The university offers state-of-the-art facilities and continually invests in its buildings, resources and technology to ensure students get the very best experience. On campus, all students have access to 24-hour libraries, extensive IT spaces and purpose-built study centres.
The university’s extensive on-campus sports facilities include a fully equipped gym, large sports hall and swimming pool. The off-campus sports complex offers grass and artificial pitches, an Olympic weightlifting gym and an indoor tennis centre.
Bristol students can join more than 70 sports clubs or compete in inter-university leagues. Student athletes can join the Performance Sport programme, which helps them combine a sporting career with academic study.
More than 6,500 places are available for undergraduates and postgraduates across the university’s three residential villages. There is accommodation to suit all tastes, from shared Georgian townhouses to large, modern residences right in the city centre.
Every university-managed residence provides internet, 24-hour security and pastoral support for residential life and wellbeing. Most residences have a common room, and many have study rooms, launderette and bike storage. The university also offers support with finding private accommodation in the city.
The main university campus and student residences are linked to the city centre and other places by frequent bus services, and most are within walking distance. Bristol is well-connected to other UK and European cities by train, coach and plane.
