Highlights
Staffordshire University has campuses in Stoke, Stafford, Lichfield, Shrewsbury and London. Its unusual origins are that it started out in 1906 as a School of Mining before adding pottery to its courses. By 1971 it was the North Staffordshire Polytechnic and in 1992 it gained university status.
Staffordshire University provides residence hall accommodation for students to live conveniently close to classes in a shared community. The university has a selection of houses on Leek Road on the Stoke campus reserved for students studying at the Blackheath Lane campus in Stafford. Transportation is arranged to and from Stafford campus. International students are guaranteed accommodation at the Stoke-on-Trent campus if they have been offered a place on a full-time course at Staffordshire University and if they have filled out an application form.
There are over 20 sports clubs organised through Staffordshire University Sport, including Ultimate Frisbee and American Football. The campus has various facilities to use at leisure, including campus eats and a dedicated team for international student support. The One Staffs Café is a social event designed for use by international students predominantly, as they have the chance to meet other students, relax and chat in a relaxed setting.
Campuses
Staffordshire University is based in Stoke-on-Trent, a bustling city situated nearby to Manchester via train. The international student support team offers advice about all aspects of UK life so students know what to expect, and Stoke-on-Trent itself offers activities such as student bars, cafes and award-winning gardens. Students can visit the Regent Theatre or the multiple museums for a spot of culture, or enjoy something different with the world-famous ceramic festival.
Also, this is a great place for international students to study thanks to its central location within England, meaning that it's easy and quick to get to most major cities and tourist attractions. It also has a lower cost of living than many other parts of the UK, making it a more affordable place to study.
