Student clubs
Our award winning Students Union is the social hub of the campus, both during the day and after the sun goes down.
Between lectures you can pick up a coffee at our very own Starbucks and then drink it with your friends on the sofas in the Square. This is your living room on campus, the spacious central meeting area of the Percy Gee Building. While youre there, why not stock up on stationary in the Union branch of Rymans or organise your finances with the help of advisers in the onsite Santander bank.

Student Reviews
New experience of discovery learning
Michael Osei rated 1 out of 5 stars
Interesting, fun, high expectations. I’m given all assignments and the assessment rubrics. Then you’re nurtured in all areas to produce quality, individual, non plagiarized work of assessment.
Great campus
Anonymous rated 5 out of 5 stars
it is a good university giving many opportunities. it supports students well and the campus is great though smaller than other universities. the campus buildings are sometimes far from each other such as brookfield from main campus. <br><i> Review provided by EDUopinions (www.eduopinions.com)</i>
Good experience
Alex rated 4 out of 5 stars
My opinion is that it is a decent university. It’s not the highest in the rankings but I had a really good experience there. The student support in terms of mitigating circumstances could be improved to allow more leniency for students. The best part for me was the sports societies and socials on Wednesday nights. <br><i> Review provided by EDUopinions...
