The Oxstalls Business School opened in 2018 as part of a £20m development. It provides students of business and law with a modern learning environment, light and airy classrooms and lecture theatres, and comfortable social spaces to meet friends or study independently.
Gloucestershire Business School has a live trading room, a customer experience lab, and a moot court room.
“The moot court is so inspiring. You wear barrister robes which fully immerses you into the role. It’s a truly unique experience which helps place you in the right mindset to achieve the best grades.”
