What is our university like?

Find out about our campus atmosphere, locations and general environment.

Background

Our university has two campuses: Bishop Otter Campus (often abbreviated to BOC and located at Chichester) and Bognor Regis Campus (often abbreviated to BRC and located at Bognor Regis)

There is a library, places to eat/drink, lots of outside spaces, and a variety of Student Services.

Our University has around 5,400 students from a wide variety of different backgrounds and cultures, and we employ approximately 1000 staff. This means that campus can be busy at times.

Teaching sessions will take place in a variety of buildings, depending on the subject you choose. On the Chichester campus lots of the teaching takes place in either the Academic Building (AB) or University House (UH). There are also plenty of more specialist teaching spaces for practical subjects or those linked to Health.
