course you are interested in? How big are tutor and seminar groups?• What facilities does the department have related to your chosen course?• Is the library well stocked? Are there plenty of PCs and other IT equipment?• What is Ormskirk like? Are public transport links good?• What can you do if you don’t get enough UCAS points or meet other conditions

of your offer?• Are there any opportunities for exchanges abroad?• If your chosen course includes placements, e.g. Teaching and Nursing, where

will you be sent and what support do you get while you are out on placement?• What scholarships and bursaries are available?• Is the course professionally accredited?
