Campus life

University is all about new experiences, discovering more about yourself, what you're good at and what you enjoy. You'll be working hard but it's important to relax too. Spending some time away from your books helps you to create a balanced life, which can really benefit your studies. So take advantage of the societies on offer to try something new, you'll make friends and maybe discover a hidden talent.

Looking to the future, filling your CV with extra-curricular experiences and activities is sure to impress potential employers and help you find a job.

Eat good food and pay student-friendly prices at our campus cafés. You can start the day with a smoothie or one of our 'mega breakfasts' and end it with one of the international dishes available at our Student Hub. If you’ve got a special dietary requirement, we’ve got that covered too.
