St Mary’s University is located close to Teddington, Twickenham, Richmond and Kingston. Our campus and size mean that we really are a community university! Our 4 schools consist of Education, Theology & Leadership, Sport, Health and Applied Science, Arts and Humanities and Management and Social Science.

The University has approximately 6,000 students and nearly 800 bedrooms on campus. Our students have a varied range of interests inte - sports being especially popular. Our clubs and societies have over 1,000 members, and our West London Varsity event in which we compete against Brunel University is becoming bigger and better every year.

As a union we support our students, ensure that their welfare is looked after and provide them with entertainments via our clubs, societies and events.

The wide-ranging interests inte of our student base, location and community feel of St Mary’s make us ideal for both local and national advertisers – you can find out exactly what we can offer your organisation in this booklet.

We have a student database of 6,000, and we are able to target mailouts demographically.

We have numerous displays for posters. We can provide one company with the following spaces for ad campaigns during Welcome Fortnight- we can only offer one of these packages, as we need space for our own event publicity at this time.

The 10 x A3 posters will be placed on the staircase to the Union, which experiences a high footfall during Welcome Fortnight. The A1 poster will be placed in the Shannon Corridor, Corrido which is one of the busiest areas on campus at any time of year.

We want to work with companies that genuinely benefit our students and enrich their lives with their commercial offerings, and we think that our students will bring a great deal to your businesses in return.

Because of this, we pledge to do all that is reasonably possible to ensure that every business partnership we have is a successful one. It’s in both of our interests to make sure that our relationships are fruitful!

With this in mind, we hope that you’ll be as dedicated to your campaigns as we are - in the past, we’ve found the best relationships and results have come from the most hands-on companies.
