ECEL 2006: Venue and other Useful Information
University of Winchester, UK

Information


"In terms of title we may be one of the newest universities, but in terms of character and culture we are one of the oldest."

By the standards of today’s universities, the University of Winchester is small, with some 3000 full-time and 2500 part-time students. Most are following undergraduate courses, though they have a significant and growing number of students on Masters and Doctoral level courses. The culture of the University is informal and the emphasis is on providing a supportive community within which individuals can develop themselves and find a clear sense of direction. They aim to produce graduates who will make a difference in and through their chosen careers.

By the standards of most universities they are also very old – established in 1840 and on the same ‘King Alfred’ campus in Winchester since 1862. This history fosters a strong sense of identity and continuity which bridges changes of name – they changed from King Alfred’s College to University College Winchester in 2004 and adopted the title ‘University of Winchester’ in June 2005.

The original Anglican foundation established a strong commitment to public service and the public good which still persists today. Teaching is their main focus, and their graduates are their main contribution to society.

Conference Dinner. The conference dinner will be held in the King Charles Suite at the Winchester Guildhall. Winchester Guildhall  Additional guest dinners can be booked on the registration page.
