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. 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 can trace its earliest civic history to the Cheltenham Training College, which was established in 1847 by the Reverend Francis Close.[8][9][10] In 1921, the Cheltenham Training College separated into two schools, St Paul's College of Education and St Mary's College of Education, which eventually merged in 1979.[8] The College of St Paul & St Mary went on to combine with the Gloucestershire College of Arts & Technology in 1990, forming the Cheltenham and Gloucester College of Higher Education. In October 2001, the college was awarded university status.[8]

The university provides almost 100 undergraduate courses and around 57 taught post-graduate courses within eight schools.[11]

A 10-year memorandum of understanding exists between the university, Gloucestershire College and South Gloucestershire and Stroud College to support access to higher education.[12]

### Predecessor colleges and institutes

The following are points in the university's history appearing in the timeline.

* 1834 – Cheltenham Mechanics' Institute[13]
* 1840 – Gloucester Mechanics' Institute
* 1847 – Cheltenham Training College (Church Foundation)
* 1852 – Cheltenham School of Art
* 1920 – St Paul's College of Education
* 1920 – St Mary's College of Education

* 2001 – University of Gloucestershire

From 1992, Cheltenham & Gloucester College of Higher Education (CGCHE) was permitted to award first and postgraduate degrees, and in 1998 it achieved research degree-awarding powers. In 2001, the University of Gloucestershire was awarded university status.[14]

#### Mechanics' Institutes

Mechanics' Institutes developed in the United Kingdom over the 19th century. A number formed the earliest roots of Universities and Colleges. The Cheltenham Mechanics Institute is associated with a notable historical incident. A speaker, George Holyoake, became the last person prosecuted and convicted for blasphemy following a public lecture he delivered at the institute in April, 1842.[15][16]

#### Anglican Foundation

The Anglican Foundation of the University of Gloucestershire evolved from the Christian Foundation of the former colleges of St. Mary and St. Paul, merged as the College of St Paul and St Mary which united with the higher education courses of the Gloucestershire College of Arts & Technology subsequently to create the university. Until September 2011, Foundation Fellows played a significant role in the governance of the university. Following a review of governance by the university in 2010/11, it was agreed that council should be responsible for appointing all its external members. Foundation Fellows are still eligible to apply to council to become external members.[17]

### 2001-present day

In February 2012 Rennie Fritchie was announced as the new chancellor succeeding Lord Carey of Clifton, the former Archbishop of Canterbury. In late 2023, she was then succeeded by Michael Bichard, Baron Bichard, who currently holds the position. The Bishop of Gloucester Rachel Treweek serves as pro-chancellor. As of August 2023, Clare Marchant holds the post of vice-chancellor.[18]

#### 2009–2011

In 2009–2010 several formerly senior figures in the university resigned. In November 2009, Paul Bowler, the deputy vice-chancellor, resigned shortly after being suspended from his post only seven months after joining the institution. Paul Bowler, a former investment banker who joined Gloucestershire in May 2009, was on a week's leave when he was told not to return to work. On 7 December, a university spokesperson said, "The deputy vice-chancellor Paul Bowler, has resigned. Financial benefits have not been sought by Mr Bowler, who is leaving of his own accord to pursue other interests".[19]

In December 2009 Dr. Sharp, dean and associate pro vice-chancellor, following his resignation, took up a post in the new UK Higher Education International Unit.[20]

The vice-chancellor, Patricia Broadfoot, resigned in March 2010,[21] during conflicting views on the financial health of the institution.[22] The precise circumstances of this resignation and the salary paid to her as recorded in the public accounts have attracted various media attention being the reported highest of all UK vice-chancellors for the year.[23]

In May 2010, the chancellor, Lord Carey, resigned.[24]

In September 2010, Paul Bowler was a witness in an employment tribunal case brought by a member of staff of the university under the 'whistleblowing' legislation – the Public Interest Disclosure Act.[25] The tribunal found for the complainant and outcome was reported in the higher education press.[26][27]

In March 2011, Paul Hartley resigned.[28]

#### 2012 onwards

Stephen Marston, former vice-chancellor, has committed himself to listening to staff concerns.[29] He states 'new culture' being addressed and reports a new senior management human resources appointment.[30]

Since his appointment the university has been nominated for several awards for student support, including the Times Higher Leadership and Management awards for outstanding student services in 2014 and 2015,[31] and Outstanding Student Support by WhatUni.[32]

In 2015 applications rose by 6%, and the numbers confirming offers of places had increased by 18% when the official UCAS deadline passed.[33]

## Campuses

The university has three campuses located in Cheltenham and Gloucester.

