About the university
Blackpool and The Fylde College (B&FC) is a further education college in Blackpool that also teaches degree-level courses, many of them awarded by Lancaster University. It holds TEF Gold, and its specialisms include aerospace, engineering, energy, digital, health and the visitor economy. Many international students study maritime operations at its Fleetwood Nautical Campus.
B&FC accepts international students and issues a CAS once fees are paid in full, but it does not publish international tuition fees online, so we list no courses here. Ask the international team (international@blackpool.ac.uk) which courses are open to you and what they cost.
