Our collegiate Choosing your college

advantage The following descriptions aim to give you an idea of the character of each of the
colleges but you can find out more by visiting the colleges’ individual web pages.

Lancaster is one of only a handful of UK universities –

including Oxford, Cambridge, Durham and York – that
operate a collegiate system where you live and socialise
with members of your college. Colleges are one of the most
distinctive and valued features of Lancaster University.
What they say...

College benefits Most of our college communities have

Our college system gives you the benefit
of studying at a large internationally-
focused university whilst being part of a
small, friendly community where it’s easy
to make new friends with students from
about 1,000 members, including resident
and non-resident undergraduates and
staff. All students also have a college
personal advisor and you graduate with
your college, rather than your department.
Cartmel College

the UK and abroad. College life What they say...

All prospective students choose to join
one of our eight undergraduate colleges.
Each one is an individual community with
its own identity, administration, student
executive, social scene and facilities. By
getting involved in the running of your
college, you can also turn college life into a
valuable CV asset.
The colleges also work with our Careers
Service to provide support for the
Lancaster Award, the inter-college
enterprise competition, and to host events
where you can talk to recent college
alumni about their careers since leaving
the University.
A great mix
The colleges are a lively, welcoming and
diverse community. You will meet students
in your college studying a wide range of
subjects and within your department you
will meet members from other colleges.
It’s a great way to develop friendships
across campus.
As well as a ready-made social network,
each college offers accommodation,
welfare support and leisure facilities,
including its own bar and Wi-Fi enabled
social spaces. The colleges run major
social events for their members and you
will have the opportunity to represent your
college in various sports.
When you choose
After your exam results we’ll confirm your
place and ask you to choose your college.
If you plan to live on campus, you’ll choose
your accommodation at the same time.

Our alumni
Where will your degree from Lancaster take you? From business to media, art
to politics, sport to education, more than 130,000 Lancaster graduates play
influential roles in more than 170 countries around the world. Here’s a small
selection of stories.
Sam Hodges
(English, 1999, Pendle)
The moment young BBC publicist
Sam Hodges overheard an idea being
discussed by his bosses for a pro-
celebrity dancing series hosted by Bruce
Forsyth, he attempted to merge with the
office furniture and prayed the job of
publicising it would not come his way. Of
course, Strictly Come Dancing became
his project, and over two series he made
it into an entertainment sensation which
he loved. It is an irony that Hodges greatly
enjoys from his current position as Head
of Communication for BBC Television.
“I went to Lancaster a bit shy, but it
was the right environment for me to
grow. What really struck me was the
nature of the relationships that existed
between students and teachers, which
made it OK to discuss, challenge
and debate with a person who was in
authority. In a big company like the
BBC, that is vital.”
Alan Milburn
(History, 1979, Pendle)
Alan admits that he ‘got lucky’ in finding
his way to Lancaster University from one
of the most deprived comprehensives in
Newcastle, which set him on the path to a
top job in the Labour Cabinet.
The social mobility czar, former Health
Secretary and Labour MP, finds it difficult
to imagine how he could have made the
leap from being a 16-year-old tearaway
with poor O levels, to his current position,
without the help of Lancaster University.
Alan currently chairs the European
Advisory Board for Bridgepoint (a
private equity group) and runs his own
consultancy, advising governments
worldwide.
Alan is currently the University’s Chancellor.
For more information please visit www.lancaster.ac.uk
“Lancaster University was my
foundation for the whole of my
working life and career. The skills
I learned there - of being rigorous,
analytical and understanding how to
make a judgement call - were
important in my political life, and still
are in the work I do today in child
poverty and social mobility.”
Caroline Rookes
(English, 1975, Furness)
Caroline remembers how Lancaster gave
her the independence and communication
skills to rise to the top as Chief Executive
of the Government’s Money Advice
Service.
Caroline arrived at the University full of
trepidation as a 17 year old from London,
partly motivated by a desire to be near the
Fylde coast where she had spent much
of her childhood; but also because few
universities were prepared to accept such
a young student. She left with the potential
to take on some of the top jobs advising
the government, and her stellar work
earned her the CBE in 2010.
“University was a very big transition
for me coming straight from school.
It helped me understand myself and
take responsibility for myself.”
Michael Holland
(Ecology, 1993, Cartmel)
A mission to show how plants play a vital
role in our everyday lives motivates the
Head of Education at London’s oldest
botanic garden.
Ever since he went on a school field trip
to Wales, Michael has been fascinated by
the profound interdependency between
natural things. In 1990 he came to study
Ecology at Lancaster, one of the first
places in the world to offer this degree.
29
A year studying abroad in Oregon, where
he took courses in horse-riding and dance
alongside more mainstream subjects
expanded Michael’s view of education.
Twenty years later Michael is applying that
inventive approach to his role as Head of
Education at the Chelsea Physic Garden,
founded in 1673 as the Apothecaries’
Garden to provide training in the medicinal
use of plants.
Today’s adult and children’s education
programme, which Michael runs, covers
subjects ranging from botanical drawing
to the role of plants in solving crime, using Ranvir Singh
(English and Philosophy,

Ranvir has also achieved her ambition
to appear on the ITV News at Ten.
“My English degree was hugely
useful to my career in journalism, but
also being made to think critically
and question is at the heart of my
work, so it was all very relevant.”

