University of Gloucestershire
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. In March 2021 the university purchased the former Debenhams store in Gloucester City Centre, with a new campus due to open there in 2023. 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 university traces its earliest civic history to the Cheltenham Mechanics' Institute in 1834, and to the Cheltenham Training College in its Church history, established in 1847, by the Reverend Francis Close. Cheltenham and Gloucester College of Higher Education was created in 1990 from these two distinct strands: from the Gloucestershire College of Art and Design in Gloucester and Cheltenham, the North Gloucestershire College of Technology in Cheltenham, the Gloucester City College of Education, the Gloucestershire College of Education also in Gloucester and the merged Colleges of St Paul and St Mary both in Cheltenham. In October 2001, the college was awarded university status.The university provides almost 100 undergraduate courses and around 57 taught post-graduate courses within eight schools.A 10-year memorandum of understanding exists between the university, Gloucestershire College and South Gloucestershire and Stroud College to support access to higher education.
