About University of Gloucestershire

Address and Location

Gloucestershire University is spread over four campuses, three in Cheltenham and one in Gloucester. The Park, home of the university business school, is set in 24 acres of landscaped grounds near Montpellier, an attractive, lively area of Cheltenham. Francis Close Hall is close to Cheltenham town centre and provides facilities for the university's education, environmental science, humanities and social science courses. Media and art courses are based at nearby Pitville Studios. Oxstalls campus is a five minute drive from the centre of Gloucester and home to the sport, health and social care faculties.

Background and History

Gloucestershire University is the result of merging several HE institutions in the Gloucester-Cheltenham region. In 1992, Cheltenham Gloucester College of Higher Education was given permission to award degrees. The college received university status in 2001 and was subsequently renamed the University of Gloucestershire.

By Road: The university is easily accessible from London and the Midlands via the M4 and M5. From the M5, take Junction 11 and follow signs to Oxford (A40) and the university.

Is Gloucestershire the place for you?
