The University of Bristol (abbreviated as Bris. in post-nominal letters,

sometimes referred to as Bristol University) is a red brick research
university located in Bristol, United Kingdom.[8] It received its royal charter in
1909,[9] and its predecessor institution, University College, Bristol, had been in
existence since 1876.[10]
Bristol is organised into six academic faculties composed of multiple schools
and departments running over 200 undergraduate courses situated in the
Clifton area along with three of its nine halls of residence.[11] The other six
halls are located in Stoke Bishop, an outer city suburb located 1.8 miles
away. The university had a total income of 530.9 million in 2014/15, of which
148.4 million was from research grants and contracts.[2] It is the largest
independent employer in Bristol.[12]
The University of Bristol is ranked 11th in the UK for its research, according to
the Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2014 by GPA.[13] The University of
Bristol is ranked 37th by the QS World University Rankings 2015-16, and is
ranked amongst the top of UK universities by QS,[14] THE,[15] and ARWU. A
highly selective institution, it has an average of 6.4 (Sciences faculty) to 13.1
(Medicine & Dentistry Faculty) applicants for each undergraduate place.[16]
The University of Bristol is the youngest British university to be ranked among

the top 40 institutions in the world according to the QS World University

Rankings, and has also been ranked at 15th in the world in terms of
reputation with employers, placing higher than several American Ivy League
universities, including Princeton University, Cornell and UPenn.[17]
Current academics include 21 fellows of the Academy of Medical Sciences,
13 fellows of the British Academy, 13 fellows of the Royal Academy of
Engineering and 44 fellows of the Royal Society.[18] The university has been
associated with 12 Nobel laureates throughout its history, including Paul
Dirac, Sir William Ramsay, Cecil Frank Powell, Sir Winston Churchill, Dorothy
Hodgkin, Hans Albrecht Bethe, Max Delbrck, Gerhard Herzberg, Sir Nevill
Francis Mott, Harold Pinter, Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clzio and most recently,
2015 Economics Nobel Prize winner Angus Deaton.
Bristol is a member of the Russell Group of research-intensive British
universities,[19] the European-wide Coimbra Group[20] and the Worldwide
Universities Network, of which the university's previous vice-chancellor, Eric
Thomas, was chairman from 2005 to 2007.[21] In addition, the university holds
an Erasmus Charter, sending more than 500 students per year to partner
institutions in Europe.[22]

History[edit]

Foundation[edit]
The earliest antecedent of the university was the engineering department of
the Merchant Venturers' Technical College (founded as a school as early as
1595) which became the engineering faculty of Bristol University.[23] The
university was also preceded by Bristol Medical School (1833) and University
College, Bristol, founded in 1876,[10] where its first lecture was attended by
only 99 students.[24] The university was able to apply for a royal charter due to

the financial support of the Wills and Fry families, who made their fortunes in
tobacco plantations and chocolate, respectively. The Wills Family made a
vast fortune from the tobacco industry and gave generously to the city and
university. The royal charter was gained in May 1909, with 288
undergraduates and 400 other students entering the university in October
1909. Henry Overton Wills III became its first chancellor.[10] The University
College was the first such institution in the country to admit women on the
same basis as men.[10] However, women were forbidden to take examinations
in medicine until 1906.[25]

Historical development[edit]
Main article: History of the University of Bristol
There shall be from henceforth for ever in Our said City of Bristol a University...
King Edward VII, Charter of Incorporation of the University of Bristol, 4 December 1909[26]

Since the founding of the university itself in 1909, it has grown considerably
and is now one of the largest employers in the local area, although it is
smaller by student numbers than the nearby University of the West of
England.[27] Bristol does not have a campus but is spread over a considerable
geographic area. Most of its activities, however, are concentrated in the area
of the city centre, referred to as the "University Precinct". It is a member of
the Russell Group of research-led UK universities, the Coimbra Group of
leading European universities and the Worldwide Universities Network
(WUN).
Early years[edit]

The Wills Memorial Building (Schools of Law and Earth Sciences) on Park Street, Bristol.
The tower was cleaned in 20062007.[28]

