Campus

Our exciting development plans will not only see a world-class academic building and new residential accommodation by 2014, there are also improvements happening across the Newton Park campus which will be of benefit to staff and students very soon. In the coming months we will enliven and enhance teaching, learning and social spaces with new furniture, refurbishment and redecoration to further modernise facilities.
