What’s it like to live and study in Suffolk? 

The University of Suffolk is located right on the waterfront in Ipswich – it’s a small campus with lecture theatres, accommodation, gym and student spaces all just a few minutes’ walk apart.  

The campus is close to the town centre, parks, sports and just a short journey to the seafront at Felixstowe or jump on a train to London.  

 At Suffolk, you will be part of community where you can be free to be yourself. Explore more on our Destination Suffolk.  

Our courses are supported by excellent, modern facilities across a range of subjects from simulated hospital wards in our health and wellbeing building to VR technology available to help with career development. 

Students at the University of Suffolk work closely with lectures and ongoing support is available to help build a strong foundation for a future career.
