Facilities

The Kennedy Building is home to the School of Economics and provides state-of-the-art facilities, for study and research.

Our new building opened its doors to students and staff in September 2019, designed with the intention of making it easy for you to access and absorb new ideas. With places to relax, meeting rooms, a well-equipped IT suite and designated postgraduate study spaces, it is also the perfect setting for the friendly community within our School.
