At Suffolk, students are a name, not a number. Suffolk knows that everyone learns in different ways, using small teaching groups to provide a more personalised learning experience. Most courses use the pioneering ‘Block and Blend’ module structure, allowing students to get more out of their studies. Suffolk aligns the best traditions of higher education with the entrepreneurial spirit of the modern world. It offers game-changing facilities and sustainability at its core, within an environment where students are seen, supported, and inspired. Perfectly located on a beautiful waterfront campus, a spontaneous trip to the beach is as easy as hopping on a train to London.
The University of Suffolk puts employability at the heart of studying for a degree to ensure students are brilliantly equipped for the jobs market, whatever their chosen career path. Courses are designed to provide real-world work experience with access to internships, placements, volunteer roles and even paid work via the jobs board. This enables Suffolk’s graduates to start their careers with the skills and experience they need to tackle the challenges and opportunities posed by an ever-changing global jobs market. Suffolk even continues to provide careers support for as long as students need it, even after they graduate, for whatever surprises life throws their way.
At Suffolk, the course teams, library/support staff and a community of people on site all get to know the students to ease the academic journey. The waterfront location creates a relaxing backdrop to studies, moving around campus or taking time out to reflect on the day. At Suffolk, students are part of a community, money goes further, friends for life are made and the surrounding area offers lots of choices. A morning of study on campus overlooking the marina can easily become a lively pub lunch, followed by a breezy walk on the beach and a night out organised by the Students’ Union. At Suffolk, students make their own choices and shape their university experience to suit them.
