What makes us different
A smaller university, but with big industry connections, we are committed to ensuring everyone has the opportunity to succeed in a supportive environment. Our students vouch for this and this year, we were voted best in the region for student support, as well as postgraduate and international, at the Whatuni Student Choice Awards.
Our Centre for Academic Skills and English (CASE) provides 1-2-1 tailored academic support, and through HIRED, students can tap into placements through our network of over 1,000 employer partners.
We also offer first-class mental health and wellbeing, disability and neurodiversity support, as well as a range of financial support through scholarships and bursaries, including our free £5,000 Cost of Living Allowance to help students with expenses.
Easily connected to the rest of the UK and the world, our location is also a draw for students as we are surrounded by booming businesses, green spaces, vibrant nightlife and a mix of cultures right on our doorstep.
