Location

The Business School is located on two campuses. The Stoke-on-Trent campus is located in the heart of 'The Potteries' and offers a city environment, particularly attractive to those who seek the cultural lifestyle associated with a city. The campus is two minutes walk from the main line railway station and 30 minutes walk from the City Centre of Hanley, with its modern shopping centre, cultural quarter and night clubs.

At Stafford the school is located on the Beaconside campus, which has one of the largest and best computing resources in Europe. The campus is 30 minutes walk from the town of Stafford, offering a more tranquil setting, with its combination of new and old buildings, quaint restaurants and with fast rail links to Birmingham, London and Manchester.
