Tucked away along Kennel Lodge Road in the Bower Ashton suburb of Bristol, UWE Bower Ashton Campus is one of the University of the West of England’s key sites. Sitting within the postcode district BS3 2JT, the campus occupies a distinctive corner of south-west Bristol, not far from the green expanses that characterise this quieter part of the city. Visitors and students arriving by road will find it straightforward to locate, and the site is well connected to Bristol’s wider transport network, making it accessible from the city centre and surrounding neighbourhoods.
About the Campus
The campus operates under the umbrella of UWE Bristol, a university with a strong presence across the city. Bower Ashton Campus has a particular focus on creative arts and media disciplines, and the site reflects that character in its facilities and atmosphere. Unlike the larger main campus at Frenchay, Bower Ashton has a more intimate scale, which many students and staff find suits the practical, studio-based nature of creative study. The campus opens daily from 07:30 through to midnight, giving students generous access hours throughout the week and at weekends.
