Social Learning Zone

Campus life offers you a bright range of facilities — not only for learning and for supporting you though your studies — but also for making new friends and exercising your body as well as your mind!

The latest to be unveiled on campus is the £2.5 million Social Learning Zone with new 24-7 computer room and students’ union bar and offices. They all opened at the end of September and are already extremely popular.

The Social Learning Zone is a more chilled out version of a library. It’s packed with sofa seating and wireless networked so you can use a lap-top — or rent one from the university — grab books from the next-door library, maybe a coffee from the café and settle down to study in a relaxed atmosphere.

The new students’ union bar space — The Loft — has amazing views across campus for those wanting a peaceful drink and a full-on events programme for those looking for something more lively. The Social Learning Zone can convert into an events space for the union as well and live bands are set to be a regular attraction.

The 24-7 computer room is on a mezzanine floor and is open all day-every day, round the clock for those who want to burn the midnight oil. It will seat 50.

Everything you could want to support your studies — from 24-7 access to computers to the university shop that’s here to help you get a job — is now all under one roof.

Housed in our Student Centre are all the support services you may need to call on during your student life — from the student accommodation team to the careers service.
