Offer Holder Events

Discover Lancaster University for yourself at one of our events exclusively for Neuroscience offer holders and guests.

  • Saturday 7 February
  • Saturday 28 February
  • Saturday 21 March
  • Saturday 11 April

These events are a chance to experience our friendly and inclusive teaching environment first-hand. You’ll get to know our Biosciences team and current students through subject talks, taster sessions and informal chats over a complimentary lunch.

At your Offer Holder Event, you will:

  • Learn more about the structure of your degree and our approach to teaching and learning
  • Experience life as a Neuroscience student through a hands-on laboratory taster session
  • Have the opportunity to chat with current students and staff, and find out answers to any questions you may have

We also host a variety of online events designed to give you a closer look at life within our Biosciences community - whilst also exploring exciting career paths that could shape your future.

Once you have received an offer to study Neuroscience, you will be emailed a unique booking link to the email address used on your UCAS application. You can book your place on both the in-person and online events. If you have any questions, or haven't received your personal booking link, please email us.

Why Lancaster?

In joining Lancaster, you will become a part of our Biosciences community in a highly ranked department (3rd in the UK for Biomedical Sciences, The Guardian University Guide 2026).

Our Neuroscience degrees will give you the biological and psychological grounding to explore the brain, nervous system and how the body works.

World-class facilities

Our teaching laboratories are at the centre of your degree. They are where you will put into practice, and test your knowledge, from lectures and tutorials; they are the place where you’ll learn to use the wide variety of equipment needed to understand the fundamentals of the science of life; they are where you’ll hone skills in working as a team, planning and running experiments, and where you’ll make lasting friendships with your fellow Biosciences students.

Research with impact

We talk a lot about ‘research-led teaching’ but what does that really mean? It means that the academics you will learn from, the people taking your labs and tutorials and standing at the front of the lecture theatres, are experts in their fields. Their research is shaping our understanding of the world and their work feeds into our degree programmes, ensuring that your education is informed by cutting-edge thinking.

A career in the making

One of our degrees will give you the skills to pursue a career in your chosen area of the biosciences and will give you the transferable skills valued by a wide range of future employers. In addition to subject-specific knowledge you'll gain numerical, analytical and other transferrable skills required for scientific careers but equally applicable elsewhere.

Current student Zara in the countryside

Meet our students: Zara

From a young age I have always loved biology and learning about the human body, specifically the brain. However, going into my final two years of school I had the opportunity to take psychology classes and very quickly found myself falling in love with the material and the connections it had back to biology. Being able to study both subjects and seeing the connections between them makes me realize just how intertwined so many different science fields are. 

I was lucky enough to be able to attend an open day in the summer before my final year of high school and I really liked the campus and the student ambassadors I was able to talk to. The friendly atmosphere and general vibe of the campus felt very inviting and Lancaster was one of the few universities I visited that summer where I could truly see myself attending in the future.
