About us

Choose to do university right

At UWE Bristol, we empower our students to make a choice. To choose a university that pushes itself as much as it pushes you. To choose a community that’s breaking boundaries and leading the way. To choose a passion that excites, delights and gives you purpose.

Excellent employability

91% of our graduates are in work or further study 15 months after graduation, placing UWE Bristol in the top 40 UK universities for positive graduate employment prospects (Graduate Outcome Survey results from 2019/20, published 2022).

Support services

We know that heading to university is a big deal. It’s our aim as a university to give students all the tools they need to succeed. Services and resources available include academic personal tutors, faculty support staff, Peer Assisted Learning (student-to-student support scheme), student support advisers and a 24/7 wellbeing service.

Ready to change the world

You’re ready. Now’s your time. To build a better tomorrow and create the future you want to see. For yourself, for others, for the good of society and the world we live in. From our campuses to our teaching to our employability rates and our research, everything you need to make a positive impact is right here

What makes us different

Everything we do here is focused on preparing you for the real world. Our strong links with national and international employers allow us to design industry-relevant courses and offer fantastic placements and internships.

There’s much more to the UWE Bristol experience than just our courses. Music, sports, community projects, support networks, the list goes on. With over 160 societies and clubs to choose from, students are sure to find something great to get involved with, meet new people, and have fun.

One of our best assets is our city. Bristol is famous for its attitude of independent thinking, unique urban style and culture of innovative creativity. It’s not just a great place to live - music, arts, culture, green spaces, a buzzing food scene and fantastic festivals - it’s a great place to start a career too, a hotbed of creativity, innovation, research and tech. This variety of benefits makes Bristol a city buzzing with potential and whatever students are into, they’ll find it here.

There were many lectures that equipped you with the skills, knowledge and resources you needed. The lecturers were very helpful, so there was the freedom to be creative and ambitious, but in a supportive environment. I really thrived on the independence my course gave me, and I have taken these project management skills directly into the role I do now.
