When applying to the University of Chester, you will need to start planning well in advance of the proposed start date for your chosen programme of study.
For undergraduate study, this will mean at least a year, and for postgraduate study, at least six months - but preferably a year. Applications can be made through UCAS (undergarduate only) or directly to the university or through a University of Chester representative in your country of residence.

For undergraduate and postgraduate study, we will need:

  • a completed application form, including references and a personal statement
  • any relevant academic transcripts
  • evidence of an English language qualification, or an indication of English language study being currently undertaken
  • proof of sponsorship, if applicable

Please check that your qualifications meet the entry requirments for the programme that you are applying for. (link to entry requirements)
