We've got your back! - a message for our Connected community

COVID-19 crisis has posed countless challenges for our students and staff, yet we have remained flexible, adaptive and innovative.

Open hand with a rainbow band of light across the palm and fingers.

We have remained flexible, adaptive and innovative.

Our Connected University has all the right tools and services in place to support your learning and development, wherever you’re from and whatever your circumstances.

As a TEF Gold-rated institution, our brilliant and friendly staff have the knowledge skills and expertise necessary to help take your education to the next level, crisis or no crisis.

And as a Top 40 UK University (ranked 37th out of 121 institutions in The Guardian University League Tables 2020), nothing is going to stop us delivering first-class, industry-driven courses to our curious and daring students, this year, next year and every year after that.

Although it’s not yet clear how this global crisis will affect higher education delivery in the longer term, our team has been busy preparing a comprehensive suite of blended learning delivery models that can be tailored to suit any requirement and any eventuality.

Because when it comes to your health, safety and wellbeing, and the quality of your education, Staffordshire University is not willing to compromise.

Whatever the future holds, and whenever it’s time for our global comeback, we want you to know…We’ve got your back!
