Our gorgeous Walton Hall campus is just one of the many things we’re proud of at The OU. Set on parklands, with plenty of green spaces, cycle routes and walks nearby, its natural beauty is just one of the many draws of studying with us.
Our Walton Hall campus Library Building has a range of resources and facilities for you to use throughout the week, including bookable meeting rooms and quiet study spaces. It is also host to the Postgraduate Research Student Common Room, which is a hub for the cross-faculty community.
We have a fantastic lively on-campus restaurant, the Hub, where groups of research students meet throughout the day; in good weather, we sit out with paninis and coffee on the beautiful Mulberry lawn. The friendly Barista Bar provides hot drinks and treats.
Across the week, you can attend a variety of club sessions from dance, martial arts, choir, music clubs, ultimate frisbee and table-top games. We also offer facilities such as tennis courts, squash courts, football pitches and cricket grounds.
With over 40 clubs on campus to choose from badminton to films – check out your options on the OU Club website.
Our campus houses the purpose-built Acorn at Mulberry Bear Nursery and Pre-School. You can find more information on the Acorn at Mulberry Bear website.

The Walton Hall building is a late 17th century manor house and sits at the heart of our 111 acre campus.
The OU is very friendly and the campus is very green and pleasant with good walks in the surrounding parks. There are also good opportunities to engage in different activities, the tennis club is great!
