"It is our strong ambition to make Lancaster ISC a "Centre of Excellence"- fully committed to provide the best possible preparation for your studies at the University".
Lancaster University is a prestigious institution; it is one of the best universities in Britain, known and respected throughout the world for academic excellence. The campus is located just south of the city of Lancaster, at Bailrigg. Lancaster is a charming city, with an abundance of historic buildings, a cathedral, canal-side water holes, and a vibrant high street. The distinctive grey and red of the University logo – based on the spire of the University Chaplaincy Centre – relate to the traditional ‘Red Rose’ of Lancaster and the ‘Quaker Gray’ society. The International Study Centre, where you will be based, is next to the main campus and set amid picturesque surroundings in an Elizabethan building constructed in 1900. On a clear day the view extends north to the hills of the Lake District and west across Morecambe Bay. The green and peaceful surroundings provide an ideal location in which to study, and with the city next door you have best of both worlds!
The Lancaster International Study Centre offers an ideal way for students to begin their studies in the UK. The University currently has students from over hundred countries around the world, making your student experience truly international. You will be part of the University from the day you start your course, with access to first class facilities for teaching, research, sports and leisure. An automatic membership of the student’s union along with ample social opportunities will ensure you have plenty to do.
Joining the Lancaster ISC guarantees that you will receive a conditional offer of a degree place at the University. During the Foundation Programme year you will also have the opportunity to meet some of the Link tutors, who are lecturers at the University. Your Link tutor will teach you on your undergraduate degree course, and answer any questions you may have on your degree choice. These tutors, together with the ISC team of language and subject specialists, will help you as much as possible and make sure you have the support you need to progress to the degree of your choice. We will constantly monitor your progress through regular assessments, to keep you on the right course for your university study.
The ISC team looks forward to welcome you and being a part of fulfilling your dreams.
Hope to see you soon!
