ADA.

Named after the first computer programmer, Ada Lovelace, the ADA facility is kitted out with the latest hardware and software, housed in an impressively-designed, modern building. Hosting everything from level 2 courses right up to level 6 degree courses, ADA will be a bustling hub for cyber and IT students from a wide variety of backgrounds and with a multitude of different passions and interests.

Digital Environment.

Cheltenham is fast becoming one of the UK’s leading cyber-tech cities. With ADA’s opportune location, next to GCHQ and the UK’s first ever cyber park (currently in development), students will be perfectly placed to upgrade their IT and cyber skills in a cutting-edge digital environment featuring agile work spaces with design focused on fostering collaboration and creativity.
