Visit our Campus
Visitors to our campus are impressed by its leafy surroundings, historic setting and friendly atmosphere - as you are already living in the UK, why not come and see it for yourself?
Attending one of our open events will give you the opportunity to see our accommodation and facilities, and to meet academic staff who can explain courses in depth and answer your questions.
If you can't make it to one of our open events we also offer weekly tours on a Wednesday afternoon, or you could take a look around campus on our virtual tour. If you would like to have a personal tour then please contact international@stmarys.ac.uk.
