Campus life

The part timetables cannot describe

Two campuses, a hundred societies, and support services with published response targets. Here is what surrounds the studying.

Campus life

Societies that actually meet

Over a hundred societies, from the robotics league to the choral society. The union funds them on requests, not tradition — new ones start every term.
Two campuses, one bike lane

A riverside cycle path links both campuses in twenty-five minutes, and every hall has covered bike parking. Buses run every eight minutes in term time.
Halls with people in them

First-years are guaranteed a hall room, and wardens live on site. Commuting students keep lockers and kitchens on both campuses.
Support before you need it

The wellbeing centre on Hillfort and the clinic on Riverside carry GP practices, counselling with a two-week target, and study skills coaching.

Sport for every level

The sports park runs a gym, astro pitches, and a sports hall, with recreational leagues that welcome people who have never played competitively.

Food you can afford

Market Hall on Riverside and the union on Hillfort publish their prices, and the cheapest hot meal on either campus is capped at £3.50 with student ID.

Faith, quiet, and families

Two prayer rooms, a contemplative room, and a family room sit within the union buildings, bookable without a reason.
