduate courses UCLan has been at the forefront of developing degrees in the emerging disciplines of Journalism, Fashion, Forensics and Sports Science. The range of excellence extends to include the likes of Pharmacy, Architecture, Astrophysics, Rescue Instruction and the first new School of Dentistry to be launched in the UK in more than a century.

A truly global institution, UCLan’s student body includes 120 nationalities; its partnership network extends to 125 countries in North America, Europe, Africa, Asia and Australasia; it runs 100+ student exchange programmes; and is already building new campuses in Cyprus and Thailand. We have links with over 36 further education colleges and specialist training organisations, delivering a wide range of higher education courses, allowing students to study locally for their HE award.

With a world class academic reputation firmly rooted in relevance, UCLan is focused on a future of providing innovative thinking – for the real world.
