With a student body of around 11,000 you will get the best of all worlds at Bolton. You will be based on a modern, compact campus where no-one feels anonymous and, with small teaching groups on many courses, you can be sure you are a name, not just a number. The University of Bolton is a modern university with a distinguished history and has a long and proud heritage that goes back to 1825. Through the years, our institution has evolved, always allowing for the special emphasis on theory and practice that was developed in the 19th century, enhanced in the 20th century, and still sits firmly at the heart of our unique university today.
Over the years the university has faced a number of changes and challenges, but has never lost focus of the university moto ‘Sapientia Superat Moras’ (Wisdom overcomes difficulty). The 21st century has seen major developments to the university’s programmes, with the development of courses in niche market areas, as well as collaborations with many industries to help improve our student’s chance of employability.
The University of Bolton is a Teaching Intensive, Research Informed Higher Education Institution whose distinctive high quality, student-focused, undergraduate and postgraduate programmes attract applications from all over the world. It will offer an exciting and challenging student experience with high levels of proactive student support and with excellent facilities which match the quality of its academic provision.
It will be a local resource, a regional asset and a national and international centre of excellence as well as a byword for exemplary vocationally focused undergraduate and postgraduate programmes delivered in Bolton and across the world. Where appropriate, our students will study in an environment which reflects as closely as possible, the working environment which they are likely to enter, with industry standard equipment. All students will be offered work-based learning through placements, internships or ‘sandwich’ gap years.
We aim to provide a high-quality, teaching-environment that provides individualised support and unique opportunities to develop the skills and interests of each and every one of our students, offering a friendly and supportive atmosphere and small class sizes to enhance learning. We aim to provide a stimulating and positive learning environment to help you achieve your potential, and we offer excellent resources and specialist facilities for all subject areas. Our rapidly expanding campus has seen a multi-million-pound investment programme in new equipment and facilities.
We are a modern and dynamic university with an academic heritage dating back nearly 200 years and a long and proud history of delivering top-class, industry-relevant courses. We aim for teaching that inspires and motivates our students in a distinctive and distinguished learning environment. So that they have the integrity to contribute to and lead society in the 21st century, help shape the businesses and communities of tomorrow through sharing and the application of knowledge.
We celebrate excellence in others and willingly bring their good practice back into the university and into our partnerships. We strongly support individual researchers as well as research groups and create partnerships based on mutual respect and equality. We recognise and reward the university’s staff as its greatest asset and encourage career development from all our staff. Our Teaching Intensive, Research Informed approach means we offer distinctive, high-quality, student-focused programmes inspired by the world-leading research being conducted at the university and by our strong links to global industry.
Quality and depth of provision are displayed across all subjects and we take pride in our top facilities which help enhance our students learning experience. We are proud that all elements of society are fully represented and that we are a culturally diverse, inclusive learning community in which staff and students continue to learn from, and celebrate, individual differences.
We strive to nurture the qualities that students bring with them, putting heavy emphasis on developing the skills and the interests that students bring with them, as well as stimulating new knowledge and skills. We use assessment data to improve the teaching/ learning system, curriculum, instruction, learning resources, counselling and student services and show adaptability, rigour and flexibility in identifying and meeting the needs of individuals. Our number one mission is to be a distinctive “Teaching Intensive and Research Informed” university that puts student experience and education first, supported by the quality of our staff, our facilities and our links to employment sectors.

Thank you once again for doing your part to keep Edarabia the most trusted education source.
poor institution which fought for years to get itself called a Uni (was Bolton Institute) but they lack good teaching and don't support students struggling with health issues - I have personal experience of their neglect in this respect - do not study at this place!

I have just completed the course on an Introduction to Coronial Law. The content of the course was most informative and the speakers excellent. The facilities in the University Law courts are first rate. I would highly recommend this course at this venue.

I did my HND in Business and Finance in 1989 and then did a top of degree in Business Administration. My experience and what I achieved enabled me to move to London where I had a successful career in Accountancy in the public sector. I am now running my own business for the past ten years. Bolton is a very good place to learn, cost of living is cheap and the tutors are fantastic.

World class facilities for sport science and teacher training. Lecturers go above and beyond for their students with a promising open door policy. A very respectable University that allows you to progress and move forward academically (PhD) and professionally.
