Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the University of Lancashire, along with much of the sector, transitioned to a fully remote registration process to ensure safety and continuity. While this approach was effective during the crisis, feedback from students and staff highlighted the importance of personal interaction and campus engagement from the very start of a student’s study with the University.

Therefore, the decision was made to reintroduce an in-person registration event in September 2025 for all new students.  In this session hear how it went, what the benefits were for everyone, and what lessons were learned along the way.
