Facilities and Accommodation
We've invested over £500 million into our campus to make our facilities the best they can be for our students. During term time, the David Wilson Library is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for students to make use of the millions of books, archives and resources. And there's a café on the ground floor to quench those study time cravings!

Choose from two university-managed accommodation locations. Enjoy the vast green spaces The Village has to offer, only a 10-minute bus journey to main campus on our free shuttlebus, or The City which has had a £150 million investment to include more rooms for students, a variety of study spaces, and Freeman's Kitchen and Bar.

We have two sports centres, located in the heart of main campus and at The Village, with a range of facilities including a fully equipped gym, pools and sauna, pitches and course, and fitness classes.
