A public research university in and around Bristol, England, UK, is called the University of the West of England (commonly known as UWE Bristol). It is the largest higher education provider in the South West of England with more than 30,000 students and 3,000 employees.
In 1969, it was referred to as the Bristol Polytechnic; in 1992, it was granted university status and changed its name to the University of the West of England, Bristol. It shares a common ancestor with the Universities of Bristol and Bath, the Merchant Venturers’ Technical College, which was established as a college in 1595 by the Society of Merchant Venturers.
Greater Bristol is home to numerous campuses that make up UWE Bristol. As the majority of the school’s courses are taught there, the Frenchay location has the most students of any location. City Campus, which is made up of Bower Ashton Studios, Arnolfini, Spike Island, and Watershed, offers courses in the creative and cultural industries. The organization collaborates with the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School and accredits its graduate programs. An additional adult nursing cohort is headquartered at Gloucester Campus, while the majority of the Faculty of Health and Applied Sciences is housed in Frenchay and Glenside campuses. Animal sciences, sport, equestrian, agriculture, and conservation are all taught at Hartpury Campus.
