The University of Gloucestershire is a University with over 160 years of history, based on four main campuses in the centrally located towns of Cheltenham and Gloucester. We offer an extensive range of undergraduate, postgraduate master’s and PhD degrees. All our courses achieved the highest rating in the last teaching quality assessment and several areas were highlighted as examples of good practice.
With 8,000 students we are big enough to offer variety and flexibility in our courses, yet small enough that you can expect a friendly atmosphere and a very personal level of support. Our on-campus accommodation, free bus services, orientation programme and dedicated international student support services are there to make your transition from Nigeria to the UK as easy as possible. Indeed, the Times Higher Education Supplement League Table on Overall Student Experience placed the University of Gloucestershire in the top three of all ‘new universities’ in December 2007.
