Parkwood Campus
Parkwood Campus is comprised of our main building, our on site clinics, the Integrated Rehabilitation Centre, Cavendish House, and the student gym. Surrounded by beautiful wooded areas you will also find outdoor spaces to enjoy while on campus.
Main Building
This stunning grade II listed building (once a convent school in the early twentieth Century) is home to our lecture theatres, seminar rooms, student learning and some of our lifestyle facilities. To help navigate the main building is shaped like the letter ‘E’ with the library at the south and the campus café at the north. Check it out on the campus map and if you get lost there’s always someone around to point you in the right direction!
Library
Our beautiful library is situated in what was once the chapel to the convent. Complete with original stained-glass windows and sky-high ceilings, this room has since been adapted into a high-tech learning facility complete with over 10,000 books, 14,000+ online journals, medical databases, anatomical and other learning and academic software.
Chiropractic Clinic
Situated just behind the main building, across from the quad, is our chiropractic clinic. One of the largest placement clinics in Europe, we have 34 treatment rooms and a host of state-of-the-art equipment where we diagnose and treat patients. Here our fourth-year students will gain clinical experience diagnosing and treating patients, under the supervision of clinical chiropractic tutors.
