University of Staffordshire

University of Staffordshire is an award-winning university with a long, proud heritage in the city Stoke-on-Trent. Our journey began in 1914 as a college dedicated to educating workers in local industries. We evolved to become a polytechnic and then a university. Now we are evolving again to reflect our commitment to Staffordshire and beyond.

For more than a century, we have helped to turn possibility into reality. A catalyst for change, empowering individuals to realise their full potential and make meaningful contributions to society.

Our in-house talent includes world-class researchers, internationally renowned academic leaders, and the job-ready students and graduates they cultivate. We offer industry-focused education, research and consultancy, backed up by campus-based innovation and tech hubs.

We are also integral to the economic and social fabric of Staffordshire, supporting regional growth through business collaborations and civic initiatives.
