University
and we’re
different
Founded more than 60 years ago on
the belief that we meet the demands
of a new kind of society, economy
and world, our principles resonate
now more than ever.
Nestled in 600 acres of countryside in the heart of the UK,
many of our students and a number of our staff live, as well
as study and work here. It’s a big campus but a small and
cosmopolitan community. We operate on a human scale,
providing people the space to think and plenty to do, with
a vast array of clubs, societies, activities and volunteering
opportunities. We successively rank at the very top of student
satisfaction surveys. This is because it’s more than green and
lovely, it’s a place of research and academic excellence too.
Whether it’s Health, Humanities and Social Sciences or Natural
Sciences, whatever your area of study, we deliver a unique and
international learning experience. We teach in small groups,
provide one-to-one access to our academics and value the
quality of our teaching as highly as our research.
Our degree programmes and foundation years have always
been distinctively challenging, flexible and foster a broader
based knowledge. Our interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary
approach doesn’t just underpin a wonderful education but
powers our world leading research. All of which also means
we deliver greater impact and value from our research and
teaching, globally as well as locally.
