Unibuddy is a new initiative the University of Suffolk has joined, which connects prospective students with our student ambassadors. When looking at going to university, you might have a lot of questions such as…
How to apply to the University of Suffolk?
What courses are offered and how to find out more?
How can I become a Student Ambassador?
What accommodation is available on and off campus?
What else does the University offer? Societies, student life, events etc
Unibuddy enables you to chat to our student ambassadors so all of those questions you may have can be answered by people who have been through it all, giving you the confidence to make an informed decision and easy transition into uni life.
Send a message today to one of our friendly student ambassadors – they’re here to help.

Covid Update
Please see the measures we now have in place to help keep all our visitors safe and ensure the campus is a welcoming and safe place to visit.
The University is continuing to implement sensible and proportionate control measures to reduce any potential risks to staff, students and visitors.
The Waterfront Building
Face coverings are no longer a government-imposed restriction for students, staff and visitors in communal areas. Staff, students and visitors may still choose to wear face coverings and are recommended to do so in crowded or enclosed areas.
If you need to use the lifts, please wear a face covering and lift capacity is being limited to a maximum of two people for the time being.
Social distancing
Although the rules on social distancing have been relaxed, we are recommending that all visitors continue to follow the 1 metre rule and observe appropriate social distancing during your visit.
Symptoms
If you are experiencing any Covid symptoms, have been advised to isolate, you are requested not to visit the campus.
Contact tracing
Contact tracing will remain an important part of minimising transmission of COVID-19, therefore please continue to scan the QR code when you arrive on campus via the NHS COVID-19 App. By scanning a QR code you enable NHS Test and Trace to send notifications. If you are unable to access the NHS COVID-19 App, please complete one of the Track and Trace postcards at reception each time you are on campus.
Cleaning
We have increased our cleaning schedule of the campus which will remain in place. Hand-sanitiser stations will remain throughout the building. We are also keeping the campus buildings well ventilated.
Virtual Classroom
We will return to a virtual setting in the event of new COVID-19 restrictions.
