About Us

Creative and dynamic

We are a welcoming and inclusive community with an eclectic mix of undergraduates, postgraduates and staff. You choose when and how you want to be involved in community life, be it through a club, society or just lunch in the dining hall with friends.

Student Support

With our experienced Student Support and Development Team, our Mentor system and the JCR Welfare Team, there is always someone to talk to. See our Student Support and Wellbeing page for more information.

We are only a short distance from the city centre. Our location on the Hill gives lots of open space and plenty of stunning vie
