It later became Preston Polytechnic, was renamed Lancashire Polytechnic in 1984 and became the University of Central Lancashire, known as UCLan, in 1992.

It had 23,865 students in 2024/25, made up of 17,225 undergraduates and 6,640 postgraduates. It should not be confused with Lancaster University, a separate institution.
