Our London and Birmingham Branch Campuses offer a unique student experience, with accessible city centre locations and stimulating learning environments - you can pursue your ambitions at one of the world’s top 150 young universities (Times HE 2018)

As a student at the Branch Campuses, you are automatically a member of the Students Activities Association (SAA). The purpose of the SAA and its voluntary student Ambassadors is to engage with students and assist the running of student-centred events across campus.

The Student Relations Officer leads the SAA and is your point of call for student events and societies. They’re based in London and travel to Birmingham frequently.

At our Branch Campuses, we ensure that fears about finance do not constrain prospective students from considering university and reward academic excellence.

Our scholarships and early payment discounts have been introduced to promote wider access for students, endorsing our commitment to equal opportunities.

Professional Practice – Placement Year

If you decide that our BSc Hons Computing Systems degree is for you, we’re excited to be able to offer it with a Diploma in Professional Practice.

How this works:

During year 3 of this programme, you will have the option to undertake a placement year module – a great opportunity for students to develop knowledge and expertise that can be used in their final year.

We understand that living away from home is a big part of the student experience and appreciate the need for you to find the perfect place to live.
