University of Wolverhampton

Accommodation

First year accommodation is in walking distance of all three of the main campuses in Wolverhampton, Walsall, and Telford. There’s a free shuttle bus so students can easily get to class if they live on a different campus.

If students choose to live at Walsall or Telford, they’ll find each has a self-contained site with its own sense of community. For those with lectures in Wolverhampton, students will be living steps away from the city centre and all the bustle and welcome the city brings.

Students’ accommodation contracts run for 37 or 52 weeks, and costs will vary depending on the choice of accommodation, the contract length, and whether students prefer shared or en-suite bathroom facilities. All utilities are included in the rent, as well as basic contents insurance. If students are living away from home for the first time, they can be reassured by the 24-hour security and caretaking service.

University of Wolverhampton students on Whatuni say:

“All reasonable and safe, very quiet.”

“Cheap compared to others in the area, close to town and uni.”

Facilities

The facilities in each academic department have been accredited as ‘world-leading’. Libraries on each campus come complete with IT suites and study rooms. Online study facilities include ‘Ask a Librarian’ – where students can seek help about specific books from the comfort of their own bed.

Leisure facilities include gyms and sports halls. There is also Wi-Fi around the university – a vital element for everyday studying.

SU space at Wolverhampton and Walsall campuses includes pool tables, TV and games, while the larger Union on the Walsall site also has a juice bar, drop-in counselling service and holds regular events, from karaoke to quiz nights. Students are encouraged to run their own events too.

The new Springfield Campus is a £120 million project turning a 12-acre Grade II listed former brewery into Europe’s largest specialist construction and built environment campus. It is the new home of the School of Architecture and Built Environment, which recently opened its new £45 million building on-site.

University of Wolverhampton students on Whatuni say:

“The University library is still easily accessible even after the implementation of COVID-19 regulations and a booking system. I love how the uni has a laptop loan system for those who really need it.”

“Amazing labs, great lecture halls.”

“They are world class. The University has top-notch IT facilities, with a library that’s open 24/7. There's free Wi-Fi for all students as well as computers on all buildings. The look of the facilities is modern and appealing.”
