Situated in the centre of the developing city of Preston, UCLAN has developed into one of the leading "new" universities in England. An impressive building programme has enabled a significant expansion in student numbers and the development of a number of new and innovative courses. First established in 1828 as the Institution for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge the University has expanded steadily over the years with enrolled students now numbering 30,000. The facilities at UCLAN are second to none: a wide range of new academic buildings, but also a significant investment in student facilities, the Sports Village and Student Night Club being just two examples of how investment has sought to cater for every aspect of the student experience. An impressive range of clubs and societies, together with the excellent facilities, means that students need never be bored, either in the classroom or in their leisure time!
