Telford Campus lifestyle

‘‘ My fondest memories include meeting amazing people and making friends, the eclectic culture, haunting the libraries and coffee stations before deadlines, the scenic bus rides to the Telford Campus and finally the sense of gratitude and achievement when you graduate! “ “ Naveen Jacob, BEng Electronics & Communication Engineering.

TELFORD

A MUSEUM FOR EVERYONE

We couldn’t talk about Telford without mentioning the Ironbridge Gorge Museums. With ten different attractions, from Jackfield Tile Museum, to Blists Hill Victorian Town, an annual pass should keep you busy all year. Alternatively, for some local heritage (with renowned cakes!), why not visit Sunnycroft, or Benthall Hall National Trust properties?

FITNESS CAN BE FUN

While you can go for a kick-about on campus, Telford offers an intriguing variety of alternative ways to get a bit of exercise, keep fit, and have fun. Perfect your Dancing On Ice moves at Telford Ice Rink, where you can also catch the ice-hockey team, Telford Tigers. Brush-up your slope skills indoors at Telford Snowboard and Ski Centre, or for an all-over workout try AIREA51’s trampolines and assault courses.

BEAUTIFUL TELFORD

With parks offering everything from woodland to canal walks, you’ll find remnants of the region’s industrial heritage interwoven in the landscape. Get your boots on and explore the Shropshire Hills – a listed Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, which includes the iconic Wrekin, a hill that’s clearly visible for miles and is popular with walkers.

SHOPPING AND SHOWREELS

Telford Shopping Centre’s 25 acres should keep your pedometer ticking. Or you’ll find top names like TK Maxx, Next and Gap at Telford Forge as well as the Southwater One complex. Take a break at one of its restaurants, or put your feet up and brush up on your film studies at the Imax cinema. Or if you prefer a more intimate independent cinema, head to the Wellington Orbit.
