At Â鶹ƵµÀ, we're more than just an educational institution. We're a dynamic community where you can grow, learn and create lasting memories. Here, you can hear from our students in our video and read more about our commitment to supporting and enhancing our students' overall university experience.
Your Home Away from Home
Living in College means joining a ready-made community of lifelong friends. Our modern, comfortable rooms are more than just a place to sleep: they're the heart of student life, where you’ll meet peers from diverse backgrounds and build connections that go beyond the classroom. Read our Accommodation section to find out how we take the pressure off socialising in the first few weeks of term, and help you establish meaningful connections from the start. From late-night study sessions to movie nights, our halls of residence are the heart of the welcoming and supportive environment that makes Murray Edwards feel like home.
Facilities and Societies
Murray Edwards is packed with facilities designed to make your university life as enjoyable and convenient as possible. Need a quiet spot to study? Our stunning library is open 24/7. Looking for a place to unwind? Head over to the Art Cafe, where you can relax, or grab a coffee. From the well-equipped gym to our beautiful college gardens, there’s always something happening on campus to keep you active and engaged. Read more on our Facilities page.
We also have loads of college societies! You are sure to find a club that suits your interests; whether that is connected to your subject, or a passion completely outside the classroom! Check out our Sports and Societies page to get some ideas about clubs that you want to join!
Wellbeing and Support
We understand that college life can sometimes be challenging, which is why Murray Edwards offers a range of support services to ensure you have everything you need to succeed and enjoy your time here. You can read more about our dedicated academic advice programme, mental health resources, and career counselling on the Health & Wellbeing and Student Services pages. We are committed to making sure you have a balanced and fulfilling experience, both academically and personally, and our staff are always ready to hear new ideas about student support.
