Study abroad at Cheltenham

Cheltenham (Cheltenham Spa) is Britain's most complete and elegant Regency spa town, located on the edge of the scenic Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in Gloucestershire, internationally famous for its historic Pittville Pump Room, The Promenade, renowned cultural festivals (Literature, Jazz, Science, Music), Cheltenham Gold Cup horse racing, and as the UK's premier national cyber security capital (home to GCHQ and the multi-million pound Golden Valley Cyber Tech Development). Cheltenham is home to the University of Gloucestershire (whose roots date back to 1847, operating beautiful historical and modern campuses in Cheltenham: Francis Close Hall, The Park, and Pittville Student Village). The university is acclaimed for its School of Computing and Cyber (with close industry ties to GCHQ, Cydar Medical, and leading defense contractors), School of Creative Arts & Media (world-class animation, graphic design, and film), School of Education & Humanities, and School of Business & Technology at Oxstalls. Degrees are taught 100% in English within the British higher education system. International students benefit from an exceptionally safe and scenic Cotswolds environment, cyber industry placements, affordable student living, and direct UK Student Visa (CAS) support.
