As “the university for sustainability and social justice,” the University of Winchester, established in 1840 by the Church of England, is a values-driven institution dedicated to teaching and research excellence.
Located in the cathedral city of Winchester, Hampshire, 60 miles southwest of London, you’ll find yourself in a quaint, historic location with a decidedly modern campus vibe in top-notch facilities.
Nearly 7% of Winchester’s more than 7,000 students are international, and the university remains committed to each student growing as an individual and situating themselves within the broader framework of social justice and sustainability, valuing all life on the planet and the principles of academic freedom. Popular courses include Animal Welfare, Creative Writing, Law, and Sports Psychology.
Special Academic Opportunity: Value Studies modules, interdisciplinary, team-taught courses where students collaboratively consider fundamental ethical, political, artistic, religious, and educational questions.

I loved the uni of Winchester. The whole campus and the people are wonderful. Everyone is so warm and welcoming wanting you to have the best experience. The town of Winchester is a short 10 min walk from campus with everything you can need. Also a close walk to the train station if you need to go farther. Only an hour train ride to London if you want to see the city. Overall I had the best time ever and loved every minute of it.
I truly loved my time studying at the University of Winchester! I know it might seem more exciting to go to London or Oxford or one of the bigger, more touristy cities, but if you looking for a traditional English town experience, Winchester is the place to be. Every time I walked into town to get groceries or pop out for a drink, I felt like I was walking through a scene in a Jane Austen movie. This might have also been because Jane Austen did, in fact, live in Winchester at one point! I also was very grateful that I went through Arcadia! Every step of my journey from before I left the U.S. to even after I got back they were great! They communicated well and often and always responded to emails in a timely matter. My Advisor was also a huge help in settling me in and checking in on me throughout the semester and I still email her now after the completion of my program. I highly recommend Arcadia!
