Cutting-edge campuses
Our campuses are spread across Gloucester (Oxstalls) and Cheltenham (Park and Francis Close Hall). Each campus boasts industry-standard facilities to prepare you for real-world practices – from leading-edge bioscience labs to specialist media studios and editing suites.
We continually invest in our facilities to ensure students benefit from the latest technologies used in industry.
