Staffordshire University

Staffordshire University, founded in 1914, works as a public university that offers undergraduate, graduate, professional, and remote learning programs. Staffordshire University consists of two main campuses, one in Stoke-on-Trent and one in Stafford, and four minor study locations. Stoke-on-Trent is located in North Staffordshire, 45 minutes by rail from Manchester, while Stafford is located in south Staffordshire, around one hour from Birmingham. The University has six academic divisions, including Computing and Digital Technologies, Creative Arts and Engineering, Health and Social Care, Law, Policing and Forensics, and Life Sciences and Education. The University has formulated an Overseas Student Centre, which is part of Staffordshire University's Student Office, which offers various services to international students, such as English language instruction, academic and cultural support, and immigration guidance. A team of skilled English language teachers and two international student counselors work at the center. In addition to this, an International Welcome Program is held at the beginning of the year for students to know one another in the University. Further, the university's academic staff is continually contributing to world-leading research, which has helped them break into the top 1000 universities in the 2019 World University Rankings. The facilities provided by both the campuses are cutting-edge and industry-relevant, hence providing students with the opportunity to practice in professional settings like the Smart Zone, the Staffs Newsroom, the specialised sports Hub, and the Crime Scene House. The campus is also undergoing significant changes with huge investment, which includes a £30 million Science Centre, modernised learning rooms in the brand-new Beacon building, and many more innovative developments.
