Facilities & Resources

The University's Jubilee Campus provides superb, modern facilities on an attractive, lakeside campus about one mile from the main University Park campus. A frequent shuttle bus runs between the two campuses and there is a walking and cycling link.

The Business School features an MSc resource room, seminar rooms, computer rooms and a coffee bar.

In 2004, the University opened a second Business School building on Jubilee Campus that has world-class facilities, including a full service Business Library, additional lecture theatres, seminar rooms, computer labs, and a café. The Exchange building on the campus includes large lecture theatres, a bookshop, a bank, a shop and a café opening onto a covered central atrium. There is a large restaurant that overlooks the lake beside the main pedestrian walkway.
