Food lover’s Bristol Crowned the ‘Best Culinary Destination’* and ‘World Vegan Capital’**, foodies will be wowed by Bristol’s food scene. “I like to take a walk along the river, stop for a burger from 3 Brothers Burgers, and then in true west-country style pop into The Apple for a cider!”
Ilaria, BA(Hons) Criminology and Sociology Sources: *World Food Travel Association: Food Trekking Award 2019 and **Chef’s Pencil in 2020 for third consecutive year.

Music lover’s Bristol “Bristol has such a dynamic music scene, with unique venues hidden all around the city. My favourite was going to a floating concert on Thekla, an old boat moored in the harbourside.”
Daisy, BSc(Hons) Forensic Science
Bristol’s green spaces “There are plenty of parks in Bristol. I really like the Clifton Suspension Bridge and its surrounding green areas. Also, Ashton Court and Leigh Woods make for a lovely afternoon walk.”
Eden, BSc(Hons) Architecture

I did my placement year at Bristol Zoo Gardens as an invertebrate keeper, which helped me discover my passion for science communications. I want to make people aware how important invertebrates are to our survival, plus how awesome they are. This led me to study my Master’s in Science Communication at UWE Bristol.”

Get involved in your university community At UWE Bristol, we know that your university experience is about more than getting a good degree. It’s the perfect time to try new things and make new friends too. So, get involved. With over 160 clubs and societies and plenty of volunteering opportunities, there’s so much to choose from.
I got involved in the reading buddy volunteering programme at Glenfrome primary school to help Year 6 pupils improve their reading skills. Like me, many come from families who don't speak English at home, so it's hard to get this help at home. It was rewarding to see them develop and knowing they would benefit. It helped me too as this work experience looks great on my CV.”
