Money matters
Learning to manage your money is a life skill often learn through independent living at university. This calculator and tips can help you if you're new to budgeting and managing money.
Health Centre
If you're moving onto campus or living away from home, then you might want to consider registering yourself with the campus Health Centre. No one plans to become unwell, so register yourself before you need an appointment.
Cooking
All on campus accommodation is self catered and whilst there are many eateries, it's best (and cheaper!) to master a few skills in terms of cooking and meal prep! Blogger Annick shares their top tips for cooking at university.
Shopping
You can get everything you need on campus, but Cannon Park shopping centre is just a few minutes walk from campus. You'll find a Tesco, Aldi, Wilko, Boots, a Post Office and many more stores here.
Getting around
We're really well connected. We have a bus interchange on campus and our local train station is Canley. You can travel locally or nationally from both, with bus and train services to all over the UK.
You'll receive an ITS account as part of the enrolment process but you might like to install these apps ready to start with us.
