Reviews on Lancaster University
More information
Description
Lancaster was born out of innovation. For a start, the idea of a campus university was a fairly new concept. Students were, and still are expected to take three subjects during their first year. This scheme enabled new students to study three subjects in equal depth during their first year and then specialise in either one of those areas during the Second Year. Initially Arts students were required to study a Science subject, and Science students an Arts. Students could also complete a combined major in two subjects. The approach was highly praised at the time because it helped to sustain interest and diversify the skills and knowledge of students at the university. The introduction of coursework as means of assessment was also an innovative development.
