Navitas – Lancaster University is a private educational institution. It operates as a partnership between Navitas, a global education provider, and Lancaster University, a public university in the UK. This collaboration offers pathway programs for international students, preparing them for degree studies at Lancaster University.
While Lancaster University itself is public, the Navitas-managed programs are privately funded. These programs focus on foundation courses, diplomas, and pre-master’s pathways, providing tailored support for students transitioning into higher education. The distinction lies in the funding and management structure, with Navitas programs being privately run despite their affiliation with a public university.
