University of Gloucestershire has been highly commended in the Large Employer of the Year category at this year’s C2S Business Awards, recognising the University’s contribution as one of the county’s leading employers and its impact on the region. 

The award celebrates large organisations that demonstrate outstanding business performance, innovation, leadership and a positive contribution to their communities. 

University of Gloucestershire’s submission highlighted many achievements including strong graduate outcomes and major investment in facilities that benefit both students and the wider community – particularly City Campus and FutureSim. 

Judges also recognised the University’s role as a driver of skills, innovation and economic growth, including ongoing work to support the Golden Valley development.  

All these activities reflect University of Gloucestershire’s Connected University approach, bringing together education, employers and civic partners to create opportunities across Gloucestershire.
