Pioneering campus

By expanding into the capital and focusing on tech careers, we wanted to make Staffordshire University London a real powerhouse for educating the digital innovators and disruptors of the future.

And that’s why our campus is based at the heart of Here East, one of the largest technology hubs in Europe. The site is also home to a cluster of up-and-coming creative and forward-thinking businesses, including cyber security specialists and games developers.

You’ll have unparalleled access to professional networks, as well as opportunities for placements and internships. From day one, you’ll work with industry on live projects and run your own simulated companies.

Here East has thrown its commitment behind us by offering a scholarship programme for a select number of our students, who can get their full tuition fees paid.

The campus also has a radically different feel to a traditional university. It’s an open-plan and ultra-modern environment that mirrors the look and practices of the business world. A place designed to be aspirational and inspire new ways of learning. Since 2019, we’ve gone from strength to strength. Not only are we a Houdini Certified school, giving you access to top-grade software, but there’s also been a £3.5 million expansion to create more digital and specialist facilities and social areas.

Graduate success

We also have a vast network of successful graduates across the world, in fact, the 2023 Grads in Games’ Search for a Star winner was one of our very own graduates, Alvin Oblitey.

Our graduates are snapped up by some of the biggest games studios and tech firms in the UK and overseas. Staffordshire University alumni can be found in every corner of the games industry, including at companies such as Rockstar Games, Ubisoft, Rare, SEGA, Playground Games and Sumo Digital.
