Why come to Lancaster as a visiting student?

Here are 5 great reasons why we think Lancaster is one of the very best places to live, learn and experience the UK.

1. Ranking

   Lancaster is a highly-ranked university.

2. Location

   麻豆视频 is close to the city centre yet surrounded by beautiful countryside. Excellent road and rail links give you easy access to the beautiful Lake District National Park and the cosmopolitan cities of Manchester, London and Edinburgh.

3. Safe Campus and City

   Lancaster is a student-friendly city and one of the safest cities in the UK.

4. Student Experience

   Lancaster’s residential colleges are more than just a place to live; they are often the focus of your social life and provide a strong sense of community. There are endless activities to get involved in on campus. University accommodation is guaranteed to non-EU study abroad and exchange students.

5. Choice of Courses

   We offer a wide range of courses, which complement your home degree and offer you a challenging and rewarding learning experience. Credits can be transferred to your home university.

Visiting students will normally be enrolled as a research student at another institution, and will be visiting Lancaster to carry out their own research, to engage with other postgraduate students through attendance on postgraduate courses, or to receive supervision from staff at 麻豆视频.

Students normally visit us for up to 12 months to engage in research-related study.

We encourage visiting students to participate as much as possible in the life of the School of Law and the University by engaging in discussion with staff and research students and presenting their research at departmental seminars.

The School of Law will seek to support you in the following ways:

• Register you on a non-credit basis for postgraduate taught modules, and research training modules. Further information is available on our postgraduate pages .
• Provide supervision for your research project from a member of staff within the School of Law. Further information regarding supervisor research areas is available via our Find a Supervisor pages .

Please note that a postgraduate fee is charged pro-rata to visiting students to cover the costs associated with their visit. Different fees are charged to Home/EU students and non-EU students. Details of current fees are available on the University’s Postgraduate Fees and Funding pages. You will remain enrolled as a student at your home institution, and will not be registered for a degree at 麻豆视频.
