The University of Bristol is a precinct university; therefore most of our 370 buildings are located in the heart of this lively, creative, multicultural city. A short stroll from the University precinct down Park Street with its stylish shops will take you to Bristol’s beautiful Harbourside. There you will find all kinds of diversions, from boats to bars and from cinemas to street art.
The government has declared that Bristol is one of the UK’s five ‘Centres of Cultural Excellence’. It is easy to see why. As well as all the things you might expect - cinemas, theatres, concert halls, museums, galleries – Bristol offers some more unusual treats, including festivals of kites, hot-air balloons, short films and animation. It also has a famously dynamic music and club scene.
Bristol has character, it is a thousand years old but right at the cutting edge. It is dynamic yet laid back, culturally rich but unpretentious. And it is big enough to provide everything you need while remaining human in scale.
