UCLan Students’ Union exists to make life better for students and we will always put students at the heart of the Union.

We want all students to play their part in the Union as we create a safe, inclusive Union and campus. Every student at The University of Central Lancashire is automatically a member of UCLan Students’ Union, regardless of which campus they’re studying on.

From the Course Reps and School Presidents who help shape teaching and learning, or the Advice Centre which supports thousands of students each year, to the Sports Clubs and Societies who provide an opportunity for students to connect and feel part of the student community – your student experience matters to us.


Membership Benefits

International students have a dedicated rep to support you throughout your time at UCLan. Find out more here.

The University’s Student Support, Health & Wellbeing Service is also available to all UCLan students. You can access the on-campus Medical Centre and pharmacy, as well as having access to the trained counsellors and mental health advisors.
