Social facilities
Social life at the University is vibrant and diverse both on and off campus.
Clubs, bars and restaurants abound in Hatfield and nearby St Albans, and the Galleria shopping centre right next to our campus offers a multiscreen cinema, a discount shopping outlet, and a range of restaurants and cafes.
Of course, central London is just a 20 minute train journey away, so there really is no excuse to spend every night studying - as if you would!

I remember my time at uni every day. As well as meeting new people, getting involved and passing my exams, I learned what I wanted to do with my life.
