Accommodation at the Stoke-on-Trent Campus

We've undergone a huge refurbishment of all of our standard accommodation and can't wait to share the new look Halls and Houses with all of our new residents. You'll find our famously friendly community spirit everywhere on campus, but it really comes to life in our accommodation.

Not one to forget our roots, we've named all of our halls after the potters and manufacturers that made this city and community what it is. Now it's all yours to explore.

All of our Stoke-on-Trent accommodation is no more than a five minute walk from university study buildings and we're right in the heart of the on-campus night life.

Included with all of our Stoke accommodation is internet access, utility bills, up to £5000 contents insurance, and access to all of our Residence Life events - all for no extra cost!

Our contract length is 39 weeks, from moving-in day through to the following June. There's no need to move out over any semester breaks.

The core activity at Staffordshire University is centred around two campuses in Stoke-on-Trent, and Stafford. Two more recent developments have added new campuses and extended the range of provision.

The integration into the University of the Shropshire and Staffordshire College of Nursing and Midwifery based at Stafford, Shrewsbury, Telford and Oswestry was completed in 1995. In 1998 the University opened a new campus in Lichfield, which is jointly owned with Tamworth and Lichfield College.

Stafford Campus

Lichfield Campus
The Staffordshire University Lichfield Centre is a unique partnership between Staffordshire University and South Staffordshire College.

The Lichfield campus offers an excellent opportunity to learners in the region north east of Birmingham and complements work we are doing with West Midlands organisations. We believe that this extension of our education offer deeper into the West Midlands provides opportunities to a growing number of learners to access study in Staffordshire.

At the Lichfield campus the University offers:

Faculty of Business, Education and Law: Education Studies: PGCE Primary Education programme; CPD programmes; Master’s and Doctoral programmes, as well as the BA Early Childhood Studies top up programme.
Faculty of Computing, Engineering and Sciences: HNC in Web development
Faculty of Health Sciences: BA (Hons) in Social Work
