TEACHING
“As a chartered geographer, I am passionate about exploring and introducing new ideas, concepts and viewpoints into the student learning experience. I bring my research into my teaching, and I’ve developed different kinds of resources, such as bespoke video podcasts about exotic ecosystems, filmed in Australia, the Caribbean, French Guyana and Brazil. It brings what I’m teaching to life and hopefully makes my courses more interesting.”
Dr Jennifer HillAssociate Professor in Learning and Teaching, Geography and Environmental Management and National Teaching Fellow
The way we teach and structure our courses is designed to give you the knowledge and skills you need to go out into work – while getting you excited about learning, so you want to do more.
Many of our lecturers are world-renowned academics, leading the way in their chosen subject areas and actively contributing to new research in their particular fields. They share a passion for great teaching and for making sure you receive the best possible learning experience from the lectures, seminars and workshops you attend.
We see learning as a two-way process, so we’ll be encouraging you to question what you’re learning and to come up with your own ideas. It makes studying more enjoyable and you’ll take away far more from your experience.
The teaching at UWE Bristol is informed by our internationally influential research, as well as the latest thinking and developments from industry and the professions.
�� professional accreditationsOver 70 of our courses come with professional accreditation from industry bodies. Our students know they’re getting the skills and knowledge needed by employers and that their qualifications are highly valued by industry when it comes to applying for jobs.

THINK
Shortly after graduating from UWE Bristol with a sociology degree, Ben set up a snack box subscription scheme Graze with six friends. Tired of convenience snacking and unhealthy impulse buys, the friends saw a gap in the market for healthy, wholesome snacks which were fun to eat. Now a household name, Graze employs more then 400 staff, has a turnover of £70 million and has won a host of awards. The business manages everything from product development to retail.
“Studying sociology widened my horizons and gave me the analytical skills to start a project and take it all the way. My tutors always encouraged us to think outside the box and to find out what we’re really good at. That’s exactly what I did.”

During her course, Rosalind worked as part of the Space Medicine Office Team on a prestigious three-month internship at the European Space Agency in Cologne, Germany.
Her main project was evaluating an electrical muscle stimulation device that was being tested at the Astronaut Centre to see if it could be used as part of the astronaut fitness and rehabilitation programme.
“My background is in sports, but I realised I wanted to go into a medical environment. It’s been really exciting to be involved in this work and I’ve even managed to chat to a few astronauts about their experiences in space. I still can’t believe I was there.”

After doing her English degree at UWE Bristol, Alaana went straight into a graduate training programme at Rombourne Business Centres.
After two years at a healthcare marketing and business development agency, she was offered the job as International Director for BMI Healthcare, a leading UK provider of independent healthcare.
She set up her own international development department there, which is now turning over almost £10 million.
“My choice of degree has helped me form and articulate strong arguments, analyse behaviours and think laterally. My time at UWE Bristol gave me confidence and strength of character to understand what I am capable of achieving. The key is finding something you love, which inspires you and makes you want to get out of bed in the morning. Believe in yourself and your ability and other people will believe in you too.”

SHINE in a place that celebrates talent
Showcasing the finest talent from across the University
Each year, inspiring final-year projects and work from our creative, and our environment and technology courses, feature at our Degree Shows. Last year’s shows included: graphic design projects designed to challenge school children to invent a new sport; films about bullfighting in Barcelona, dog racing in south London and free parties in Bristol; skin cancer detection kits for older men; and a new kind of robotic toy allowing parents to interact with their children while they’re at work.
A selection of outstanding student work is exhibited at student shows in London each year, such as London Graduate Fashion Week and New Designers, opening doors to even wider opportunities.
Students are doing all kinds of inspiring work on our courses – and we showcase a selection every year at our Degree Shows. Always well attended, the shows are a chance for UWE Bristol students to get their work out there and to show their peers, family, friends and even potential employers, some of the amazing things they’re capable of.

Alongside our teaching, we’re conducting research, which is having a big impact on society and the economy.
Much of the research underway at UWE Bristol focuses on coming up with new solutions to some of society’s pressing challenges – both here and around the globe. Many of our researchers bring their cutting-edge ideas and discoveries into the classroom through teaching and project work, so you’ll get exposure to some of the latest thinking in your chosen field.
LEADING the way with cutting-edge research
Addressing body image issues
We’re pioneering new ways of thinking on issues like low body confidence and how it affects young people’s performance and aspirations. We’re looking at how social media affects adolescents’ body image and working with Dove as part of their Self Esteem project. Our work on appearance issues has contributed to national Government policy making.
Turning pee into power
Our ‘Pee Power’ initiative is attracting global attention. Working with Oxfam and others, scientists at UWE Bristol have investigated power generation using urine in the hope that ‘urine-tricity’ will provide much-needed power to refugee camps and disaster zones. Our ‘Pee Power’ urinals are now being used to provide electricity at the Glastonbury Festival.
Living with robots
The team at our internationally-renowned Bristol Robotics Lab has been looking at how robots and smart sensors can help older people stay independent for longer. Imagine if an elderly person could interact easily with a talking robot who could keep an eye on their health and nutrition, tell them who was at the door and detect when they needed exercise. That’s just one of the many robotics projects we’ve been working on recently.
“At UWE Bristol, our staff engage with exciting research which transforms society and organisations. Our professors ensure their research is experienced by our students while they’re engaged in learning and many students directly support this research while they’re studying here.”

Be where the opportunities are
With business booming in the city region and our established links with many of the organisations based here, you’ll be in a strong position to tap into the wide variety of employment opportunities on offer.
Engineering, the creative industries, finance and healthcare are just some of the sectors with a strong presence in the city and region. Many leading organisations have large bases here, including Airbus, the BBC and Lloyds Bank, and there is a thriving independent business culture, making the city a powerful draw for investors and entrepreneurs. Bristol’s economy is also one of the most resilient in the UK and the city has one of the lowest unemployment rates, all of which makes getting a good job here after your degree more likely.
A great place to be
If you’re looking for a busy social and cultural calendar, you won’t be disappointed. Bristol hosts a multitude of festivals and cultural activities. There’s a thriving music scene as well as an impressive number of independent shops, bars and places to eat.
With diverse areas and attractions to explore – from internationally renowned street art, to the vibrant harbourside, to Gloucester Road for great independent shopping, to Brunel’s famous Suspension Bridge in Clifton – there’s plenty to see and do city-wide. And the open spaces of Somerset, Devon, Cornwall and South Wales are within easy reach.
Bristol has a creative, green and fiercely independent mindset, so it’s not surprising the city is consistently named as one of the best places to live and work in the UK. Come and see for yourself – we’re confident you’ll like it here.
