Campus and Facilities
We have been offering high quality degrees since 1993, during which time we've continued to broaden the choice of programmes we offer, partnering with three major Universities in the South West of England.
We have also invested tens of millions of pounds in the fantastic facilities across our campuses to create a modern, welcoming and specialist learning environment for our students.
Winter Gardens
We have spent millions of pounds to create a new University Centre in Weston’s iconic Winter Gardens Pavilion on the town’s seafront. It is a few minutes’ walk from our main Knightstone building on the recently-redeveloped Italian Gardens. Many of our support staff are based in the new part of the building and we encourage all of our students to take advantage of everything the Winter Gardens has to offer, which includes classrooms, group and individual study areas and a bistro and coffee shop. We also use the building’s famous ballroom for lots of events throughout the year, including Graduation and the annual UCW Awards where we celebrate all of our students’ successes.