After the founding of the University College in 1876, Government support

began in 1889. After mergers with the Bristol Medical School in 1893 and the
Merchant Venturers' Technical College in 1909,[29] this funding allowed the
opening of a new medical school and an engineering schooltwo subjects
that remain among the university's greatest strengths. In 1908, gifts from the
Fry and Wills families, particularly 100,000 from Henry Overton Wills III (6m
in today's money), were provided to endow a University for Bristol and the
West of England, provided that a royal charter could be obtained within two
years. In December 1909, the King granted such a charter and erected the
University of Bristol.[26] Henry Wills became its first chancellor and Conwy
Lloyd Morgan the first vice-chancellor.[30] Wills died in 1911 and in tribute his
sons George and Harry built the Wills Memorial Building, starting in 1913 and
finally finishing in 1925.[31] Today, it houses parts of the academic provision for
earth sciences and law, and graduation ceremonies are held in its Great Hall.
The Wills Memorial Building is a Grade II* listed building.[32]
In 1920, George Wills bought the Victoria Rooms and endowed them to the
university as a Students' Union.[10] The building now houses the Department
of Music and is a Grade II* listed building.[33]

Evacuated King's College London students at the University of Bristol in 1940

At the point of foundation, the university was required to provide for the local
community. This mission was behind the creation of the Department of ExtraMural Adult Education in 1924 to provide courses to the local community. This
mission continues today; a new admissions policy specifically caters to the
'BS' postcode area of Bristol.[34]
Among the famous names associated with Bristol in this early period is Paul
Dirac, who graduated in 1921 with a degree in engineering, before obtaining
a second degree in mathematics in 1923 from Cambridge. For his
subsequent pioneering work on quantum mechanics, he was awarded the
1933 Nobel Prize for Physics.[35] Later in the 1920s, the H.H. Wills Physics
Laboratory was opened by Ernest Rutherford.[36] It has since housed several
Nobel Prize winners: Cecil Frank Powell (1950);[37] Hans Albrecht Bethe

(1967);[38] and Sir Nevill Francis Mott (1977).[39] The Laboratory stands on the
same site today, close to the Bristol Grammar School and the city museum.
Sir Winston Churchill became the university's third chancellor in 1929, serving
the university in that capacity until 1965.[10] He succeeded Richard Haldane
who had held the office from 1912 following the death of Henry Wills.[25][30]
During World War II, the Wills Memorial was bombed, destroying the Great
Hall and the organ it housed,[10] along with 7,000 books removed from King's
College London for safe keeping. It has since been restored to its former
glory, complete with oak panelled walls and a new organ.
Post-war development[edit]
In 1946, the university established the first drama department in the country.
[10] In the same year, Bristol began offering special entrance exams and grants
to aid the resettlement of servicemen returning home. Student numbers
continued to increase, and the Faculty of Engineering eventually needed the
new premises that were to become Queen's Building in 1955. This substantial
building housed all of the university's engineers until 1996, when the
department of Electrical Engineering and Department of Computer Science
moved over the road into the new Merchant Venturers' Building to make
space for these rapidly expanding fields. Today, Queen's Building caters for
most of the teaching needs of the Faculty and provides academic space for
the "heavy" engineering subjects (civil, mechanical, and aeronautical).
With unprecedented growth in the 1960s, particularly in undergraduate
numbers, the Student's Union eventually acquired larger premises in a new
building in the Clifton area of the city, in 1965. This building was more
spacious than the Victoria Rooms, which were now given over to the
Department of Music. The new Union provides many practice and
performance rooms, some specialist rooms, as well as three bars: Bar 100;
the Mandela (also known as AR2) and the Avon Gorge. Whilst spacious, the
Union building is thought by many to be ugly[40] and out of character compared
to the architecture of the rest of the Clifton area, having been mentioned in a
BBC poll to find the worst architectural eyesores in Britain.[41] The university
has proposed relocating the Union to a more central location as part of its
development 'masterplan'.[42] More recently, plans for redevelopment of the
current building have been proposed.[43]
The 1960s were a time of considerable student activism in the United
Kingdom, and Bristol was no exception. In 1968, many students marched in
support of the Anderson Report, which called for higher student grants. This
discontent culminated in an 11-day sit-in at the Senate House (the
administrative headquarters of the university).[10] A series of chancellors and
vice-chancellors led the university through these decades, with Henry
Somerset, 10th Duke of Beaufort taking over from Churchill as chancellor in

