Coat of arms of Lancaster University information


The coat of arms of Lancaster University is the official emblem of Lancaster University, in Lancashire, England. It was granted to the university by Royal Charter on its establishment in 1964.

The coat of arms has several heraldic elements.[1] Centrally positioned, a horizontal, wavy blue line refers to the River Lune, a prominent geographic landmark of the city of Lancaster. Secondly, the two red roses are symbols of the House of Lancaster (and the county of Lancashire) and are taken directly from the arms of the Lancashire County Council. The open book represents wisdom and the university's purpose as an institution of learning. Lastly, the Lion passant comes from the arms of the Duchy of Lancaster.[1]

The arms, slightly modified, may be seen on the university's logo. The full coat of arms also appears on degree certificates and the jerseys of the university's sports teams.
