About University of Winchester

The University of Winchester is a small, values-led modern university in the cathedral city of Winchester, Hampshire, in the South East of England. Its origins lie in an Anglican teacher training college founded in 1840, and it received university title in 2004. The city-centre campus is compact and has a welcoming, community-oriented character.

Winchester has notable strengths in education and teacher training, archaeology, creative writing, theology, business, criminology, and sport. The university is known for its emphasis on ethical leadership and sustainability across its programmes. Winchester itself is one of England's most historic cities, and the university's location provides a high quality of life alongside a well-supported and relatively small academic community.
