Why Choose Chester

Established in 1839, the University of Chester is one of the oldest higher education institutions in the country, and we offer a warm welcome to applicants from all parts of the world.
Whilst studying at the University of Chester I was able to get involved in the whole student experience and loved every minute of it. I never once felt like a number and really enjoyed experiencing all the opportunities the University of Chester had to offer.
