Integrated Wildlife Conservation Studies in English

The University of the West of England has its roots in a number of colleges, which reflect a lively local tradition of vocational education dating back as far as 1595. The UWE Coat of Arms was designed to represent, and to celebrate, that many-stranded past.

UWE crest

The crest on top reflects the city of Bristol's long connection with the sea. With its ship's mainmast and rigging, it represents the Merchant Venturers' Navigation School. The flaming firebasket, or cresset, perched on the rigging, denotes guidance, hope and the desire for learning.

UWE shield

The shield in the centre is an adaptation of that of the College of St Matthias. The wavy line down the middle of the shield represents the Rivers Avon and Severn.

Unicorn and sea stag

The unicorn is taken from the arms of the City of Bristol and the sea stag from those of the former County of Avon. Both these 'supporters' have round their necks a crown of King Edgar, regarded as a local monarch because of his coronation in Bath Abbey. The circles with wavy lines on the shoulders of the supporters represent the fountain of knowledge and learning.

The unicorn and sea stag each support a standard apple tree - the tree of knowledge - taken from the coat of arms of the Council for National Academic Awards which accredited degrees awarded to students of Bristol Polytechnic.

UWE motto

The motto Light, Liberty, Learning is a quotation from Disraeli and corresponds to the symbolism of the Coat of Arms. The firebasket is the light, the Avon and Bristol supporters symbolise liberty, and the trees of knowledge represent learning.
