However, with accommodation on Lancaster University’s campus and access to all our facilities, you’ll still be fully involved in university life. Our Foundation Years will follow the same term dates as Lancaster University, with taught sessions taking place at Cardinal Newman College on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.

After successful completion of the Foundation Year, students will progress onto their chosen degree pathway with all study then taking place on the Lancaster University campus.
