Sort:Latest reviewsThe Campus is new and well maintain, theres a lot of security which make us feel safe, theres also an app for emergencies and reports which is great, union shops are great you can find there anything you need and theres lots of events in LRV. I also love the fact that theres lot of clubs and society you can joint here. Also is nice that university provide free gym for first year and many free sport clubs. Thats help me find my passion for jiu jitsu. The worst aspect is the location like there not many things you can do in stoke on Trent like the campus is most entertaining because we have our own clubs and cafeterias. Also the Art and desing henrion building required some renovation especialy the graphic desing/illustration studio the chairs and tables are old and not very comfortable. Like if we have renovated studion I'm sure more people will come and study there and we would have better creative flow because now it look very depressing.

I am a distance leaner that doesn’t access the university site, however, this is more than made up for by the exceptional support by academic tutors, lecturers, student support and library staff. The online communication is brilliant, with lots of live webinars run by the library, as well as the availability of one to one online meetings with library and student services staff. I have regularly online meetings with my academic tutor and I can also book one to ones with any of my module lecturers. I have been able to connect with other students and we have set up small weekly online study groups.
It's great
It has lots of equipment and an amazing virtual room where you can act out real life scenes

First gen student
The support is amazing and campus itself is very calm and welcoming, there’s plenty of student support for academics and wellbeing. I would recommend staffs to everyone, I took one look on an open day and decided on coming here.
The best aspect is the avilabilty of parking space at affordable rate. The environment, the librarey facility and inclusion. Continue to build on the afformention
Great facilities, with great lecturers that take care in making sure everyone is understanding and enjoying the content that is being covered. Lots of help is given to you by the university ranging from cv and career help or just a check in when you are not feeling 100% yourself. A lot of very great societies which you can take part in with great inclusion and every year some new society or club is created so there is always something for everyone.
Buildings like the Catalyst building was a great place to study but now that it is not 24 hours it has become less convenient to use.
The events and SU are good. The on-site accommodation is a mixed bag and the campus is not the prettiest. Stoke-on-Trent isn't much to write home about wither
Best aspects: accommodation is close to campus, computer labs are the best I've seen. Student support is great Worst aspects: stress anc anxiety due to deadline, although that's more personal.
Staffordshire has a good array of facilities, and a nice campus. It's inviting and has many places to socialise, but the recent decision to redo the library has limited the rooms for me to complete my independent study. The choice to make the newly built rooms staff only, while also pushing students from STEM subjects into the 24/7 rooms, means students like me who need specific software cannot complete their work. Stoke on Trent is not a good city for student life, though that isn't the universities' fault.
Great university
Lots of spaces to study quietly. Bit more support for students studying in year 2
Staffs is a great place to study, it's very inclusive of all backgrounds, and has a good student life with lots of societies and events. The support from staff is great and it has excellent facilities, at least for my course Illustration.
This university promotes inclusively and diversity. All staff show huge amounts of support for students, whether academic issues or other. I feel so confident in my study at this university and that is down to the support it provides to help students succeed.
Staffordshire University is a great place to study. The new facilities at the School of Health, Education, Policing and Sciences are great and really aid with practical learning. The lecturers and student union are very supportive and help with any concerns promptly and professionally.
