A new on-campus Student Village (around 1,000 en-suite rooms in flats and townhouses) opens on the Stoke-on-Trent campus in September 2026, with 24/7 security, CCTV and a SafeZone safety app. Per third-party accommodation-search aggregators, existing university-affiliated halls typically run from around £95 to £132 per person per week depending on room type, while private rooms in Stoke-on-Trent start from roughly £141/week -- confirm current rates directly with the university, as Stoke-on-Trent is one of England's more affordable student cities compared with London, Manchester or Birmingham.

Both the Stoke-on-Trent and Stafford campuses run on-campus catering. Stoke-on-Trent is a smaller city than Birmingham or Manchester, so the range of specialist international grocers and restaurants is more limited, though halal and South Asian grocery options exist in the city centre; students wanting a wider selection typically travel to nearby Birmingham (under an hour by train).

Main campus in Stoke-on-Trent, anchored by the 1914 Cadman Building with its Charles Vyse frieze, plus a Stafford campus (Stafford Centre for Healthcare, used by Nursing) and a London campus. Facilities include a purpose-built Games Centre with a Vicon Motion Capture Studio, a 60-seat Esports Arena with broadcast studio, and a £2m Crime Scene House and forensic simulation suite. A new on-campus Student Village (around 1,000 rooms) opens on the Stoke site in September 2026.

The university runs a SafeZone personal-safety app across its campuses, with 24/7 security and CCTV in the new Student Village halls. Stoke-on-Trent's overall crime rate is close to the English city average; students are advised to take routine precautions around the city centre at night and confirm current safety guidance directly with the university's International Student Support team. An International Student Support team assists with visas, banking and settling in, alongside academic skills and careers services. Nursing and other placement-based students must complete a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check, occupational health screening and sign a Contract of Professional Behaviour before starting supervised placements.
