Making Business Your Home

One of the biggest changes you might face when studying at Staffordshire Business School is living away from home. This might seem daunting at first, but when you’re not proving yourself in the boardroom, there are great memories to be made, great experiences to have, and great friends to be found.

Although our focus is on giving you the stepping stone to a successful career in business, we are also committed to remembering our roots as a wider University. Our halls of residence are named after the famous potters and manufacturers that put Stoke-on-Trent on the map, and there are a variety of different options available depending on the experience you want to have while studying with us.

LIVE IN THE MIX If you want to be in the centre of the university action, our Leek Road Halls offer a chance to study and socialise right on your doorstep. These rooms are contemporary, comfortable and community focused, with a large kitchen complete with modern appliances, a comfy social space and relaxing bedroom area.

The majority of our accommodation opens out onto gardens, fields or courtyards. These great outdoor spaces are equipped with seating, outdoor ovens and charging points so you can keep up to date with the latest social feeds while you relax.

LIVE AMONGST NATURE Around its own enclosed courtyard space, Clarice Cliff Court provides bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms and shared kitchen facilities. The buildings are located next to our nature reserve and set back from the main campus area, giving it the chilled-out country vibe that is unique to a city campus like Stoke-on-Trent.

LIVE IN A CLOSE-KNIT COMMUNITY If you’re looking for something more homely, Leek Road Houses are perfect for you. In our popular terrace house style houses, you’ll have your own bedroom a spacious open plan kitchen and living space to relax with your new housemates. LIVE OFF CAMPUS If on-campus accommodation isn’t for you, don’t worry. There are a number of private housing and student housing in the local area to take advantage of. So you can live as close to, or as far away from the action as you want. It’s a great way to get a head-start on budgeting for the future, and the living options are endless.

CHANGE TOGETHER Going out in the world by yourself doesn’t mean you have to be alone. We have a dedicated team to make sure you settle in and help you get started with university life.

We have a team of Student Mentors who live in the accommodation and make sure that everyone is happy. They’re all students, so they know what it’s like to start a new adventure.

Student Mentors are the people to go to for help finding the best supermarkets in the area, the best places for a good night out, or where to do your laundry, for example. They are available seven days a week – even if you just want a cuppa and a chat.

YOUR PERSONAL WELFARE Another great facility we offer is an on-site NHS healthcare centre, with doctors available during the week. Once you’re registered, you’ll have full access to a local GP service – something that isn’t available at a lot of other universities. All this extra help means you can be as independent and community minded as you want – and really make the most of your time here.

SAFE AND SECURE Our Campus Security (an on-site support team) are available 24/7 and there’s even a friendly campus police officer who can give advice on personal safety.

Once you’ve received a course offer, you can apply for a room in our accommodation. Find out more at: www.staffs.ac.uk/accommodation