The studios offer a more self-contained experience for those
looking for more independence.
144 self-contained studios are located in Grizedale and Pendle
Colleges and are a larger version of the Superior En suite
bedroom, but with a small kitchenette, dining table and a 3/4 size
bed. As there are no communal areas in these buildings they are
more suited to those that prefer an independent style of living. A
handful of studios are larger and suitable for two occupants.

Course length: 3 years
Your degree
We live in a multicultural society and
media-saturated world. Most of what we
know about the world comes to us through
the media – but how much do we know
about the media? Whether as sources of
information, producers of entertainment
or modes of creative self-expression,
contemporary media are all too seldom
subject to intense scrutiny and critical
interrogation, except during feverish
moments of scandal, crisis or panic.
Our Media and Cultural Studies degree
provides you with the theoretical insights,
analytical skills and wide-ranging knowledge
needed to explore the production, meaning
and consumption of media and cultural
products, to investigate their social,
economic and political significance, and to
recognise their key role in shaping who we
are, what we think, and what we value.
Our degree is primarily theoretical
and analytical, but contains practical
components and skills embedded within
the core curriculum.

The need for genuine sociological insight has never been more acute. Sociology is
about people, real life, real problems and real challenges. The Sociology degree at
Lancaster will change the way you think forever.

Sociology BA Hons Core modules:

UCAS code: L300
Course length: 3 years
Your degree
We live in a highly complex and
rapidly changing world. A few enjoy
unprecedented levels of material comfort,
access to information and education,
health care and life expectancy, speed
and scope of communications, and
ease of movement. At the same time,
many are beset by seemingly intractable
problems of poverty, inequality, conflict,
discrimination, injustice, and all of us must
face up to urgent global threats such as
finite resources, demographic changes,
and climate change.
Sociology will enable you to move beyond
commonplace everyday assumptions
about the world, to explore contemporary
human interdependencies, opportunities
and challenges, and, through sustained
critical analysis, to identify necessary
constructive action.

entry grades to ensure that all applicants
are treated fairly.
As a minimum, for students taking the
A level curriculum, we normally expect
you to have studied three subjects but
do not expect you to take four or more A
levels. In addition to the standard grade
requirements, we may ask for minimum
grades in specific subjects at A level or
GCSE level.
In the reformed A Level in Biology,
Chemistry and Physics we expect
applicants to achieve the required grade
in the written examination (typically A or B)
and pass the practical skills assessment.
We will accept a mixture for letter and
number grades from the newly reformed
GCSEs.

Flexible Part 1
options
01
You may have the chance to choose some of your modules
You will be automatically enrolled on compulsory modules, and your
department will advise you whether there are others to choose from.

02
Your undergraduate studies are divided into Part 1 (your first year) and
Part 2 (your second, third, and sometimes fourth years). Opposite are
seven things you need to know about Part 1.
In some courses you can take a minor subject
Many degree programmes enable you to study minor subjects
alongside your major in Part 1. However, your course structure does
not allow for this if you are studying Law, Medicine, Engineering
or Physics.

03
Struggling to decide which minor to take? Help is available
You can find a full list of modules in the courses handbook at
www.lancaster.ac.uk/OnlineCoursesHandbook. All Part 1 module
numbers begin with ‘1’, such as FREN100: Part I French Studies.

04 Your modules must add up to 120 credits

Each module is worth a set of credits. The credit total needed for
Part 1 for most degree programmes is 120. Most modules equate to
40 credits, which would mean you need to enrol in three. Some are
worth fewer credits, which would mean you would need to enrol on
more to reach the total.

05 There are some limitations to the modules you can choose

Certain subjects are not available to study as minor subjects. Some
study combinations may cause timetable clashes, and popular
subjects may have restrictions or reach capacity.

06
Part 1 choices can affect your Part 2 options
Some Part 1 courses enable you to change your major for Part 2.
However, you can only do this if you also meet the criteria for
that subject.

07
You must pass Part 1
You must pass all of your Part 1 modules to proceed to Part 2.
However, your marks from Part 1 do not count towards your final
degree classification.
