We’ve been inspiring minds and changing futures since 1885, and today, we’re ranked among the top four universities in the North West (Complete University Guide 2025). We believe that out of knowledge comes opportunity—the kind that opens doors to change and empowers you to imagine a different future. A future where you share new ideas with energy and integrity, inspire others, and make a difference, whatever path you take.

Courses that take your career to the next level

Located on an award-winning campus in Lancashire, we offer a range of taught masters, research degrees, PGCEs, and postgraduate certificates and diplomas across a range of specialisms. Whether you are looking to expand your knowledge, gain new skills or change career, we have everything you need to help you achieve your aspirations. We know that flexibility is important so many courses are available on a full or part-time basis with multiple intakes throughout the year.

Funding opportunities

The Student Opportunity Fund offers up to £2,000 to help make career-enhancing ideas happen. A social work bursary is available for students joining the MA Social Work programme and prospective PhD students can apply for a Graduate Teaching Assistant studentship.

For Secondary PGCE students, bursaries of up to £29,000 are available. In certain subjects, you may also be eligible to apply for a Teacher Training Scholarship worth up to £30,000 instead of a bursary.
