Easy Transfer Scheme

The new academic year is now underway, and for many students those first few weeks are a chance to settle in and get a feel for university life. If your current university experience isn’t what you hoped for, it’s not too late to explore a change.

With our Easy Transfer Scheme, we’re ready when you are. If you’re looking to transfer now, we can support you at every stage, helping with accommodation, personalised inductions, welfare requirements and a tailored study programme so you can complete the remainder of your studies at Chester.
