Living here

Locals are famed for their humour and a deep-rooted sense of pride that stems from the city’s industrious working-class heritage.
Combine this with world-class arts, digital media and creative scenes, plus a legendary reputation for nightclubbing and live music, and you’d be hard-pressed for reasons not to study here.
