UCLan Shortlisted for Highly Prestigious Educational Award

The University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) has been shortlisted for a highly prestigious educational award.
The Preston-based institution has beaten off stiff competition from an array of UK higher education providers to make the final list for Entrepreneurial University of the Year in the 10th annual Times Higher Education (THE) Awards.
John Lonsdale, Head of UCLan Innovation and Enterprise, said: “We’re delighted to have made the Times Higher Education’s shortlist. It’s great recognition for us as we’ve worked very hard to make UCLan a truly entrepreneurial, enterprising and innovative University.”
In the past two years UCLan has invested in an Innovation and Enterprise team to create a stronger enterprising and entrepreneurial environment throughout all areas of the institution. Newly created initiatives are removing the barriers to these activities and are enabling staff and students to make their ideas a reality. These schemes have also allowed access to funding, commercial and legal support and training.

The winners will be announced on Thursday 27 November 2014 at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London.
Good luck UCLan!!
