Overview
The University of Gloucestershire is a public university based in Gloucestershire, England. It is located over three campuses, two in Cheltenham and one in Gloucester, namely Francis Close Hall, The Park and Oxstalls and a Centre for Fashion, Art and Photography in Cheltenham.
The university is the recent successor of a large number of merged, name-changed and reformed institutions of further and higher education. Its history spans nearly two centuries. It originates from the merger of two distinct strands of educational provision in Gloucestershire being that provided by Local Government and that founded by the Anglican Church.
The university provides almost 100 undergraduate courses and around 57 taught post-graduate courses within two faculties: the Faculty of Applied Sciences and Business and the Faculty of Art and Technology.
A 10-year Memorandum of Understanding exists between the university, Gloucestershire College and South Gloucestershire and Stroud College to support access to higher education. The University has announced a £57 million investment programme for its estates including a new £38m 794 bed village in Cheltenham and a new business school and sports facilities in Gloucester.
The university is organised into two faculties, and nine schools of study. These are: a) Faculty of Art and Technology: School of Art and Design, School of Computing and Technology, School of Liberal and Performing Arts, School of Media and School of Education, b) Faculty of Applied Sciences and Business: Business School, School of Sport and Exercise, School of Natural and Social Sciences and School of Health and Social Care.
The university is ranked 89th of 127 UK Higher Education institutions in The Complete University Guide for 2017 and it is not listed in the most recent global College and university rankings. The university is ranked in the top 20 in the UK for accounting and finance and for media and film studies, top 10 for film production and photography, top 4 for biosciences, and top 3 for Religious studies and theology. On the indicator that measures student satisfaction with feedback and assessment by lecturers, the university is in the top 30 universities nationally.