1965 before being succeeded by Dorothy Hodgkin in 1970 who spent the
next 18 years in the office.[30]
As the age of mass higher education dawned, Bristol continued to build its
student numbers. The various undergraduate residences were repeatedly
expanded and, more recently, some postgraduate residences have been
constructed. These more recent ventures have been funded (and are run) by
external companies in agreement with the university.
Since 1988, there have been only two further chancellors; Sir Jeremy Morse,
then chairman of Lloyds Bank who handed over in 2003 to Brenda Hale, the
first female Law Lord.[25][30]

The Victoria Rooms, comprising the School of Music

One of the few Centres for Deaf Studies in the United Kingdom was
established in Bristol in 1981, followed in 1988 by the Norah Fry Centre for
research into learning difficulties. Also in 1988, and again in 2004,[44] the
Students' Union AGM voted to disaffiliate from the National Union of Students
(NUS). On both occasions, however, the subsequent referendum of all
students reversed that decision and Bristol remains affiliated to the NUS.
In 2002, the university was involved in argument over press intrusion after
details of the son of then-prime minister, Tony Blair's, application to university
were published in national newspapers.
As the number of postgraduate students has grown (particularly the numbers
pursuing taught master's degrees), there eventually became a need for
separate representation on university bodies and the Postgraduate Union
(PGU) was established in 2000.[45] Universities are increasingly expected to
exploit the intellectual property generated by their research activities and, in
2000, Bristol established the Research and Enterprise Division (RED) to
further this cause (particularly for technology-based businesses). In 2001, the
university signed a 25-year research funding deal with IP2IPO, an intellectual
property commercialisation company.[46] In 2007, research activities were
expanded further with the opening of the Advanced Composites Centre for
Innovation and Science (ACCIS) and The Bristol Institute for Public Affairs
(BIPA).

In 2002, the university opened the new Centre for Sports, Exercise and
Health in the heart of the university precinct.[47] At a cost, local residents are
also able to use the facilities.[48]

Most of the buildings here are used by the university. The Wills Memorial Building is left of
centre. Viewed from the Cabot Tower on Brandon Hill

Expansion of teaching and research activities continues. In 2004, the Faculty

of Engineering completed work on the Bristol Laboratory for Advanced
Dynamics Engineering (BLADE). This 18.5m project[49] provides cutting-edge
technology to further the study of dynamics and is the most advanced such
facility in Europe. It was built as an extension to the Queen's Building and
was officially opened by Queen Elizabeth II in March 2005.
In January 2005, the School of Chemistry was awarded 4.5m by the Higher
Education Funding Council for England to create Bristol ChemLabS: a Centre
for Excellence in Teaching & Learning (CETL),[50] with an additional 350k
announced for the capital part of the project in February 2006. Bristol
ChemLabS stands for Bristol Chemical Laboratory Sciences; it is the only
chemistry CETL in the UK.
September 2009 saw the opening of the university's Centre for Nanoscience
and Quantum Information. This 11 million state of the art building is dubbed
as the quietest building in the world and has other technologically
sophisticated features such as self-cleaning glass. Advanced research into
quantum computing, nanotechnology, materials and other disciplines are
being undertaken in the building.[51]
There is also a plan to significantly redevelop the centre of the University
Precinct in the coming years.[52] The first step began in September 2011, with
the start of construction of a state-of-the-art Life Sciences building. In a time
of heavy financial pressures on all Universities, this 50 million project is a
clear statement that Bristol is committed to world class research and teaching
facilities.[53]
2003 admissions controversy[edit]
Main article: University of Bristol admissions controversy
The university has been regarded as being elitist by some commentators,[54]
taking 41% of its undergraduate students from non-state schools, according
to the most recent 2009/2010 figures, despite the fact that such pupils make

