Lancaster University (reviews)

A number of specific professors in particular stood out to me. The experience they had within their fields of marketing, the knowledge they were able to share in their specific modules and the way they spoke about the subject and made it engaging and easy to understand by giving creative explanations and demonstrating concepts and ideas through interesting examples. This was the highlight of my time at Lancaster. I also found that a lot of the modules on offer were unique, or were taught in unique ways with unique coursework, to other universities. I like this about Lancaster because it has given me experiences, knowledge and the opportunity to apply knowledge to different real-life situations that I would not get at other universities, which makes me feel as if I can offer something different to others. The key thing I didn’t like about marketing at Lancaster was that some of the lectures and workshops/seminars themselves felt almost useless. Some lectures had professors reading almost entirely from the powerpoint and not adding anything to the lectures through them talking, meaning that lots of students stopped attending lectures as they realised they could just do them at home. If these lecturers added additional insights, or examples, explanations, definitions, coursework tips and generally made the lectures more engaging so students could contribute within them more easily then people would keep attending. Similar issues arose in some workshops/seminars, as they didn’t really feel like they added anything to the module, but were rather just an additional, ungraded task to complete. If they were better at adding insights, explaining concepts, giving help/advice on coursework and providing tasks/activities within them that genuinely engaged students then attendance would have been significantly higher and students would feel that they have gained something valuable from them that will help in coursework, understanding and that they can bring into their careers.

It is good for various courses and yes I would recommend to others. The professors are very in-depth with their teaching and always willing to offer assistance. The campus is massive and comes with various races so you’ll fit in well.

My programme has significantly expanded my understanding of the business world. Through opportunities such as competitions, interactive projects, and coursework, I’ve been able to develop both my practical skills and confidence in applying what I’ve learned.
However, one area that could be improved is communication. At times, important information is said to have been shared but doesn’t always reach students, which can be frustrating and makes it harder to stay fully informed.

do NOT do psychology here, it is an absolute stressful nightmare from the start… you wont just be doing psychology, youll be doing coding too and computer science stuff. Because you definitely signed up for and wanted that too right??? wrong. its traumatic.

even the other modules, are not it. i do not know how it got rated so high. I am a few months off finishing my course, but i have been crying about it since my first week in. I should have dropped out. i could sense how awful it was about to be. So seriously, consider your other options!!!!

The staff are also extremely insensitive and unkind, especially when you are having issues (e.g., illness, family death, etc). I was told it is no excuse to not come into uni… excuse me!!

Please, please, please do not do psychology at Lancaster Uni.
