World class campuses
Spaces for learning, research and civic engagement at Temple Quarter Enterprise Campus and the new University Library in the heart of Clifton campus.
Temple Quarter Enterprise Campus
Bristol’s new campus, located next to Temple Meads train station, is the University’s biggest ever capital investment. When it opens in 2023, it will provide critical high-quality spaces for teaching, research and innovation, student accommodation and community engagement.
The campus will bring together world-class digital scientists, engineers and social scientists. Students, businesses, government and local community groups will be the University's partners, helping to shape education and outreach programmes.
