Our at-a-glance guide to the University of Gloucestershire

Students are spread over four campuses: three in Cheltenham and one in Gloucester. Cheltenham, in particular, is attractive, and both it and Gloucester can support a decent social life and have good links to bigger cities, as well as some appealing rural surroundings. The university is proud of its green credentials and sustainable policies: it was ranked number one in the green people and planet league of universities 2008. Learning is flexible - there are large groups of mature and part-time students - and courses are innovative. There is emphasis on industry links and work placements, with an eye to preparing you for a future career.
