Welcome

WELCOME TO THE UNIVERSITY OF CHESTER

In a world that’s constantly changing, now more than ever is the time to ask: what matters to you? What matters to this University is making a difference; a difference to our students’ lives, and the difference they make when they’re out in the world.

It all starts with giving our students what counts – connections, opportunities and an education focused on the future. Because we’ve been around for a while, starting 180 years ago as a teaching college, these are the things we know we’re good at.

We also believe in showing students the power of their voice, so we listen to them and implement their ideas. In fact, the first difference you make could be right here. We want to empower our students because it’s our responsibility to shape the world to be inclusive, fair and sustainable, and that can’t be done with silence and inaction. It comes down to us and in this moment with your whole future ahead, it comes down to you.

So, think about the difference you could make. The world needs positive change and if that’s something you want to be a part of, we’re here to help you get the knowledge, networks and confidence to make it happen.

A Joyful Place

“My experience at Chester has been exciting because I got to meet a lot of people who are interested in my culture. Everyone is really open to knowing more about everyone from all around the place. They’re excited to talk to you about your food, your culture; they’re excited to try it out as well.

To me, Chester is peaceful, exciting and joyful.”