up just 7% of the population[55] and 18% of 16+ year old pupils across the UK.
[56] The intake of state school pupils at Bristol is lower than many Oxbridge
colleges.[57] The high ratio of undergraduates from non-state school has led to
some tension at the university.[58] In late February and early March 2003,
Bristol became embroiled in a row about admissions policies, with some
private schools threatening a boycott[59] based on their claims that, in an effort
to improve equality of access, the university was discriminating against their
students. These claims were hotly denied by the university.[60] In August 2005,
following a large-scale survey, the Independent Schools Council publicly
acknowledged that there was no evidence of bias against applicants from the
schools it represented.[61] The university has a new admissions policy,[34] which
lays out in considerable detail the basis on which any greater or lesser weight
may be given to particular parts of an applicant's backgrounds in particular,
what account may be taken of which school the applicant hails from. This new
policy also encourages greater participation from locally resident applicants.

Campus[edit]

The Great Hall of the Wills Memorial Building, here used for an award ceremony for the
Queen Elizabeth's Hospital

Some of the University of Bristol's buildings date to its pre-charter days when
it was University College Bristol. These buildings were designed by Charles
Hansom, the younger brother of Joseph Hansom, Joseph being the inventor
of the Hansom Cab. These buildings suffered being built in stages due to
financial pressure. George Oatley added to them a tower in memory of Albert
Fry which can still be seen on University Road. The first large scale building
project the University of Bristol undertook on gaining a charter was the Wills
Memorial Building which it was hoped would be a symbol of academic
permanence for the university and a memorial to the chief benefactor of the
university, Henry Overton Wills. It was requested to the architect George
Oatley that the building be built to last at least 400 years but the site
purchased, at the top of Park Street suffered from an awkward slope and a
desirability to link the building with the Museum and Art Gallery situated
adjacent to the plot. The architecture critic Roger Gill has stated that the
building is "remarkable in size" but noted that the "ambience of a medieval

University was strangely lacking". He goes on to criticise the building as a

"sham" and a "folly".[62] The armorials on the Founder's Window represent all
of the interests present at the founding of the University of Bristol including
the Wills and Fry families. The Tyndalls Park Estate and Royal Fort House
were also purchased from the trustees of the Tyndall family allowing the
university to expand. Many Departments in the Faculty of Arts are housed in
large Victorian houses which have been converted for teaching.[63]
Goldney gardens entered the property of the University of Bristol through
George Wills who had hoped to build an all male hall of residence there. This
was prevented due to the moral objection of the then warden of Clifton Hall
House who objected to the idea of male and female residences being in such
close proximity. University records show that Miss Starvey was prepared to
resign over the issue and that she had the support of the then Chancellor
Conwy Lloyd Morgan.[64] Eventually land was purchased in Stoke Bishop
allowing Wills Hall to be bought, allowing the building of what has been
described as a "quasi-Oxbridge" hall, to which was added the Dame Monica
Wills Chapel added by George Wills' widow after his death.

The Gardens of Goldney Hall were acquired by the Wills family

Burwalls, a mansion house on the other side of the Avon Gorge, was used as
a halls of residence in the past and was a home of Sir George Oatley. The
building is now used to house the Centre for Continuing Education.[65]
Many of the more modern buildings, including Senate House and the newer
parts of the HH Wills Physics Laboratory, were designed by Raplh Brentnall
after funds from the University Grants Committee. He is also responsible for
the extension to the Wills Memorial Building library which was completed to
such standard that few now realise that is an extension to the original
building.[66] Brentnall oversaw the rebuilding of the Great Hall of the Wills
Memorial Building after it was partly destroyed during the Bristol Blitz of World
War II. The buildings of St Michael's Hill were rebuilt using hundreds of old
photographs to recreate the original houses. The flats at Goldney Hall were
designed by Michael Grice and received an award from the Civic Trust for
their design.[67] Bristol University owns some of the best examples of Georgian
architecture in the city, the best examples being Royal Fort House, Clifton Hill

House and Goldney Hall despite some additions.[68] The Victoria Rooms which
house the Music Department were designed by Charles Dyer and is seen as
a good example of a Greek revival movement in British architecture. The
tympanum of the building depicts a scene from The Advent of Morning
designed by Jabez Tyley.[69] Its major feature was a large organ which has
since been destroyed by fire.

