Lancaster is proud to be one of only a few universities in the UK to have a collegiate system. We have nine colleges in total, eight for undergraduates and one – Graduate College – for postgraduates. Our colleges are more than just places to live; each has a unique community, where it's easy to make friends with students of many different nationalities and walks of life.

Graduate College - celebrating 35 years!
Since its creation on 4th July 1989, Graduate College has welcomed and supported thousands of students from all over the World. From our early days in Graduate Hall (now part of Bowland College), to the building of 'Barker House Student Village' on South-West campus, to the present day in our extended site on what is now called Alexandra Park - with our Undergraduate neighbours in Cartmel and Lonsdale Colleges. Our focus has been, and always will be to create the best student experience we can for postgraduate students, and to support them in achieving their best.
Some of our fantastic Alumni have shared their thoughts and memories on our 30th Birthday, which we turned into a short video.
