University of Staffordshire

University of Staffordshire is the place of possibility – built around individual students and their ambitions. This personalised approach means students get all the support they need to succeed and feel part of a diverse, inclusive and uplifting community. The university offers modern, industry-focused courses that provide a bridge between the classroom and real-world practice. There’s an emphasis on immersive learning experiences, where students develop their skills using simulated and virtual environments. Inside these simulation spaces, they can travel from crime scene to courtroom or ambulance to operating theatre. Students also work with industry on live projects and collaborations.

As a gateway to careers, the University of Staffordshire ensures students develop the skills, experience and confidence to feel fully prepared for the workplace. Its graduates head to lots of exciting destinations, like the NHS, major game studios, and well-known companies such as Amazon and Bentley. They also work on productions like Mission Impossible and Game of Thrones. To expose them to industry, every student has an offer of work experience. Other options are internships, tailored innovation projects with companies, and student consulting roles. In these, they can promote their specific skills to employers. Graduates can access support to create their own business start-ups, too.
