University of Gloucestershire

About us

University of Gloucestershire is a diverse, vibrant community of 11,300 students and 900 staff with campuses in Cheltenham and Gloucester.

Our teaching dates back to 1847; we’ve come a long way since then and have exciting plans for the future.

About UoG

UoG is a vibrant and friendly university welcoming students from all over the world. Our smaller size means we have a strong sense of community with outstanding support systems that enable students to thrive.

Our three campuses are set across the city of Gloucester (Oxstalls) and its neighbouring town of Cheltenham (Park and Francis Close Hall) on the edge of the Cotswolds, the UK’s largest Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

An exciting new addition to our teaching and learning space will be City Campus in the heart of Gloucester’s historic centre, due to open in autumn 2025.

Our unique location is well connected by road, rail and air, with Bristol and Birmingham within an hour’s reach.
