Founded: 2001   Total Students: 12,000+

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, Oxstalls and The Centre for Art and Photography being near to Francis Close Hall. 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 Cheltenham Mechanics' Institute was founded in 1834, while the Reverend Francis Close founded the Cheltenham Training College in 1847. In 1990, the two streams merged to form Cheltenham and Gloucester College of Higher Education. The university status was granted to the college in October 2001.