### The Park

Park Campus – Elwes Reception

The Park, Cheltenham, is the largest of the campuses and is the administrative centre. It is located in the Park district of Cheltenham. The estate dates from the 19th century and was originally designed as zoological, botanical and horticultural gardens.[34]

The Media School was relocated to the Park Campus in 2011 from the former Pittville campus. The new facilities include a newsroom, television & radio studios, edit suites, and teaching facilities. It has been awarded Skillset Media Academy status[35] and is part of the North by Southwest – The Gloucestershire and Wiltshire Skillset Media Academy Partnership.[36]

Student accommodation is available in the Park villas, Challinor, Eldon & Merrowdown and Eldon & Merrowdown Annexe located on and next to the campus, as well as Spa Court and Regency Halls across the town of Cheltenham. A partnership with the Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust was launched in May 2009 and the Park Campus grounds became designated as a community green space.[37][38] The garden includes over 900 trees, both native and ornamental, a shallow lake and a meadow with native species.

### Francis Close Hall

Main Entrance to Francis Close Hall Campus Chapel at Francis Close Hall Campus

Francis Close Hall site includes restored historic buildings close to Cheltenham's town centre. The campus can trace its history back to the Cheltenham Training College founded by the Rev. Francis Close in 1847.[8][39]

The campus is also home to the university's Special Collections and Archives service, the official repository for the historic records of the university and predecessor institutions.[40] It contains several special collections relating to Gloucestershire and beyond. The department is custodian of the Bristol and Gloucestershire Archaeological Society Library, and curates and maintains the Gloucestershire Poets, Writers and Artists Collection, which includes works and artefacts relating to the Dymock Poets, Whittington Press, U A Fanthorpe, Michael Henry, James Elroy Flecker and the Forest of Dean Sculpture Trail. Other collections include the Local Heritage Initiative Archive. The service is open to staff, students and the public.

The campus has a mix of humanities, education, natural & social science and creative arts, the latter housed in open-plan illustration and landscape architecture studios, with VR technology, 3D printers and model making workshops.

Student accommodation is available in Shaftesbury Hall (on campus), Hardwick Halls and Pittville Student Village. Further accommodation includes St George's, St Mary's, Maidenhorn and Whitehart.

### The Centre for Fashion, Art and Photography

The Hardwick Centre for Fashion, Art and Photography opened in 2011 and is in close proximity to Francis Close Hall. The purpose-built studios cater for students studying a mixture of creative subjects including its Fine Art (undergraduate and postgraduate), Photography and Fashion degrees. There is a gallery for public exhibitions. It has recently been renamed as The Centre for Fashion, Art and Photography.[41]

### Oxstalls

Oxstalls Entrance Oxstalls campus

The campus is located in Gloucester and re-opened in 2002. It was closed in August 1993. Following protests about the removal of higher education from the city, a solution was reached with Gloucester City Council.[42][43] The campus site is from a predecessor college. It was a purpose-built site for the Gloucestershire College of Domestic Science until 1962 and became renamed as the Gloucestershire College of Education in 1967. The college was closed in 1980 to be part of the merger of four Gloucestershire Colleges in Gloucester and Cheltenham to form Gloucestershire College of Arts and Technology.[8][44]

The campus has range of sports facilities including a floodlit all-weather pitch, a fitness suite and laboratory facilities for a range of disciplines, including bio-assessment and a drumming laboratory, which has developed from the Clem Burke Drumming Project exploring the physical and psychological effects of drumming.[45]

Halls of residence were built on site in 2002 and house 175 students divided into 6 blocks (May, Birdlip, Cooper's, Crickley, Robinswood and Chalford). Additional Gloucester-based accommodation includes Ermin Hall and Upper Quay.[46]

A new £1.8 million performing arts centre at Oxstalls including four performance spaces and drama rooms opened in September 2015.[47]

In September 2018, the new School of Business and Technology, which was part of a £20 million development opened at Oxstalls.[48] This new building houses the Business, Accounting and Law courses.

### Pittville Student Village

The universities' estates strategy outlines a 10-year investment plan to refurbish, upgrade and develop facilities, which includes the Pittville Student Village project. In May 2013 some initial concepts and ideas for the redevelopment were presented. Plans included creating 450 extra bedrooms, to the existing 214 student rooms, plus a small retail unit and sports facilities.[49] Additional public consultation sessions in August and September 2014 presented plans to build additional accommodation to a total of 791 beds against widespread opposition from the local residents.[50] The plans for Pittville Student Village were approved by Cheltenham Borough Council's planning committee on 16 July 2015.[51] The new student village will increase the number of beds to 794 and also includes new office space for several administrative departments as well as sports facilities.[52] Pittville Student Village was officially opened on 5 April 2018 by artist PJ Crook, a Gloucestershire alumna, to mark the campus' history as an art school.[53]

### Former campuses

#### Pittville

The Pittville site is located on Albert Road, Cheltenham, and was the home of the Faculty of Media, Art and Communications. It was founded as Cheltenham School of Art over 150 years ago[8][54] The campus closed in 2011 with courses from the Faculty of Media, Arts and Technology located at Hardwick and the Park[55] and has since been reopened as a new student village.

