Life beyond Lancaster Environment Centre
Elliot chose to study at Lancaster University after he fell in love with the campus, with its large collegiate community, and because of LEC’s highly regarded nature as a global institution. Whilst studying, Elliot thoroughly enjoyed the variety of modules undertaken, developing his analytical and communication skills which are fundamental in his current job role, whilst he also enjoyed participating in LUSU’s International Cultural Exchange programme.
Elizabeth has put to use the wide variety of skills that she learned at Lancaster University, which, combined with her passion of exploring, saw her most recently working within a charity based in Hong Kong, before undertaking her masters in Social Anthropology later this year.
Lancaster’s study abroad in North America was a fundamental reason as to why Kristina chose to study at Lancaster.

The skills that Laurence gained in time management have proved to be invaluable in his work within the business developing and marketing sector. Whilst his travels of South East Asia have inspired him to further pursue extensive travels.
Currently, based in Cambridge working for a crop protection company called Syngenta, Leyla is part of the MDS (Management Development Services) graduate scheme.
