New Business School*


In March 2017, we were given the green light to expand our Oxstalls campus. The £30 million upgrade includes new sports facilities, a new Business School and new learning spaces. We’ve already started work on a range of exciting projects that will see new developments opening later this year – with the expansion of Oxstalls planned to be completed in 2018.

New Business SchoolOur new £16 million Business School (including Law) is planned to open in 2018 at Oxstalls and should attract 2,000 additional students from across the world – creating new opportunities for all those studying at the university.

Performing Arts and Events CentreOur Performing Arts and Events Centre opened in 2015 and comes fully equipped with a harlequin sprung floor, full lighting rig and sound, an acoustically designed music and singing room and a multi-media studio.

New nursing facilitiesNew teaching facilities for nursing have recently been unveiled, and include a purpose built suite for clinical skills and a dedicated teaching area for nursing courses.

New sports facilitiesWe’re bringing the Oxstalls campus and Oxstalls sports centre together to create a new sports hub for Gloucestershire. Planned for opening in 2018, students will benefit from new all-weather pitches, a cricket pavilion and a 12-court sports hall.

New student accommodationWe’re also building an additional halls of residence, at Blackfriars in Gloucester City Centre, to be opened September 2018.

From students to celebrities, people from all walks of life are proud to call Gloucestershire their home. HRH Prince Charles, Lily Allen, rugby’s Phil Vickery and artist Damien Hirst all have homes in the county. And many of our students choose to stay after graduating, finding work with multinational businesses including Superdry, Dyson and Zurich.

With over 45 festivals each year, Gloucestershire offers something for everyone – music, cricket, cider, food – it’s all here, drawing in big names and rising stars.

We’ve also got the great outdoors in abundance, from the picture-perfect Cotswolds to the ancient Forest of Dean. You can take the plunge at the Cotswold Water Park or scale new heights at the Warehouse Climbing Centre.

If you prefer to shop ‘til you drop, chic boutiques, chain stores and plenty in between offer a shopper’s paradise. And with a diverse nightlife boasting everything from dance floors to traditional pubs, comedy evenings to cocktail bars, our students grow and thrive here.

Our students work behind the scenes at the biggest international events in Gloucestershire. And when it’s time to play, they can be found on the pitch, out on the town, or soaking up the atmosphere of our festival county.
