First gen student
The uni is located in a convenient place, the campus is nearby to a lot of private accommodation as well as having great on campus halls where I stayed during my 1st year. The different study spaces on campus are excellent for focusing and getting coursework done, there are also many spots to grab some food or a drink while in between lectures with great variety. There are many societies which cater to everyone's needs, from sports, to gaming, to niche hobbies or course related clubs. There are also many events held at the uni such at club nights, karaoke, vintage clothing sales, exercise classes and many more. The uni also has amazing support teams on campus which are just an email away for anyone in need of learning support or mental health support. Overall I have enjoyed my time at this uni and look forward to the years to come! I have made many amazing friends for life and have excelled in my course, this uni was a perfect match for me and I'm very glad I chose to come here!
It's very close to Stoke on Trent station, a good location for students to go to uni by train.
Excellent atmosphere
More inclusivity for mature students
The lecturers are amazing always so helpful.. only issue is travel sometimes it's hard to get in
Lecturers have so much experience it helps a lot.
Good social opportunities, however stoke as a location is a bit lacking
Great University, would recommend it.
Modern and supportive for the adult learner
Great structure to courses
Really great 1st year
Very good.
The accomodation halls interiors have breeze blocks. It feels like a prison. There is no student life in Stoke. The campus feels bleak. They are building a student village which will improve the overall feel massively, however it's not built yet so I can't judge.
Great lecturers. Social and travel opportunities could be improved
I love my uni
It’s quite, and the support from staff is amazing.
It’s pretty cool
The professors are really professional and are always available to support students. The lectures’ pace can be fast but the teachers can easily adapt it for students that are having difficulties following. The facilities are modern and really nice, especially the Catalyst. However, the city of Stoke-on-Trent is not the best when it comes to night life and things to do, so the student union could try to make it a little more lively.
Great environment

The facilities are incredible, they're the main reason I came to this uni. With the Epic Games Lab and VR suite it really can't be topped. I've asked for support multiple times in the last two years and whether it be mental or academic, staff are always so accommodating and helpful. Life at Staffs Uni is comfortable, with technicians and security only a phone call away. While the location isn't the best especially with all the construction work going on at the moment, it's difficult to appreciate the wildlife sometimes. The looks of the buildings on campus, especially on the inside are clean and tidy. And the Students' Union has plenty of societies to join and enjoy.
Course content is amazing, and switching to similar courses is an especially simple and easy process. Teachers offer guidance and support while not spoon feeding you, and are present in every lecture. The facilities are amazing as mentioned previously
The location of Leek Road Houses are right where you need them; between campus, society locations, and nearby shops. I applied to live in Houses with one of my friends, and we got rooms next to each other with no hassle at all. The houses are good value for money, and are safe and properly managed. The wifi, while good for most circumstances, does not allow you to play online on the Nintendo Switch specifically, which is annoying.
