Department visits at UCLan

When students study an Undergraduate Foundation Programme or Master's Foundation Programme at FoundationCampus UCLan they have guaranteed progression to their choice of UCLan's Bachelor's or Master's degree upon successful completion of the course.

There are a wide range of degrees available as automatic progression routes and if any potential student wants to go onto a course which doesn't have prior agreement we are able to approach the University to arrange this in agreement with the course leader of the degree.

As we have such strong links with the University our students also have the benefit of meeting their course leader and visiting the department that they will join before they begin the course the following year.

This gives the student a great insight into what is involved in the course and what their environment will be when they go onto their University programme taking the nerves out of the next step.

Students have had visits to the Business School, Art Department, Law School and School of Forensic and Investigative Sciences (FIS).

Last week a group of future Fire Engineering students met with Shephard Ndlovu, a senior lecturer in the School of FIS, to talk about their degree.  They were given a presentation on the course content and the use of fire engineering in the real world. 

Following that they had a tour of one of the fire labs and were shown a great deal of equipment which they will use in practical lessons as part of the course.  Shephard demonstrated one of the pieces of machinery which they will use to study the behaviour of fire in order to learn how to manage and control fire in different settings.

It was a very interesting and informative trip and students felt it was great benefit to them, motivating them to work even harder in the last leg of their course with us. 

Good luck to all of our students who will be joining UCLan next year, we are sure that they will enjoy it.
