Academic support

Academic language and learning support at Lancaster is provided through Learning Developers: 

Rebecca Beaumont and Helen Hargreaves (Lancaster University Management School): learningdevelopmentlums@lancaster.ac.uk

Robert Blake (Faculty of Science & Technology): learningdevelopmentfst@lancaster.ac.uk

Most departments also have advisers, called Directors of Studies or Academic Advisers. They can help with any problems you may have with registration, reading lists, timetables and course material. Any change in registration should be discussed first with the Director of Studies in your major department.

Every student can find personal support in their college. You will be able to call upon a friendly support network that includes Student Reps, College Managers, Wellbeing Officers and College Advisors, and Accommodation Managers. Your college support team can refer you to specialist support services if needed and will also liaise with academic departments on your behalf. Further details can be provided by your College.

The University offers several pre-sessional English Language programmes. Once you begin your course student learning advisers can help.
