With not a long time to go, please continue reading for the full details of the day.

Arrival

By Car

If using Sat Nav, we recommend the postcode LA1 4YW. Leave the M6 motorway at Junction 33 and take the A6 north towards Lancaster. Turn right at the third set of traffic lights on the A6 and the main University driveway called Bigforth Drive. Take the first exit on the roundabout and drive along North Drive and visitor parking is marked as 'A' on the campus map above. Look out for our student helpers. The students will direct you to a parking space.

By Public Transport

Buses to campus stop at the Underpass. Head up the stairs and you will be in Alexandra Square, where Student Ambassadors will be present to help you find your way.
If arriving by train, our student ambassadors will be available to welcome applicants and their guests and direct appropriately.

Full schedules

Morning activities are flexible and are designed to help you get a feel for student life at Lancaster. If you arrive between 9am and 12pm, you may wish to take a campus tour, visit our accommodation or chat with current students about key aspects of university life.

Our Student Experience Hub provides you with student representatives from a range of areas, including student societies, colleges and careers, allowing you to discover which area of Lancaster University interests you the most! This time is free for you to spend as you choose, before you are guided to your department for registration and the rest of your day.

If you have any further questions about the day, please do not hesitate to contact us at either lec.ug@lancaster.ac.uk or 01524 510249.
