Social spaces

There's more to student life than studying, so of course there are plenty of places to chill, relax, meet and make friends. But when you need a little quiet time, we've got you covered too.

Student Centre

The Student Centre is a student space where you can make connections, day or night. You can book a room for your society meeting, grab a few friends for a games night or just find a space to read a book.
