Travel Reimbursement Scheme

We know how hard the cost of living crisis has hit our students and applicants. As part of our ongoing efforts to remove barriers to higher education to all learners, we've introduced a travel reimbursement scheme. This means if you are travelling to an Open Day, we’ll pay money towards your travel costs after the event.

Student life

Whether you want to meet new friends, grab a drink, play sport, pick up a new hobby or enjoy live music, our uplifting, inclusive campus community has something to suit all tastes. After exploring our campuses, you can look at the fantastic amenities on offer in the local area.

Quiet Programme

Open days are busy and can be overwhelming for some of our visitors. Therefore, we have a quiet programme at our Stoke-on-Trent open days. This is designed for students who are impacted by sensory overload, such as on the autism spectrum condition, have hearing or visual impairments, and for applicants who may struggle with social and communication or have anxiety.

This means that a lot of the larger talks and information sessions which would be open to mass audiences are being replicated but for smaller cohorts of students. We have a quiet ‘Why Staffs’ session available in the morning alongside quieter campus tours and a finance talk and our Open Day sessions are generally quieter in the afternoon.

The quiet programme is only available at our Stoke-on-Trent campus due to the size of the event and campus.

How to get here

Our campuses are well connected to local, regional and national transport links. All visitors are encouraged to take advantage of public transport to reduce emissions, and congestion on campus.
