When you choose to study at East Lancashire UC, you join a community that champions your potential. We know that no two students are exactly alike, which means no two students need the exact same type of help. That is why our approach to academic support is entirely built around you.
Whether you are returning to the classroom after a decade away or progressing straight from college, we provide the tailored guidance you need to thrive.
Your tutors are your academic mentors and their doors are always open. We encourage you to approach them and talk through whatever is on your mind.
Let us help you break down the barriers.
We can brainstorm ideas to get your next assignment moving.
We will work with you to build a realistic plan so you can meet and even beat your targets.
Support is not a one-size-fits-all process. It is a conversation. Reach out, share your goals and barriers and let us help you build the extraordinary future you deserve.
Balancing a degree with family commitments, a career or personal demands is a bold step and we deeply respect your dedication.
We understand these multiple demands, so we offer genuine flexibility. If unexpected challenges arise or life simply gets in the way, talk to us. We can often grant extra time to complete your work.
We focus on your growth and your potential, ensuring you have the breathing room to produce your best work.
Our dedicated academic mentors and teaching staff can offer a wide range of support strategies tailored to your unique learning style, including:
For Mya-Mae Thorpe, education at East Lancashire UC has been deeply personal. After losing her father to addiction, she pursued a Foundation Degree in Alcohol and Substance Misuse to better understand and support others facing similar challenges.“I wanted to work in the field and understand more about how addiction works.”
With motherhood, pregnancy and ADHD, Mya-Mae had a lot of work ahead of her, but she thrived with the encouragement of her tutor, Ian Pickering. “If it wasn’t for Ian, I don’t think I’d have achieved what I’ve achieved. That connection with the college was so important.” Mya-Mae is now studying a bachelor’s degree, with a focus on supporting families and male prisoners affected by addiction.
Our students’ achievements showcase exactly what happens when determination meets the right opportunity. You do not just have to take our word for it—results from the National Student Survey (NSS) consistently highlight our high ratings for academic support and staff availability.
Our community is proud to be recognised for being there when our learners need us most.
