Our at-a-glance guide to the University of the West of England, Bristol

UWE Bristol has grown considerably and recently almost doubled the size of its main campus at Frenchay. Students are drawn from a wide range of backgrounds, and the university is keen to take on students with a broad range of qualifications and experience. The graduate employment record is consistently impressive and the university has started running its own unique graduate development programme. The three campuses are spread across the lovely city of Bristol, which is the largest city in the south-west, with an impressive music scene and cultural life, and gorgeous historic buildings. It's very student-friendly and many first-time visitors instantly fall in love with it.
