History

The university's campus is located at Europa Point on Gibraltar's rock.

a moorish cistern, today known as the nun's well, is thought to exist in the vicinity, however it may predate tarik's arrival in 711 ad. The Neanderthals were the first known residents of the area, and the neighbouring gorham's cave complex they occupied is a unesco world heritage site. Gibraltar is one of hercules' pillars, standing astride the point where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Mediterranean sea in legend. The Europa Point Lighthouse, which overlooks the Strait of Gibraltar and has symbolic significance for the university, is another significant landmark of the site. Trinity House operates the lighthouse that is the furthest south. When it was automated in 2016, the university received the 1950s second-order optic Fresnel Lens, which is now on exhibit in the main concourse.

Europa Point offers spectacular views of the Gibraltar Straits and the African continent. Beaches and a full sports facility are just a short walk away, and daily buses connect you to the town centre.

Location

Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory that is frequently referred to as "Britain in the Sun." This means that you may anticipate the same high standards and ideals as a British university education while studying in a warm, Mediterranean climate with up to 300 days of sunshine per year.

Gibraltar's modest size (6.7 square kilometres) is part of what makes it so special. When you're not studying, you'll have more time to explore, travel, and have fun because everything is walkable, bikeable, or a short bus ride away. You will have the freedom to join groups, societies, or simply enjoy Gibraltar's vibrant leisure and dining scene.

You can work part-time while studying in Gibraltar if you have a student visa. You should be able to work up to 20 hours per week during term time and 40 hours per week during vacation, depending on your visa. Non-EU international students can stay in Gibraltar for another two years after finishing their degree programme to work full-time in a local firm.
