Student Life

As a student here, you’ll be part of a friendly, diverse and international community. You will have the best of both worlds, with a big, vibrant city on your doorstep and a supportive student environment.

From nightclubs and bars, to sporting pursuits, parks and cultural attractions, you will never be short of things to do in the surrounding area of Stratford. And if you want to hit the shops, we’ve got the giant shopping complex Westfield next door. It features more than 200 stores, dozens of places to eat out and a variety of entertainment venues.

On campus, we’ve got lots to offer too and plenty of opportunities to make new friends and feel part of student life. You can get a bite to eat and play a game at Reload Café, pursue your passionate interests by joining different clubs and societies, and relax in one of our social spaces.
