格鲁斯特大学的历史可以追溯到1847年，至今它仍保持着基督教的传统，但也同时欢迎其他不同宗教背景的学生。格鲁斯特大学的规模适中，既能保持友好的气氛，又有很多有趣之处。四个校区更是风格各异，既有获奖的现代化建筑，也有传统的校舍。格鲁斯特大学的国际学生来自亚洲、欧洲和非洲的60个国家，如如非洲、中国、日本、韩国、中东、欧洲、挪威、北美等学生在此学习。他们在该校学习包括英语语言到本科和研究生等各种水平的课程。这些学期前英语课程由切尔腾纳姆国际语言中心（CILC）教授，得到英国文化协会的认证。

目前有170多名学生正在进行研究式课程学习，这些课程以研究作为学习方式，毕业时可获得博士学位、教育学博士学位、哲学硕士学位或者研究式文学或理学硕士学位。入学之初，学生要确定一个领域，自己先进行深入的独立研究。之后如果开题报告得以通过，他就会在两名或更多导师的辅导下继续进行研究。

DBA课程

在全球工商界，研究型博士被推崇为在获得一般硕士学位之后，重要的获得个人和职业发展的途径。 在学位性质上，研究型博士等同于传统意义上的哲学博士 ，但更注重于实践研究，而非学术研究。格罗斯特大学商学院博士候选人在学习过程中，在全球知名的教授指导下，通过对从当前全球工商界实现高效管理中遇到的现实挑战出发，针对当前的业务和管理问题开展高水平的研究工作。 研究型博士候选人的学习和研究，主要聚焦在技术管理、业务创新、技术驱动的组织变革管理等主题上。

格罗斯特郡商学院研究型博士是面向中高层管理人士的高级学位项目。自1984年开创以来，该项目已经成长为全球性的项目，分别在德国，瑞士，土耳其，沙地阿拉伯与当地著名大学合作，培育研究型高级人才。面对中国地区的需求，格罗斯特郡商学院建立了研究型博士（北京）项目，在北京大学设立长期教学基地。每年招生两期，每期10-15名学员，每年1和9月份入学。学员全部在职学习，学期二到三年，有需要的学员可以申请将学习时间延长一至二年。

被录取的学员将作为英国格罗斯特商学院的国际学生正式注册，可在学校网站上查到相关学籍注册信息，并有权使用格罗斯特郡商学院的所有学术资源。

大学概况University Profile

Gloucestershire claims to offer undergraduates more time with academics than almost any other UK university. In most subjects, students are said to spend at least a quarter of their time in lectures, seminars or other supervised activities.

With 10,000 students on three campuses – two of them amidst the Regency glory of Cheltenham, the other in historic Gloucester – the university sells itself to applicants as a ‘close-knit, supportive community of staff and students’ with relatively small teaching groups. An emphasis on teaching is reflected in the fact that 14 of the staff have been recognised as National Teaching Fellows by the Higher Education Academy.

Gloucestershire was the first university for more than a century to have formal links with the Church of England when it achieved full university status in 2001. Originally a teacher training college founded in 1847, the university’s primary training courses are still rated as outstanding by Ofsted.

Other strengths are in sport, media, and art and design. There is a good range of work placements for students, which are undertaken by a third of all undergraduates. The Degreeplus initiative combines internships with additional training to improve students’ chances of getting a good job after graduating. There are dedicated ‘helpzones’ on each campus providing advice on academic or personal issues.

The university is investing £4m on new teaching accommodation after a campus reorganisation. A new media hub, with studio areas for fine art, photography and specialist design, has been the main addition.

Park Campus, is on the attractive site of the former College of St Mary, a mile from the centre of Cheltenham, and is the main base for the Faculty of Business, Education and Professional Studies.

Art and design, and the Institute of Education and Public Services, are closer to the town centre, at Francis Close Hall.

The Oxstalls campus, in Gloucester, was purpose-built a year after university status arrived and caters for sport and exercise sciences, leisure, tourism, hospitality and event management. Oxstalls also houses the Countryside and Community Research Institute, the largest rural research centre in the UK.

The three campuses are only seven miles apart, so students are not as isolated as they are in some split-site institutions. The former Pittville teaching campus in Cheltenham, which closed in 2011, is about to undergo a conversion into a student village to house 794 students. Existing residences still on the site will be refurbished and new ones built with the complex due to open in time for 2016’s intake of students.

Gloucestershire has a longstanding focus on green issues, and finished in the top three in the People and Planet Green League of universities’ environmental performance in 2013. Included in its opening pitch to would-be students on its website is the fact the university has run on green electricity since 1993. There are allotments for students, diplomas in environmentalism and an International Research Institute in Sustainability that brings together researchers from around the world, undertaking work for agencies such as Unesco.

The university also plays an active role promoting economic, cultural and social wellbeing in its county.  It is launching a Gloucestershire Growth Hub, in association with the Local Enterprise Partnership, to help local businesses and give students more opportunities to work on ‘real life’ business projects.

The main research strengths are in the environment, humanities, and sports sciences. Some world-leading research was found in five of the 12 areas in which the university submitted work in the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise, but less than 20% of all work reached the top two categories.

The university’s intake is diverse, with 96% of undergraduates from state schools and more than a third from working-class homes. About a third are recruited from Gloucestershire, and around a quarter from elsewhere in the Southwest. There is also a new joint venture with INTO providing preparatory programmes for international students.

The projected dropout rate has improved dramatically over recent years, and the latest projection of less than 7% is well below the national average for the university’s subjects and entry qualifications.

In addition to its conventional degrees, the university is offering 15 two-year “fast track” degrees, in subjects ranging from biology to events management and law. New courses for 2015 will include fashion design and sports journalism.

The university has a strong sporting tradition, with links to around 30 sports governing and coaching bodies.  Gloucestershire is the only university to have a professional rugby league team and counts amongst its alumni Lizzy Yarnold, who won gold at the 2014 Winter Olympics in the skeleton bob.

The facilities include a sports hall, gym and tennis courts. Even before the opening of the new Pittville student village, all first-year applicants in 2015 will be guaranteed accommodation in university halls or university managed accommodation if they accept Gloucestershire as their first choice and apply by the required deadline.

Worst feature

Being a split campus it’s hard for wholescale university involvement, but you develop small, more personal communities.

Making a difference

There are opportunities for our students to get involved with innovative social enterprises, such as our Cheltenham Chilli Company.
