Highlights
The University of Bolton dates back to the 19th Century Bolton Mechanics Institute and throughout the 20th Century it had various names. In 1982 it became the Bolton Institute of Higher Education, before finally gaining university status in 2004, making it one of the newer universities in the UK.
It's made big strides since then and was named best in the North West for overall teaching quality and student satisfaction in The Sunday Times Good University Guide 2022. It has also been ranked in the top five universities for student satisfaction in the Guardian as well as top 50 overall.
The University of Bolton's student services team offers financial, accommodation, disability and visa and immigration support to students.
As a relatively small university, Bolton can offer some of the lowest staff-to-student teaching ratios in the country, meaning that students can receive more support and teaching that is more tailored to their abilities and experience.
Campuses
Bolton has one of the most ethnically diverse student populations in the UK with around 120 nationalities on campus. It's also one of the most competitive when it comes to international student fees with the majority of them being around £12,450 for both undergraduate and postgraduate degrees.
