Situated on the side of Stag Hill not far from Guildford’s town centre, the University campus is self contained.
All facilities are close to each other and the campus setting offers a controlled environment to live and study. Staff are easily contactable and amenities are on hand.
As the campus is on the side of a hill, ground floor levels between buildings can vary widely. Level changes in footpaths are generally stepped which can cause difficulty for students with mobility problems. However, there are routes to most places on campus using ramps.
If you have mobility difficulties, you should also contact the Faculty Fire Officer (through the Academic Faculty Office) who will discuss an evacuation plan with you. We recommend that you visit the campus in advance to ensure that we meet your needs.
We have the books you need you to help you get the best results.
AppleSeed Bookshop works directly with lecturers and provides custom-published books. Pick up your stuff straight away, or et us know what you want and we'll reserve it or post it to you.
For more information, including opening hours and contact details, just visit our website.
We have a launderette, post office, bank, bookstore, pharmacy, convenience store and health centre on the Stag Hill campus.
Our campus boasts its own à la carte restaurant, Lakeside, which is run by students from our prestigious School of Hospitality and Tourism Management.
Most of the campus and its buildings are generally accessible to students with mobility difficulties.
Students who have most successfully managed the campus have powered wheel chairs, mobility scooters or use their own cars.
If you are interested in visual art, we have our very own on-campus gallery. The Lewis Elton Gallery presents a dynamic series of exhibitions featuring nationally and internationally known artists. Students are always welcome to come to private views, which are usually attended by the exhibiting artist.
Guided campus tours run every Wednesday. Tours last approximately one hour and leave from Senate House Reception at 1pm prompt.
