97.6 percent of Lancaster graduates are either in employment or further study three and a half years after graduating according to the Destinations of Leavers from Higher Education Longitudinal Survey published by the Higher Education Statistics Agency in August 2017. Supporting students into employment or further studies is central to our mission: we offer work placements, one-to-one support, and skills training.
91% Lancaster students say that they are satisfied with their course according to the National Student Survey 2017. Lancaster's on-campus accommodation has won the Best University Halls award for seven out of the last eight years in The National Student Housing Survey and we are also one of only four universities to hold the International Accommodation Quality Mark, awarded for over 90% satisfaction among international students.
Lancaster is one of a small number of leading UK universities to operate a college structure. All students (and staff) join one of our eight undergraduate colleges – Bowland, Cartmel, County, Furness, Fylde, Grizedale, Lonsdale and Pendle – or Graduate College.
