About Staffordshire University

Welcome to Staffordshire University. We’re proud to be an award-winning institution that places students at the heart of everything we do.

Our campus in Stoke-on-Trent is a vibrant and friendly community. It’s also well connected as we are right next to a mainline train station.

The University is connected in other ways too. Digitally innovative, with strong industry links and a mission to provide the next generation of education opportunities.

At our Centre for Health Innovation in Stafford, you can use our nationally leading clinical simulation suite, which brings scenarios to life through virtual reality. Or why not specialise in the careers of the future by studying at our London campus?

It's not just teaching where we’re making a difference. The 2021 Research Excellence Framework (REF) classed 68% of our research as world leading or internationally excellent.

Staffordshire University is transforming people, places and society. A catalyst for change.
