WELCOME

The University of Winchester is located close to the centre of the ancient cathedral city of Winchester, an hour away from London in the shadow of the beautiful South Downs. It also has a site in Basingstoke known as Chute House in the heart of its vibrant commercial sector.

Winchester is a university on a human scale, with under 6,000 students studying a broad range of programmes at both undergraduate and postgraduate level. The culture of the University is informal, with an emphasis on providing a supportive community for students to unlock their potential and become the best they can be in their chosen careers.



The institution has a long history, having been established in 1840, and it combines this heritage with innovative and forward-looking teaching and learning. Research and knowledge transfer is also key, underpinning all our teaching, from Foundation Degree to PhD level. Winchester has scholars who are at the very forefront of their disciplines.

The original Anglican Foundation established a strong commitment to public service which persists today in a value driven institution which lives up to its mission:

“To educate, to advance knowledge and to serve the public good.”

Our core values - Intellectual Freedom, Social justice, Diversity, Spirituality, Individuals Matter and Creativity underpin everything that the University does, for example our commitment to environmental sustainability where we aim to become an exemplar of good practice.

Winchester is a place where students have the opportunity, support and inspiration to excel. Come and join us!