### Environmental sustainability

The university has had an environmental sustainability strategy since 1993, and was the first British university to meet the ISO 14001 environmental management standard.[56] In the People & Planet Green League 2016 it was ranked as the second greenest university in the UK.[57] The university is the only British institution to be consistently ranked in the top six of the league since its inception in 2007.[56] The university is also a regular winner at the EUAC Green Gown Awards, winning the award for Continuous Improvement in 2008 and 2014.[58] RCE Severn is a Regional Centre of Expertise (RCE) in Sustainability Education based at the university. It is endorsed by the United Nations University and one of 85 similar centres throughout the world.[59]

## Student life

### Students' Union

The University of Gloucestershire's Students' Union has four full-time officers and 11 part-time officers. The officers are voted for by students,[107] and the current president (2020/21) is Luc Brown. The Students' Union provides a number of opportunities for students including volunteering and part-time work.[108] The Students' Union runs an annual summer ball.

The Students' Union supports the running of over 30 sports teams' societies ranging from Rugby, Netball and Hockey to Equestrian, Trampoline and Kendo. Societies include Beekeeping, RAG (Raising and Giving) and subject-based societies. The University of Gloucestershire competes in a sports varsity tournament every year playing against the University of Worcester and until 2015 remained undefeated for 10 years. The Varsity2015 events attracted controversy following scuffles between students from each University during the Rugby Union match.

The Students' Union organises the Student-Led Teaching Awards which invites students to vote for outstanding teaching and support staff. The ceremony is held jointly with the university's Staff Excellence Awards at Cheltenham Town Hall.[109]

Tone Radio is the official student radio station. It broadcasts from Park Campus and is run by the members. It was set up in 2006.[110]

### Student services

The University of Gloucestershire launched the Degreeplus initiative in 2012 designed to give students the chance to increase their employability through volunteering, entrepreneurship and internships. A focus on skills development is channelled through the Degreeplus Award scheme, encouraging students to fully participate in university life, gain work-related experience and receive formal recognition for extra-curricular achievements.[111]

The successful completion of the Degreeplus Award forms part of the learner's Higher Education Achievement Report (HEAR)

Student Helpzones are located on each campus, where students can go to receive advice, support and assistance on any issues.

### Sport

The university's School of Sport and Exercise is one of the largest providers of sport and exercise programmes in the UK. It is a Centre of Excellence for elite women's rugby sevens[112] and is the only university to own a professional rugby league team, the University of Gloucestershire All Golds.[113]

The University of Gloucestershire has a long sporting tradition and, in particular, seven focus sports, Rugby League, Rugby Union, hockey, football, tennis, netball and volleyball.[114]

The university has been at the forefront of developing rugby league at student level for nearly a decade. It has now moved into the professional ranks, with the Gloucestershire All Golds rugby league team entering Championship 1 in March 2013.[115] In 2016 the All Golds also entered a team into the RFL Conference League South.[116]

#### Sport Malawi

In 2012 the university's Sport Malawi initiative won gold at the London 2012 Games-inspired Podium Awards. The Malawi National Olympic team was hosted by the university, which worked in partnership with Gloucester City Council, Cheltenham Borough Council, Sandford Parks Lido, and Aspire Sports and Cultural Trust to create a Gloucestershire Consortium which provided facilities for the team during their preparations for the London 2012 Olympic Games.[117]

Malawian athletes returned to the campus to train ahead of the 2014 Commonwealth Games.[118]

### Initiation rites and student behaviour

In October 2008, the university was subject to an investigation by journalists on student initiation rites, after the BBC obtained a copy of a secretly-filmed video featuring students with bags over their heads drinking and vomiting,[119] overlooked by another student dressed in what the press described as a "Nazi officer uniform".[120]

A further incident in December 2008 resulted in a Rugby Union club member vomiting on board a bus, following what a local newspaper called a "booze-fuelled initiation ceremony".[121]

## Enterprise

The university and GFirst Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP), opened the Growth Hub[122] on 1 October 2014.[123]

In 2013, the university opened up its first Enterprise Hub. The Enterprise Hubs are aimed specifically at early-stage creative and innovative entrepreneur-run businesses offering physical and virtual support to help their development. There are four physical incubation sites across Gloucester and Cheltenham. The hubs offer both office space and business advice.

The Venture programme has been created by the university to offer lectures, workshops and mentoring in business for both students and alumni.[124]

The university's Gloucestershire Enterprise Society, run by the Students' Union, offers students free business advice, talks and training as well as social events, trips and activities.[125]

## People associated with the university
