Social Opportunities
Do you have a particular interest in a
hobby or sport, and does the university
offer the opportunity to continue with this?
What sports facilities are available?
What societies are there?
Are there good social spaces within the
university such as a Student’s Union?
Research Intensive Universities
Research intensive universities offer a very
high quality of teaching that is research led.
The research undertaken at these
universities helps to address problems
in the wider world.
