Student life

Join the RAU and you will be welcomed into a thriving centre of excellence, where the expertise you develop and the connections you build will serve you for a lifetime.

Set in 25 acres of Cotswold countryside, with 491 hectares of nearby farmland, ours is a close-knit community of students and staff, all dedicated to making a difference. The video above shows the circus themed Students Union Sumer Ball and was filmed by undergraduate Oliver Pritchard.
