Institution Profile

About the University of Gloucestershire

We're home to a diverse and vibrant community of over 10,000 students from 60+ countries - the place to learn, grow, and make lasting connections.

Our small class sizes are what makes us stand out. Students are given the opportunity to work closely with their personal tutors throughout their time with us to discuss their ambitions and work towards their goals. Our lecturers are experienced in their fields, and help students secure relevant placements in their chosen industries that give them the contacts and experience needed to succeed once they graduate.

The Uni has three campuses across the beautiful spa town of Cheltenham and historic cathedral city of Gloucester. Each has its own green spaces and state-of-the-art facilities, including an international-standard Sports Arena, fully equipped Media centre and a Business School with trading rooms, moot court room and consumer behaviour lab.

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.
