What campuses does the University of Staffordshire have and what is taught at each?

Updated

The University of Staffordshire runs three main teaching locations: its city campus in Stoke-on-Trent, the Centre for Health Innovation in Stafford, and a London campus. Stoke-on-Trent is described as the University's nerve centre and hosts the broadest range of courses; Stafford specialises in healthcare education; London focuses on digital-first courses. Each campus also runs its own open days, so if you want to visit a specific site you need to book against that location rather than a single central event.

Stoke-on-Trent campus

The city campus in Stoke-on-Trent is the University's main hub. The homepage describes it as "the University's nerve centre," and it is the location listed first for open days across both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

What this means in practice: if you are looking for the widest choice of subject areas, or you are undecided about your field, this is the campus to check first. The site's course search is not split by campus on the homepage, so the practical step is to search for your subject and then confirm the delivery location on the individual course page.

Open days at Stoke-on-Trent

  • Saturday 17 October 2026 — Undergraduate
  • Saturday 17 October 2026 — Postgraduate
  • Wednesday 25 November 2026 — Postgraduate (online event)
  • Saturday 28 November 2026 — Undergraduate

Centre for Health Innovation, Stafford

The Stafford site is the University's specialist Centre for Health Innovation. The homepage states that the University delivers "world class healthcare education" there. This is the campus to look at if your interest is in healthcare-related subjects rather than the general course portfolio.

The same caveat applies as with Stoke-on-Trent: the homepage does not publish a full course-by-campus list, so confirm on the individual course page that your programme is taught in Stafford before you plan around it.

Open days at Stafford

  • Saturday 17 October 2026 — Undergraduate
  • Wednesday 25 November 2026 — Postgraduate (online event)
  • Saturday 28 November 2026 — Undergraduate

London campus

The London campus is described as offering "digital first courses." That phrasing signals the character of the provision rather than a complete subject list, so treat it as a direction of travel: if your interest is in digitally oriented programmes, this is the campus to investigate.

Open days at London

  • Saturday 17 October 2026 — Undergraduate and Postgraduate
  • Saturday 14 November 2026 — Undergraduate and Postgraduate
  • Wednesday 25 November 2026 — Postgraduate (online event)

Note that London lists a combined undergraduate and postgraduate session on 17 October and 14 November, whereas Stoke-on-Trent and Stafford separate the two levels on 17 October. If you are comparing campuses on the same day, check the booking page for each one rather than assuming the format is identical.

How to choose between the campuses

If your priority is… Look at… Why
Widest range of subjects Stoke-on-Trent Described as the University's nerve centre and main campus
Healthcare education Stafford (Centre for Health Innovation) The University's specialist healthcare site
Digitally focused courses London Described as offering digital-first courses
Visiting on 17 October 2026 Any of the three All three run sessions that day, but booking is separate per campus

Practical steps before you commit

  1. Search the course you want using the site's course search.
  2. Open the individual course page and confirm the campus where it is taught — the homepage does not map every course to a location.
  3. Book the open day for that specific campus, since bookings are listed separately for Stoke-on-Trent, Stafford and London.
  4. If you cannot attend in person, check whether the online postgraduate event on 25 November 2026 covers your campus of interest.

What the University says applies across all campuses

The homepage states that professional practice is guaranteed, with access to placements, work experience and international opportunities on every degree course, and that employability is embedded in every degree. It also cites 80% positive graduate destinations, defined as those in graduate-level jobs within 15 months of graduation, plus lifetime access to the careers service. These claims are presented as University-wide rather than campus-specific, so they are not a reason to pick one location over another — the campus decision should rest on subject and delivery format.
