副校长Angela Murphy说:
"Any suggestion that the University could close because of UK Government funding cuts is completely untrue. UCLan remains in the top third of all UK universities in terms of its strong financial performance*.
“因英国政府经费削减而将导致大学倒闭的任何传闻都完全不是真实的。就学校强劲的财务表现而言,在英国所有的大学中,中央兰开夏大学仍位于前三甲之列。
"Like every other UK university we are devising measures to cope with Government grant reductions and with major assets both in the UK and internationally we are well placed both academically and financially to meet the challenges we face."
“与任何一所其他的英国大学一样,我们目前也在制定应对政府拨款减少的措施。鉴于我们的主要资产存在于英国和全球各地,不管是在学术方面,还是在财务方面,我们都处于极有利的位置,足可迎接面临的各种挑战。
"In due course UCLan will announce new fee levels for students enrolling in September 2012 and these will reflect our commitment to sustaining an excellent learning experience whilst continuing to offer value for money for students from the UK and overseas.
“中央兰开夏大学将在适当的时候宣布其2012年9月的学费水平。该学费水平将体现我们的承诺:在保持优秀的学习体验的同时,继续为英国和海外的学生提供物有所值的教育。
Having entered the prestigious QS World University Rankings for the first time last year we remain absolutely committed to all our international partners and look forward to strengthening our links further over the coming years."
“自去年首次进入著名的QS世界大学排名榜后,我们仍将绝对信守我们对国际合作伙伴的承诺,并期待在今后的岁月中加强我们的合作。
*In the last financial year the University made a surplus of £2.5 million, with assets of £200 million including cash and investments of £80 million.
“学校在上个财政年度中取得了250万英镑的盈利。学校的资产,包括现金和8千万英镑的投资在内,达到了2亿英镑。”

英国政府近年来削减大学的教育经费,各大学府都会受到影响,学费上涨也各不统一,中央兰开大学也是其中之一,是否倒闭,要看官方的公告,切忌以讹传讹,误了留学大事。
另外中英网提醒:同学们在选择大学时仍需对学校深入了解,并根据自己的条件、兴趣等处考虑,选择适合自己的才最重要。
