Campus

Our single site, city-centre campus is a beautiful place to learn and socialise, just minutes away from the heart of the action in the city.

Our campus is beautiful, with green spaces and a blend of old and modern architecture.

It is perfectly situated less than two minutes' walk away from the hustle and bustle of the main city centre shopping area.
