International

We welcome students from around the world, who help enrich the RAU community, contributing to the global perspective that underpins our entire learning environment.

Accommodation

Find your home from home, either on campus or as part of the wider community of Cirencester. Whatever your budget and your preferences, we’ll help you fit in.

Whether you’re into rock climbing, skiing, or singing, or simply wish to meet like-minded students or budding entrepreneurs, you’ll find what you’re looking for – and more – within the RAU’s network of student societies.

Support

Your happiness and wellbeing is as important to us as your academic progress. Throughout your time here, you can benefit from the support we provide, covering everything from healthcare and counselling to faith-based activities and careers advice.
