The University of Bristol is a public research university in Bristol, England. It received its royal charter in 1909,[8] although it can trace its roots to a Merchant Venturers' school founded in 1595 and University College, Bristol, which had been in existence since 1876.[9] Bristol Medical School, founded in 1833, was merged with the University College in 1893, and later became the university's school of medicine.[10]

The university is organised into six academic faculties composed of multiple schools and departments running over 200 undergraduate courses, largely in the Tyndalls Park area of the city.[11] It had a total income of £1.06 billion in 2023–24, of which £294.1 million was from research grants and contracts, with an expenditure of £768.7 million.[2] It is the largest independent employer in Bristol.[12] Current academics include 23 fellows of the Academy of Medical Sciences, 13 fellows of the British Academy, 43 fellows of the Academy of Social Sciences,[13] 13 fellows of the Royal Academy of Engineering and 48 fellows of the Royal Society.[14] The University of Bristol's alumni and faculty include 13 Nobel laureates.[15]

Bristol is a member of the Russell Group of research-intensive British universities,[16] the European-wide Coimbra Group[17] and the Worldwide Universities Network, of which the university's previous vice-chancellor, Eric Thomas, was chairman from 2005 to 2007.[18] In addition, the university holds an Erasmus Charter, sending more than 500 students per year to partner institutions in Europe.[19] It has an average of 6.4 (Sciences faculty) to 13.1 (Medicine & Dentistry Faculty) applicants for each undergraduate place.[20]
