Graduation 2013


On 21st June 2013 we held a graduation ceremony for our September students who have now completed their Programmes.


Students from the Undergraduate Foundation Programme, Master's Foundation Programme and English Language Module who have now successfully completed their courses will go on to study their chosen degrees at UCLan. 


A representative from the International Office joined us at graduation with offer letters for students.  Those that had passed and already paid their deposits for UCLan also received a CAS number which is necessary for students wishing to apply for a Student Visa, ensuring a very early and therefore, hopefully, a quick and stress-free visa application.

Following a speech by James Martin, Centre Head, that focussed on achievements and highlighted the successes that students have enjoyed over the last 9 months we presented certificates to our graduating students who were visibly proud to receive them.

We were also joined by students' friends and family, a number of members of the UCLan International Office Team, catering staff and our colleagues at UCLan who are all actively involved in working with FoundationCampus UCLan throughout the year and a special thanks was extended to them.

After the ceremony students, staff and guests were invited to join us for a complimentary buffet and an opportunity to have photographs taken by a professional photographer. 

A huge congratulations to all of students.  Well done on working hard to receive the much needed results and best of luck in your upcoming degrees.  Come back and visit us.

Although a number of students have now left we are back in business this week now that our January students have returned to complete their courses which will end in August.  We are very much looking forward to celebrating their success with them and, of course, enjoying another complimentary buffet.

While the students are away!

Today staff at FoundationCampus UCLan were able to take advantage of the 'quiet' period while students are away having two weeks break from lessons. 

Katie, Ruth, Aimee and Sam spent their lunch hour today outside enjoying the nice weather and green parks of Preston by trying out cycling.  They spent an hour at Moor Park, only minutes walk from the FoundationCampus centre, giving it a go at UCLan's Bike Week.

Preston is a great place to cycle with numerous parks, bicycle lanes and the newly opened Guild Wheel, a 21 mile 'Greenway' which links the city of Preston to local countryside, which is perfect for cycling and walking enthusiasts.



There are lots of activities throughout the year in partnership with the local council so if you are interested in cycling in Preston feel free to get in touch or contact www.cycling.org.uk for more details.
