University of Wolverhampton - City Campus

The University of Wolverhampton is a leading modern university with a tradition of providing opportunity and academic excellence dating back nearly 190 years.

Affiliated with MillionPlus, the University of Wolverhampton is a highly-ranked public university in England with four campuses at West Midlands, Staffordshire, and Shropshire. The main city campus is located in Wolverhampton city centre, with Compton Park situated in a parkland suburb. A third campus in Walsall is based a mile from Walsall town centre, while the fourth campus is in Telford on a greenfield site in the grounds of Priorslee Hall - a grade-II listed 18th Century redbrick mansion in Telford.

The roots of the University of Wolverhampton lie in the 19th century growth of Mechanics Institutes, which provided vocational and general education for working men. The Wolverhampton Free Library also developed technical, scientific, commercial and general classes. 

In 1992, Wolverhampton Polytechnic was granted university status and became the University of Wolverhampton. Today our four Faculties offer courses in over 70 different subjects and over 4,000 students graduate from Wolverhampton each year.

We continue to invest in our students, staff, alumni and in the local and international community. We have invested more than £125 million on campus developments and teaching facilities, including £50 million on improving our facilities at Walsall Campus; the innovative Performance Hub; new and refurbished Students’ Unions and further modernisation of our Learning Centres.

Accomodation

City Campus
If you are not a fan of early mornings you will be pleased to hear that City Campus accommodation is just a short walk from the Millennium City Building, where most of your lectures will be.

More reasons to choose City Campus accommodation:

• Choose from en-suite or shared bathroom – depending on your budget.
• Free shuttle bus if you need to get to the Walsall or Telford campus.
• Right next to a big 24 hour Asda – always a bonus.
• 15 minutes from the city centre, get your fill of shopping, pubs, clubs or swan around the art gallery.
• Easy access to Birmingham – about a 20 minute train journey.
• There is a block just for mature students who are starting to value sleep and want a friendly environment to study and socialise.
• Some single-sex blocks available.

Off-Campus Accommodation
We understand that some students may want to live in alternative accommodation that compliment their own requirements. You may want to live in a house with friends you have already made, share your room with your partner or try something new. Wherever you decide to live, we want you to have the best student experience and choose the best accommodation to meet your needs.

There are a number of purpose build student accommodation providers (non-University-owned) near our campuses which you may wish to consider.
