We are a thriving university with a deep commitment to teaching and research excellence. Established in 1840 by the Church of England, everything we do is underpinned by an unrelenting commitment to our values. As a university, we have always been – and will always be – led and driven by our values. As the world around us changes, we have accepted the challenge to change with it and move forward with confidence. Our strong leadership and governance has been recognised by the 2017 Times Higher Leadership and Management Awards and the 2017 British Quality Foundation Excellence Award for excellence in all areas of governance and operation. Winchester offers a safe and supportive global community for international students. We welcome applications from international students and accept a range of international qualifications to all of our courses. In addition to this our International Student Support Services provide advice and guidance for non-academic related queries, support to study abroad and opportunities to improve academic skills through our English Language Teaching and Support Unit (ELTSU).Winchester is based in the South East of England and was once the ancient capital of England and former seat of King Alfred the Great. Winchester is a quintessential English city with a rich heritage and vibrant contemporary culture. This friendly and highly walkable city of about 50,000 people has an easy-going vibe, fabulous local food, a lively music scene and a wonderful street performance festival – The Hat Fair – to rival Edinburgh.
