As a top 10 UK university and a leader in transnational education, Lancaster University proudly welcomes 29,000 students from over 130 countries and has research partnerships around the world.

Founded on the principle that education is for everyone, Lancaster University encourage and facilitate students to join us through many learning routes in the UK and globally; recognising the importance of learning from foundation and undergraduate levels to continuing professional development.

Lancaster is always looking to extend its research partnerships and networks among academics internationally, to broaden and deepen understanding of people, cultures and opportunities for innovation and solutions. We take a holistic view on issues, bringing together different expert perspectives.

We work with parliamentarians, civil servants and national and international policymakers to support evidence-based policies and legislation in critical areas such as marine conservation, end-of-life care, sustainable energy and financial standards.

Providing our students with a sense of belonging has been a key element of the Lancaster experience. Students joining us in Lancaster become part of one of the College families from the moment they arrive and keep that connection long after they graduate.

The key to our success is creating impact through collaboration; working together to develop students, businesses and places to thrive. We have our roots in the historic city of Lancaster, but our connections span the north-west of England and to our partnerships in China, Germany, Ghana, Indonesia and Malaysia.
