More importantly, we are continually investing and refurbishing our estate with the fantastic Riverside Salon, licensed Riverside Restaurant, the Hopwood Theatre and our popular Sports Arena & Park. To ensure we are always offering the best facilities to our students - and the public - we are always looking for new ways to evolve our offering, including the expansion of our Centre for Life Sciences.

Our Arts, Graphic Design, Creative Media and Games Design students blew us away with their efforts at this year's show. So much of their work wouldn't look out of place in a public gallery! You can still see their work displayed between 10am-3pm Monday to Friday next week. Make sure you don't miss out on all of this extraordinary local talent.
