Over 45 festivals each year, placements with global businesses on your doorstep and over 500 bars, clubs and pubs.
Cutting-edge campuses
Our campuses are spread across Gloucester (Oxstalls) and Cheltenham (Park, Francis Close Hall and Hardwick). 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.
Work started on our Gloucester city campus project in summer 2022 to transform Gloucester’s Debenhams building into a modern centre of teaching, learning and community partnerships.
