University of Wolverhampton

13 miles away from the big ole centre of Brum, Wolverhampton is not just part of Birmingham's urban spill, it has an identity of its own...and a slightly lazier twang. It’s not as alive and kicking as its bigger brother but it does have all the modern town amenities and discount-heavy chain pubs a student might want, even though it’s hardly a nightlife wonderland...more detail The main, rather institutional, campus has taken up residence in the city centre and there are other sites in rural Compton Park (for Business), sporty Walsall (Education, Sport, Performing Arts and Health) and the isolated Telford (Engineering, Social Work and more Business). The Uni’s big on vocational learning, with a fair few off-the-wall degrees (ie. Equestrian Studies), coupled with a pronounced ethos of academic support...more on academic  Little rug to cut in town but a shagpile carpet's worth in nearby Birmingham...more on entertainment Sports are Walsall-based with enough facilities to enthuse even the starchies of couch potatoes...more on sports Only disabled students are guaranteed Uni accommodation - it’s on a first-come, first-bedded basis - but locally, it’s cheap and as easy to find as lemons are to squeeze...more on housing The Uni tops up maintenance grants for the money-troubled to the joyful tune of £3,000...more on welfare