League tables usually place Bristol within the top ten universities in the United
Kingdom and it attracts many academically gifted students. For example,
edition of 21 July 2011 of Times Higher Education reported that Bristol was
fifth in a UK league table for the highest proportion of students with A-level
grades AAB or better. Bristol was ranked 10th overall in the The Sunday
Times 10-year (19982007) average ranking of British universities based on
consistent league table performance,[78] and is a member of the 'Sutton 13' of
top ranked Universities in the UK.[79] Internationally, the 2012/2013 QS World
University Rankings[80] placed Bristol at 28th overall in the world. The rankings
also placed Bristol at 15th in the world in terms of reputation with employers,
placing higher than several American Ivy League universities, including
Princeton University, Cornell and UPenn. Bristol was chosen as the ninth best
university in the UK for the quality of graduates according to recruiters from
the UK's major companies.[81] Another international ranking, the Shanghai Jiao

Tong University Academic Ranking of World Universities, placed Bristol 64th

globally in 2013[82] The Times Higher Education World University Ranking
placed Bristol at 66th in 2011.[83] Competition for places is high with an
average 7.7 applications per place according to the 2014 Sunday Times
League Tables, making it the joint 11th most competitive university in the UK.
[84]

According to data published in The Sunday Times, Bristol has the sixthhighest percentage of "good honours" of any UK university.[85] In the 2010
Centre for Higher Education's Development's Excellence Rankings, Bristol is
one of only four UK universities (Oxford, UCL and Manchester) to be rated
Excellent in all seven departments.[86]

Geography department

The following courses offered by the University of Bristol managed to reach

top 5 in The 'Times ranking (2008): Computer Science (3rd); Electrical and
Electronic Engineering(3rd); Civil Engineering(5th); Biological Sciences(3rd);
Mathematics (3rd); and Psychology (4th). Furthermore, the QS World
University Rankings place Bristol in the world's top 100 universities for all
subject areas in 2011: Arts and Humanities (57th), Natural Sciences (40th),
Engineering & IT (83rd), Social Sciences (65th) and Life Sciences (70th).[87] A
further breakdown of the QS World University Natural Sciences Ranking
shows the following: Earth Sciences (25th),[88] Mathematics (35th),[89]
Environmental Sciences (39th),[90] Physics (41st),[91] and Chemistry (48th).[92]
In addition, Bristol is particularly strong in the field of social sciences,
particularly in economics, finance and management, and was rated fourth in
the 2008 Guardian University Guide for Business and Management Studies.
[93]

In 2011, The Guardian also ranked Bristol as third in the UK for geography,
just behind second place Oxford[94] and ranked Bristol as 1st in the UK for
Music.[95]

Royal Fort and the Physics department

In The Complete University Guide 2013, Bristol ranked fifth for German,[96]
fourth for Russian,[97] third for mechanical and civil engineering,[98] third for
music[99] and second for drama.[100]
Bristol is also known for its research strength, having 15 departments gaining
the top grade of 5* in the 2001 Research Assessment Exercise. Overall, 36
out of 46 departments rated gained the top two ratings of 5 or 5*, and 76% of
all the academic staff working in departments scored these top two levels.[101]
In terms of teaching strength, Bristol had an average Teaching Quality
Assessment score of 22.05/24 before the TQA was abolished.[102] For
admission in October 2010, Bristol reported an average of 10.2 applications
per place with the average A-level score on admission being 478.5.[103]
Bristol's drop-out rate is also lower than the benchmark set by HEFCE of no
more than 3.1%.[104]

