Background and History

The university's modern campus at Stag Hill was built in the 1960s, but the roots of the institution go back further to the founding of Battersea Polytechnic Institute in South London in 1891. Focused on science and technical subjects, the college gradually outgrow its buildings in London and relocated to a greenfield site in nearby Guildford. A second campus has been added since the institute gained university status in 1992.
