The largest proportion of courses are taught here, and many students live on Frenchay Campus too. With lectures on your doorstep, purpose-built accommodation, and everything from sports pitches to social spaces, it’s all here – see for yourself.

Glenside is home to allied health, nursing and midwifery students. Here, you’ll find the latest specialist facilities, including simulation suites to test your skills, and one of the UK's biggest specialist healthcare libraries. It’s all set in beautiful grounds in the Fishponds area of the city, three miles northeast of the centre – come and explore.