Degrees[edit]
Bristol awards a range of academic degrees spanning bachelor's and
master's degrees as well as junior doctorates and higher doctorates. The
postnominals awarded are the degree abbreviations used commonly among
British universities. The university is part of the Engineering Doctorate
scheme,[106] and awards the Eng. D. in systems engineering, engineering
management, aerospace engineering and non-destructive evaluation.[107]
Bristol notably does not award by title any bachelor's degrees in music, which
is available for study but awarded B.A. (although it does award MMus and
DMus), nor any degree in divinity, since divinity is not available for study
(students of theology are awarded a B.A.). Similarly, the university does not
award BLitt (Bachelor of Letters), although it does award both MLitt and DLitt.
In regulations, the university does not name MD or DDS as higher doctorates,
although they are in many universities[108] as these degrees are normally
accredited professional doctorates.
The degrees of DLitt., DSc, DEng, LLD and DMus, whilst having regulations
specifying the grounds for award,[109] are most often conferred as honorary
degrees (in honoris causa).[110] Those used most commonly are the DLitt, DSc
and LLD, with the MA (and occasionally the MLitt) also sometimes conferred
honorarily for distinction in the local area or within the University.

Governance[edit]

Main article: Governance of the University of Bristol

In common with most UK universities, Bristol is headed formally by the
chancellor, currently Baroness Hale of Richmond, and led on a day-to-day
basis by the vice-chancellor, currently Hugh Brady, who is the academic
leader and chief executive. There are four pro vice-chancellors and three
ceremonial pro-chancellors.[111] The chancellor may hold office for up to ten
years and the pro-chancellors for up to three, unless the University Court
determines otherwise,[112][113] but the vice-chancellor and pro-vice-chancellors
have no term limits.[114][115] The vice-chancellor is supported by a deputy vicechancellor.
Responsibility for running the university is held at an executive level by the
vice-chancellor, but the council is the only body that can recommend changes
to the university's statutes and charter,[116] with the exception of academic

ordinances. These can only be made with the consent of the senate, the chief
academic body in the university which also holds responsibility for teaching
and learning, examinations and research and enterprise.[116][117] The chancellor
and pro chancellors are nominated by council and appointed formally by
court, whose additional powers are now limited to these appointments and a
few others, including some lay members of council.[118] Finally, Convocation,
the body of all staff, ceremonial officers and graduates of the university,
returns 100 members to court and one member to council,[111] but is otherwise
principally a forum for discussion and to ensure graduates stay in touch with
the university.

Student life[edit]

Students' union[edit]

University of Bristol Union building

Main article: University of Bristol Union

The University of Bristol Union (Bristol SU or BSU) located on Queen's Road
is a founding member of the National Union of Students and is amongst the
oldest students' unions in England. The union oversees the two media outlets
of the university, the Bristol University Radio Station (BURST) and the student
newspaper Epigram. In terms of student life, the union is responsible for the
organisation of the annual freshers' fair, the co-ordination of Bristol Student
Community Action, which organises volunteering projects in the local
community, and the organisation of entertainment events and very large
number[119] of student societies. Previous presidents have included Sue
Lawley and former Liberal Democrat MP Lembit pik. There is a separate
union for postgraduate students, as well as an athletic union, which is a
member of the British Universities & Colleges Sport.[120] In distinction to the
"blues" awarded for sporting excellence at Oxford and Cambridge, Bristol's
most successful athletes are awarded "reds".[121]

Halls of residence[edit]
Main article: Halls of residence at the University of Bristol

