At Lancaster we value the academic achievements of our students, but also recognise the importance of those activities you engage with outside your programme of study.
The student experience is enhanced by including extra-curricular activities and, with more graduates than ever before and increasing competition for jobs upon leaving University, these are vital to your future prospects.
We want to help you demonstrate the skills you gain in doing these valuable activities.
The Lancaster Award aims to encourage you to complete activities, help you to pull them together in one place and then be recognised for your accomplishments. We want you to stand out from the crowd - the Lancaster award will help you to do this.
There are 3 stages in the award process:
- Visit CEEC to enrol
- Assess your current skills
- Undertake activity in 4 areas
- Fill in the gaps in your skills set whilst completing the activities
- Complete the skills audit
- Complete the application form and activities checklist
- Discuss your application with CEEC
- Attend interview with staff and key employers
Activities that you have done during your period of study at Lancaster can be used as evidence of skills gained for the award.
