Our story

For more than 100 years, University of Staffordshire has been at the cutting edge of industries, driving change and shaping what comes next. We connect talent with opportunity and equip students with real-world skills for the jobs of the future.

In 2019, we embarked on an exciting new chapter by opening our London campus. It grew out of our leading reputation in games, tech and computing, with students benefiting from our huge global connections with the likes of Sony Entertainment, Playground Games and Ubisoft.

Based at Here East in Stratford – one of Europe’s largest tech and creative hubs – we can offer you unique access to incredible industry partnerships, placements and hands-on projects. It will give you the experience and contacts to really stand out from the competition.

Our partners include Into Games, which promotes diversity and innovation in UK video games development. If you’re an aspiring games designer, you’ll get phenomenal opportunities to work with real industry professionals, get specialised training and mentoring.

Since 2019, we’ve gone from strength to strength. Now we’re expanding our range of career-focused courses so you’ll have even more exciting opportunities. It’s all about connecting you with the world on your doorstep – a multicultural capital, with top jobs and global travel within easy reach.

Our campus in Stratford – built on the site of the former 2012 Olympics – is also at the centre of one of London’s most dynamic, creative and rapidly growing districts. As a student here, you’ll be at the heart of that transformation. The ultimate place to discover your destiny.

Pioneering campus

Step inside the campus of the future, where you’ll experience a radically different feel to a traditional university. Our open-plan, ultra-modern environment mirrors the look and practices of the real business world.

You’ll immerse yourself in hands-on projects, work in teams in our collaboration zones, and take control of your learning in our personalised study areas.

You could be creating and testing your own games, staging esports tournaments or learning ethical hacking skills by ‘breaking into’ our private, isolated network. Or you could be interviewing legal clients and presenting cases in front of a judge, using our simulated and real-world law environments.

And if you take our pioneering Visitor Attraction and Resort Management course, you’ll be learning at the heart of one of the UK’s most dynamic tourism spots. Our campus is right next door to the brand new V&A East Storehouse and set within Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.

Graduate success

We have connections with some of the biggest companies – and that means you do too. Our graduates have gone on to work for the likes of Naughty Dog, Checkpoint Software Technologies, Avanade and Rockstar Games. They also include the 2023 Grads in Games’ Search for a Star winner, Alvin Oblitey.

You could be following in the footsteps of our vast network of successful graduates across the world. University of Staffordshire alumni can be found in every corner of the games industry. This includes at companies such as Rockstar Games, Ubisoft, Rare, Playground Games and Sumo Digital. Now you could be joining this elite group by studying at University of Staffordshire London.
