Our Campus

Find your haven in a sea of change

Over the years, we’ve evolved our campus to include everything you need to live, study and socialise. Alongside our historic red-brick buildings, rose-filled lawns and 1,000+ trees, you’ll find modern structures of steel and glass. New facilities for a fresh generation of minds. Like yours.

Accommodation

Woke up late? You've still got time.

When you choose our on-campus accommodation, you can roll out of bed and go straight into your lectures. Imagine it. No catching the bus at the crack of dawn. No rushing across town to get to uni. Just lots of lie-ins and leisurely breakfasts before you start your studies.
