Academic Facilities The Perry Library at the Southwark Campus houses over 400,000 books and provides access to over 12,000 journals in print and online. As well as staying open till midnight during term, members of the University can access its electronic resources via the internet. The Learning Resources Centre provides over 400 personal computers on open access (also until midnight) together with training, help, and advice. There are also libraries and IT provision at the health campuses. Leisure and Entertainment The new Student Centre is home to a range of activities and support for students including the Students’ Union which supports numerous societies ranging from cultural, such as African, Asian and Chinese, to the mainly social societies such as the D-Zone groups for those into dance music. An Athletic Union works within a central University Sports Academy, with a gym, fitness centre and sports hall located at the London Road building. Accommodation and Student Welfare Around 1,400 hall places are available close to the main campus at Southwark, with many rooms having en-suite facilities. The University guarantees accommodation to international students and gives priority to first and final year undergraduates. The University is constantly looking to develop and extend the benefits of its location and the features of its varied landscape. This leads us to create innovative new buildings, redevelop Grade II-listed properties and carry out a programme of changes and improvements that constantly further enhance our student offer.
