Lancaster University

The 1970s and 80s were a period of consolidation for Lancaster. This period saw the introduction of combined degree schemes with other subjects such as philosophy and environmental science, as well as the construction of new laboratories for research and teaching. 

Lancaster University will:

• provide a diverse range of flexible student-centred programmes, based on sound principles of design, which are responsive to student need and demand and are explicitly informed by, and benefit from, Lancaster's vibrant research culture
• encourage students to develop knowledge, skills and understanding that promote personal development, make a positive contribution to society and are valued by external agencies
• provide a stimulating, challenging and attractive learning environment where students can grow personally and academically
• communicate clearly and comprehensively to students what is required from them and what services are available to them to support their academic work

Lancaster University aims to:

• Produce world-leading research which has beneficial impacts on the economy, society, culture, policy, health and the environment.
