University of Gloucestershire

When you join University of Gloucestershire you’ll get the best of a big university experience, but with adventure around every corner. With over 45 festivals each year, placements with global businesses on your doorstep and over 500 bars, clubs and pubs, Cheltenham and Gloucester offer students a unique and diverse home away from home.

Life in Cheltenham and Gloucester isn’t just about the activities you can find in the town and city centres, our university is set in the Cotswolds, the largest Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the UK! From hiking to cycling, paddle-boarding to climbing, our students love exploring what the county has to offer further afield.

From Ecology to Drama, LGBTQ+ to rugby, there are clubs and societies for everyone, no matter your interests or passions. Joining a society is a great way to add value to your university experience, making friends for life and connecting with people with similar interests.

University of Gloucestershire is spread across three vibrant campuses with each boasting a refectory, SU bar, library, study spaces and a Helpzone, where students can go for support.

Oxstalls campus in Gloucester is home to our sports, performing arts, health and business students, and has industry-standard facilities including a state-of-the-art Trading room and an environmental chamber.

Francis Close Hall in Cheltenham is our oldest campus; we’ve been training teachers here since 1847, and it’s also home to our humanities, science and arts students. Known as our ‘Hogwarts campus’, the buildings may be historic but the facilities are modern, featuring a crime scene house and interview suite and an industry-standard biomedical science lab.

Park campus, also in Cheltenham, is a creative hub where computing, media, design and technology students create and collaborate using the latest industry equipment, like a VFX green screen studio, ADR vocal booths and cyber security labs.
