International Student Experience

Our campus

Our single site, city-centre campus is a beautiful place to learn and socialise, just minutes away from the heart of the action in the city.

Our campus is beautiful, with green spaces and a blend of historic and modern architecture.

It is perfectly situated less than two minutes' walk away from the hustle and bustle of the main city centre shopping area.

Campus tours

Campus tours are a great way to see the campus and facilities. They run from May until November. Bookings open in the spring. Campus tours are also usually available during the September and January International Welcome weeks.
