Living at home
More and more students are opting to live at home during their studies. Living at home and commuting to university can save you money on accommodation and bills. Plus you can still enjoy the best that campus life has to offer. At University of Staffordshire you don’t have to sacrifice the social aspects of the student experience by living off campus.
Commuting to university
Our Stoke-on-Trent campus is based on two sites just a few minutes’ walk apart. The Leek Road site is home to the Catalyst building and the Science Centre as well as our law, business and sports spaces. The College Road site is where you’ll find our Smart Zone, and is also packed with our computing, creative arts, engineering and library facilities.
By rail
Conveniently situated within 2 minutes walk of Stoke-on-Trent railway station, the campus is served by frequent direct services from national rail operators. We are 35 minutes by train from Manchester and 45 minutes from Birmingham. You can reach us from Milton Keynes in 60 minutes and London in 90 minutes. We are also less than half an hour from Crewe, Congleton, Macclesfield, Stafford and Stone.
By bus
Both our College Road and Leek Road sites have excellent bus links with the city centre and wider area. National Express coaches stop in front of the Beacon Building for direct cheaper travel to Birmingham, Manchester Airport and Manchester. More services are available from Hanley bus station, just over a mile away.
