Although we do not offer traditional halls of residence at our Barrow campus, accommodation is available. You will be able to speak to our accommodation team to learn more.
Whilst you’re visiting Barrow-in-Furness, take the opportunity to see what the Furness region has to offer. Our campus is a five-minute walk from Barrow town centre, offering a range of shops, eateries, and social spots for you to explore beyond your studies.
Want to go further, our neighbouring town, Ulverston, is a lovely market town with a series of specialist events throughout the year. Or you can explore the Lake District within 30 minutes of Barrow.
