Cirencester

Cirencester

Cirencester is a historic Roman town in the county of Gloucestershire.

This beautiful, ancient town has the most traditional English architecture.

Royal Agricultural College

The Royal Agricultural College is the location of our Cirencester summer school.

It is located in one of the most beautiful settings in the country, just 2km outside of Cirencester.

The main building is famous, not just for its beautiful, but also because it is styled like an Oxford college.

Facilities include three computer rooms, new lecture theatres and a grand dining hall.

The small campus encourages a strong sense of community among the students and staff.

The rural location makes it an ideal location for groups of younger students.

Food at the centre has also earned a good reputation among students, group leaders and staff alike – which is remarkable for English cuisine!

Cirencester has been running for 18 years, and is one of the most requested colleges.