Wills Hall

Accommodation for students is primarily in the central precinct of the

university and two areas of Bristol: Clifton and Stoke Bishop.[122] In Stoke
Bishop, Wills Hall on the edge of the Clifton Downs was the first to be
opened, in 1929, by the then chancellor, Winston Churchill. Its original
quadrangle layout has been expanded twice, in 1962 and 1990.[122] Churchill
Hall, named for the chancellor, followed in 1956, then Badock Hall in 1964.[122]
[123] At the time of Badock Hall's establishment, some of the buildings were
called Hiatt Baker Hall, but two years later, Hiatt Baker moved to its own site
and is now the largest hall in the university.[122][124] The first self-catering hall in
Stoke Bishop was University Hall, established in 1971 with expansion in
1992.[122] The University's newest undergraduate residence, 33 Colston Street,
was opened in the city centre in October 2011 after acquiring the property in
2009.[122] The university established a partnership with Unite PLC in order
provide accommodation due to increase in number of students accepted for
entry for academic year 2012/2013. A20 million project of expanding
facilities of Hiatt Baker is to provide additional 327 places for undergraduate
students in 2014.[125] All of the main halls elect groups of students to the Junior
Common Room to organise the halls social calendar for the next year.
Residents of student houses, private accommodation and students living at
home become members of Orbital a society organising social events for
students throughout the year.[122]

Goldney Hall

In Clifton, Goldney Hall was built first in the early 18th century by the wealthy
merchant Goldney family and eventually became part of the university in
1956.[126] It is a popular location for filming, with The Chronicles of Narnia, The
House of Eliott and Truly, Madly, Deeply, as well as episodes of Only Fools
and Horses and Casualty, being filmed there.[127] The Grotto in the grounds is
a Grade I listed building.[128] Clifton Hill House is another Grade I listed
building now used as student accommodation in Clifton. The original building
was constructed between 1745 and 1750 by Isaac Ware, and has been used
by the university since its earliest days in 1909.[122][129] Manor Hall comprises
five separate buildings, the principal of which was erected from 19271932 to
the design of George Oatley following a donation from Henry Herbert Wills.

Clifton Hill House

One of its annexes, Manor House, has recently been refurbished and officially
'reopened' in 1999.[122][130] Goldney Hall has beautiful gardens and modern
accommodation complexes. Clifton Hill House has more dated facilities, but
as with all the Clifton residences also possesses attractive gardens. Manor
Hall houses the largest and most dated rooms, some dating back to the early
20th century.
On the central precinct sits The Hawthorns, a student house accommodating
115 undergraduate students.[131] The house started life as a collection of villas

built somewhere between 1888 and 1924[132] that were later converted, bit by
bit, into a hotel by John Dingle.[133] The Hawthorns also houses conferencing
facilities, the staff refectory and bar, the Accommodation Office and the
Student Houses Office. Several of the residences in the central precinct are
more recent and have been built and are managed by third-party
organisations under exclusivity arrangements with the University. These
include Unite House and Chantry Court, opened in 2000 and 2003
respectively by the UNITE Group,[134][135][136] as well as Dean's Court (2001,
postgraduates only) and Woodland Court (2005), both run by the Dominion
Housing Group.[137][138]

Symbols[edit]

Master's hood at the University of Bristol

University coat of arms

In common with other universities in the United Kingdom, Bristol uses its
particular pattern of academic dress as well its logo and coat of arms to
represent itself.

Academic dress[edit]
Main article: Academic dress of the University of Bristol
The university specifies a mix of Cambridge and Oxford academic dress. For
the most part, it uses Oxford-style gowns and Cambridge-style hoods, which
are required to be "university red"[139] (see the logo at the top of the page)

Logo and arms[edit]

In 2004, the university unveiled its new logo. The icons in the logo are the sun
for the Wills family, the dolphin for Colston, the horse for Fry and the shipand-castle from the mediaeval seal of the City of Bristol, as also used in the
coat of arms. The shape of the whole logo represents the open book of
learning.[7] This logo has replaced the university arms shown, but the arms
continue to be used where there is a specific historical or ceremonial
requirement. The arms comprise:
argent on a cross quadrate gules the arms of the City of Bristol between in
pale and a sun in splendour (for Wills) and an open book proper, leaved and
clasped or, and inscribed with the words Nisi quia Dominus, and in fesse to
the sinister a dolphin embowed (for Colston), and to the dexter a horse
courant (for Fry), both of the third.
The inscription on the book is the Latin opening of the 124th Psalm, "If the
Lord Himself had not (been on our side...)".[1]
