Staffordshire University has a long and proud history of providing high quality, progressive and inclusive higher education for people from across Staffordshire, the region, the UK and the rest of the world. They remain committed to reaching out to their learners and users in their own communities at home and overseas. To support this commitment Stafforshire Uiversity works from their own premises and those of their various local and international partners. They have two main campuses in Stoke-on-Trent and Stafford and a co-funded University Centre in Lichfield (SULC).

The University continues to meet the needs of its students, partners, communities and employees now and in the future by embracing diversity, enabling and encouraging local regeneration and constantly seeking to provide easier access to learning for people from all walks of life.

The county of Staffordshire is located in an area known as the Midlands, a thriving region at the very heart of the UK that mixes vibrant cities and towns with wonderful countryside. Thanks to its central location, Staffordshire is also a good base to explore the rest of Great Britain. London is approximately one hour and twenty minutes away by train and you can be in Manchester or Birmingham in about forty minutes. The region has a good, low-cost bus network and the excellent road links make it easy to get around by car. A wonderful place to live and study, Staffordshire has excellent sporting facilities (There are 40 different sports clubs to choose from on campus alone!), cinemas, theatres, restaurants and nightlife. There are historic buildings and stately homes to discover.
The beautiful Peak District National Park (a great spot for walking and cycling) is only a short distance away, as is the famous Alton Towers theme park. Staffordshire University has two main campuses: one in Stafford and one in Stoke-on-Trent. There is a smaller campus in Lichfield, as well as teaching and learning facilities at two hospital sites in The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust..

The cost of living in Staffordshire is much lower than in many other parts of the UK, so your money will go further. Good value supermarkets are close to the university main campuses and local shops offer student-friendly prices. The university student accommodation is safe, secure and amongst the best and most affordable in the country. In fact, the Guardian/Virgin Alternative Guide to University recently voted Stafforshire, the third cheapest place to live in the UK.
University study bedrooms cost between £65 and £110 per week (depending on the room type and facilities). They also provide communal areas where students can cook and eat. Alternatively, there are good value restaurants and snack bars on campus. Each study bedroom is fully furnished. Most rooms have connection points for computer and telephone. There are shared kitchens, dining areas and shower rooms (unless en-suite accommodation). Shops and launderettes are close-by. They also run a landlord registration scheme. All properties available through the scheme have to be of a certain standard and the average cost is £42 a week (Stoke) and £52 a week (Stafford).

Working part-time during your studies is a great way to gain new skills and build your CV, as well as earn money to help pay the bills. Run by the university Careers Centre, JobShop can point you in the direction of local part-time work. The Careers Centre also advertises part-time jobs at JobZone. Another way of earning some extra money is by becoming a Student Ambassador. In addition, every year the Students’ Union trains more than 200 students for work in the Union. Both the Students’ Union and the Student Ambassador scheme offer flexible hours to fit around your studies.
