Our Strengths

A Top University Degree

Many of our degrees are awarded by Lancaster University, consistently ranked as one of the top universities in the UK. So at Blackpool and The Fylde you can enjoy all the advantages of studying at a small institution yet still graduate with a top university degree.

Career-focused

Our commitment to academic excellence is complemented by strong industry links to deliver quality, work-oriented programmes that full prepare you for the real world.

Small and Supportive

With around 2,500 university education students each year, we’re smaller than most institutions so the environment is very friendly and down-to-earth. With fewer students, classes are smaller and tutors can devote more time to individual learning and support.

Everyone Welcome

We’re committed to equality and provide an inclusive environment where all students, regardless of their circumstances, are given the opportunity to thrive. Our students come from a diverse range of backgrounds and experiences and when they come together, they’re the richer for it.
