Is there a university in Gibraltar?
Short answer
Yes, the University of Gibraltar, established in 2015.
Detailed answer
The University of Gibraltar was established in 2015 as Gibraltar’s first higher education institution. It offers undergraduate and postgraduate degrees, professional courses, and research opportunities across areas such as business, law, education, marine science, and health. The campus is located at Europa Point, in historic military buildings overlooking the Strait of Gibraltar. The University is small compared to most UK or European institutions, which allows for smaller class sizes and closer interaction with faculty. Courses are delivered in English and follow UK academic standards, with many degrees validated or benchmarked against UK frameworks. In addition to academic programmes, the University collaborates closely with Gibraltar’s industries and government, providing applied research and professional training. While it is still developing in scale and range of programmes, the University of Gibraltar has established itself as a modern, internationally focused institution with strong regional ties. It attracts both local students and international students interested in studying in a unique location at the crossroads of Europe and Africa.
