Master
Our beautiful campus is often described as a small town of its own. With everything you need in one place, it’s designed to help you feel at home and make the most of your time at Lancaster.
You’ll find plenty of places to eat and relax, including cafes, bars, takeaways, and restaurants. There’s also a theatre, art gallery, sports centre, and a student‑run cinema for when you want to unwind or try something new.
For everyday essentials, the campus has two supermarkets, a sustainable goods shop, a post office, a pharmacy, a doctor’s surgery, cash machines (ATMs), and launderettes. We also have prayer rooms, and our Chaplaincy Centre welcomes people of all faiths and none.
Accommodation
Our comfortable accommodation provides the perfect base for campus life, with options to suit different preferences and budgets. Choose from en‑suite rooms, townhouses and flats with shared facilities, or self‑contained studios. Adapted rooms are available for students with disabilities, and we also offer family flats for students with young children.
Accommodation on campus is located within the colleges, creating a ready-made community around your living space. You’ll be close to friendly faces and college events, while still having a private place to call your own. We guarantee on-campus accommodation for all new full-time undergraduates who choose Lancaster as their firm choice and apply by the deadline.
Library
At the heart of campus, the library offers an impressive collection of physical and digital resources, alongside a range of technology‑enabled study spaces. Choose from silent zones, bookable rooms for group work, and calming, plant‑filled areas. There’s even a real tree in the atrium. The library also has dedicated teams available to support your learning.
In the 2025 National Student Survey, Lancaster received a 93.9% positivity score for library resources, reflecting the high level of student satisfaction.
Sports centre

If you prefer to stay active outdoors, the 2.6‑mile Woodland Walk around the perimeter of campus is perfect for running, jogging or a peaceful stroll. You’ll also find plenty of green spaces and outdoor exercise stations across campus.
