What are we investing in?
As an educational institution and charity, University of Gloucestershire is not for profit. However, we make savings each year so that we can invest in improving facilities and building new ones.
FutureSim
FutureSim is a bold new £2.5 million investment that will transform how students learn, train and prepare for their future career.
Located at our Oxstalls Campus, the facility brings together cutting-edge simulation, AI-ready technology and real-world environments into one integrated hub. Designed in collaboration with industry partners, it will give students access to some of the most advanced learning facilities in the UK.
Whether studying health, social care, policing, education, cyber or AI, students will learn by doing in highly realistic settings that mirror professional practice.
FutureSim reflects our commitment to the future of our students and to meeting the evolving needs of industry.
Gloucester city campus
The University has purchased the old Debenhams building in Gloucester to develop as a new Gloucester campus teaching centre, City Campus. This is the start of a multimillion-pound investment programme, and the first phase opened at the start of the 2025-26 academic year. The second phase of development is now underway with the construction of the Three Counties Dental hub – in partnership with NHS Gloucestershire Integrated Care Board (ICB) with an investment cost of £3M.
This development represents a major boost to the regeneration of the city, as well as creating attractive, modern spaces for teaching and learning, we will be exploring options for working with local partners facilitating increased community engagement, and enabling the public to access services that could include learning, wellbeing, enterprise and culture.
Future Park
A £5.8m investment that offers an exciting new learning space at Park Campus for our Cyber Security, Computing, and Computer Games Design and Programming courses. It not only offers state-of-the-art equipment and technology for more than 500 students, the facilities offered are also available for local businesses and community organisations to use.
It is equipped with all the latest technology including a Cyber Control Centre, Virtual Reality Facility, digital lounge and chill-out area.
By acting as a hub for knowledge exchange and collaboration, FuturePark will play a key role in cementing Cheltenham, Gloucestershire and the region as the cyber capital of the UK.
