A university for the city
Fenmoor University (sample) began as an evening college for railway engineers. It still teaches anyone who can benefit, and a third of our students are the first in their family at university.
Teaching first, close to the city
Our first lectures were held in 1891 above a bank on College Road (sample). Today the campus covers sixty acres, but classes are still small: most seminars have fewer than twenty students.
Every undergraduate has a personal tutor for the whole degree, and every course publishes its full course map, so you know what you are signing up for.
