More than just a place to sleep and study, our Vita Student accommodation is designed to help fuel your lifelong ambitions by giving you the support and tools you need to thrive whilst in university and afterwards.

So whether you’re an international student or looking to study close to home, your safety, comfort, and access to fun and interesting opportunities are among our top priorities.

Wondering how we do it?

From career-enhancing events to life-skills workshops, we provide a one-of-a-kind living experience that’s as much about future success as it is about comfort while at university.

Let us tell you more…

Exclusive Events to Kick-Start Success

At Vita Student, we believe success is more than just getting good grades—it’s about building the foundation for a bright future.

That’s why we regularly host a range of exclusive events tailored specifically to equip our residents with the knowledge and confidence to stand out in the ever-competitive job market.

These opportunities are unique to Vita Student and are designed to give you a head start in your career.

Take our Graduate Application Bootcamp Series, for example…

This isn’t your average career advice session.  Led by experts from Student Circus, it’s a comprehensive guide on how to land that dream graduate role. Our residents get hands-on experience in everything from interview skills and CV writing to navigating visa sponsorship and acing assessment centres.

It’s the kind of insider knowledge that gives you a serious advantage when you step out into the professional world.

But that’s not all…

Each year, we host Big Talks featuring some of the most inspiring names from global organisations. Past speakers include Professor Brian Cox, Stephen Attenborough from Virgin Galactic, and leading voices from Formula 1, Adidas, and the BBC!

These events provide our residents with incredible insights and direct access to the minds behind some of the world’s biggest success stories.

We also host Start-Up Series events, where successful entrepreneurs come in to share their journeys, giving budding business minds the inspiration and advice they need to start their own ventures. For those looking to build life skills beyond the classroom, our workshops cover everything from money management to mastering LinkedIn.

These practical skills are essential for success in the real world and are a key part of the Vita Student experience.

Career Guidance and Resources That Go Beyond

One of Vita Student’s standout features is the Career Service Pop-Ups. Imagine walking into the common area of your residence and finding a team of career experts ready and waiting to give you personalised guidance.

Whether it’s perfecting your CV, prepping for an interview, or figuring out visa processes, these pop-ups provide invaluable, one-on-one support—all without leaving your building.

Speaking of careers, every Vita Student resident also gets access to a Jobs Board that’s updated monthly.

We handpick graduate roles and internships from top-tier companies, many of which are Tier 2 visa sponsors. This allows international students to navigate the often-complicated process of securing a job with sponsorship.

And let’s not forget the Career Handbook

It’s packed with templates, resources, and expert advice and is available to all residents through their Vita Student online account.

Whether you are looking for an internship, a full-time position, or the know-how to start your own company, this amazing handbook offers everything you need to make informed, confident career choices.

Our focus isn’t just on career skills, though, but also mental well-being, building resilience, and confidence—things every student needs in today’s world.
