Studying at our Middleton campus...
You'll be no stranger to our state of the art Sports Park and Arena at our Middleton Campus. As well as our 3rd generation all-weather astroturf, our gym and fitness suites have all the latest technology in cardio and resistance equipment. We have personal training rooms for one-to-one tuition, along with teaching rooms full of equipment and learning materials.

The course was challenging at times but my tutors were very approachable and supportive. Hopwood Hall is a great place to study and is even more rewarding when you put time and effort in. Work on your time management, everyone gets 24 hours in a day and it’s up to you how you use yours.
