Bristol, UWE

UWE Bristol is a University Alliance university with a common mission to make the difference to our cities and regions. We use our experience of providing high quality teaching and research with real world impact to shape higher education and research policy for the benefit of our students and business and civic partners. We innovate together, learn from each other and support every member to transform lives and deliver growth.

Our teaching

With more than 600 courses on offer, at undergraduate, postgraduate, professional and short course level, we offer a broad range of subjects. These range from the arts, creative industries, health, science, business, law, environment and technology disciplines. We’re well known for the quality of our teaching, and for our holistic student experience. 

We’ve built close links with leading employers such as CERN, Rolls Royce, the NHS, Aardman Animation and the BBC. This ensures we develop your course with the right content and give you exposure to diverse professional opportunities. 

"We want our students to become ready and able graduates, who feel confident in their abilities and the part they have to play in the world." Professor Steve West, Vice-Chancellor

Our Campuses

Our 10 different Schools are spread across three campuses in and around Bristol.  

We have invested in the latest facilities and resources to give you access to everything you need to succeed – with £300m being spent on new industry-standard learning spaces and modern accommodation.

Our research and wider impact

Alongside our teaching, our academics are working on nationally and internationally-renowned research in many interesting areas – from robotics to appearance issues. As well as enriching our teaching, we ensure our research contributes to society and the economy through knowledge exchange, science communication, partnerships and supporting business innovation and growth.

We also play an active role in our city and wider region, and are seen by many employers and organisations as the "go-to university" for graduate recruitment.
