Our course advisers are happy to help.

Student Life
You may be studying remotely, but you won’t be studying alone. You’ll be supported by us through every stage of your journey.
Who you'll meet
Your Course Adviser will be the first person you can expect to speak with. They’ll be glad to help you with any questions you have prior to starting with us, from selecting a course to working on your application.
You can get in touch with them by emailing onlinestudy@uclan.ac.uk, phoning +44 (0)1772 925 931, or sending a WhatsApp message to +44 (0)7521 915 306
Our Student Adviser Team will help you with any of your non-academic questions during the course – or point you in the direct of the support services you need.
You can turn to your Student Advisers for advice on anything from managing your time to using Canvas, our online learning platform.
Our incredible academics are the reason we were rated Silver by the Teaching Excellence Framework. During your programme, your tutors’ industry insights and subject knowledge will be an invaluable part of your growth as a professional.
Whether you’ve just begun your course or have advanced to the next phase of your journey post-graduation, you can turn to our Careers Team for lifelong help navigating your career. From practice interviews to CV checking, the team offers a fantastic range of services.
During your studies, you’ll get to work alongside brilliant, like-minded students from across the world. They’ll have the same passion for the subject as you do, and you’ll be able to share your experiences and get to know each other through our forums, webinars, and groupwork.
Upon earning your degree, you’ll be invited to join our on-campus ceremony to celebrate this accomplishment alongside your tutors and peers.
You can also look forward to becoming a member of our Alumni Network, which includes business support, lifelong access to the Library, and more.

HAVE A QUESTION?
Extra support
We hold up to two subject-specific events each year. These events are optional and don’t make up a part of your curriculum. However, they can be a great opportunity to learn more about your field and spend time with your classmates and tutors.
All event costs (like entry fees) are paid for by the University. You’ll be expected to cover your own travel and accommodation for physical events.
If you’re going through a difficult time with your mental health, please know that you can get in touch with our Counselling, Mental Health and Wellbeing Team. Speak to them confidentially about any of your current challenges and receive professional support and advice.
You can access the thousands of books, journals, and learning resources available digitally in the Library, which also has a dedicated team that provides research-related training for students, from how to format written assignments to making the most of the platform’s features.
