Welcome to the Furness College website.

Always an eccentric and close community, Furness is renowned for its easy going and inclusive outlook popular with students and staff alike.

It helps that we are one of the smallest Colleges at Lancaster as you should get to know more of the Furness population, where larger communities can be all too anonymous. It is said we are the 'Gryfindor' of the University, in that everyone secretly wants to be a Furnessian!

In the spirit of eccentricity, our bar is called Trevor (there's a story there somewhere...) one of the few bars to still have real ale. A real ale and cider festival is held each December and is a highlight of the Michaelmas term, and not to be missed.

College identity and loyalty is something that extends beyond graduation.

I hope you enjoy visiting the College's site although its no substitute for visiting and experiencing the college in person!

Reuben Edwards, Principal

After verious problems with the web site and server it is now up and running again and will hopefully be problem free for the foreseeable future!

Fresher's week is now only a week away and the latest timetable of events is here.

The refurbishment of Furness College will be commencing at the beginning of the 2011/2012 academic year.

The College Offices have now moved temporarily to 'C' Floor in Bowland South (above the banks in Alexandra square).

'Trevor' our bar will close at the end of Intro Week until the refurb is completed.

This is scheduled to be by the start of the 2012/2013 academic year.

The College will then have new social space and new offices in the north wing of the College (opposite the bar). The foyer will be shared space with the new School of Health and Medicine, who are moving into the refurbished Furness College.

This will be a year of upheaval for all the College, but we will be doing our best to continue with our social events (both SCR and JCR) and to keep the family spirit alive.
