Our video studios, green screen, as well as editing rooms and booths with iMacs, offer the technology to take you from pre-production to post-production.
School of Aviation and Security
We’re proud to be one of the few universities in the UK to have an Elite S812 FNPT II flight simulator available on campus for our pilot students. This crucial piece of equipment allows our students to put their knowledge into practice without leaving the ground.

Simulation suites
Simulation is an important aspect of our Nursing and Midwifery programmes. Students regularly spend time in these areas, to practice technical skills and use the newest technologies, in a safe and supportive environment.
School of Human and Social Sciences
The psychology labs give our students and researchers a space to apply theory to research, analyse complex data and unravel the mysteries of the brain. To help us understand human behaviour, we’ve invested in a range of equipment that tracks eye movements, measures physiological responses, and explores the use of Virtual Reality.
