How we teach at the University of Chester
This course, including the Foundation Year, is delivered in three terms of ten weeks each. In each term, you will study 40 credits usually comprised of either one or two modules, covering a breadth of topics and subject skills.
In Years 1-3 (Levels 4-6), the average number of scheduled contact hours per week typically ranges from six to ten hours. This will vary depending upon the level of study and the complexity of the material being taught. If studied, the Foundation Year will have 12 hours of contact time per week; there may be variations to this depending on the subject matter and any practical sessions.
This course is delivered through a mix of in-person lectures and workshops.
You should expect to spend an average of 20 hours per week on independent study, which might include following asynchronous learning material on the University’s VLE, tutorial time with staff, using the University’s library, working with peers and preparing work for assessment.
Teaching will be delivered by experienced academics and practitioners in the subject. This will be supplemented by occasional guest lecturers and speakers, as well as field visits where appropriate.
There will be a broad range of assessment methods used throughout the Business Management course, so that you are exposed to the different types of task you might encounter in the workplace. These will include coursework in the form of reports, portfolios of work, presentations (such as pitches and debates), peer assessment, reflective reviews and evaluation reports. In some modules, you will encounter class tests and practical assessments. We continuously review the assessment methods used to ensure they adequately prepare you for graduate level employment.
All teaching is delivered by experienced academics and practitioners, with the fundamental principles of the Chester Future Skills Curriculum at its core - building your subject competence, confidence and key transferable skills to shape you into a world-ready Chester graduate.

"I truly am humbled by the recognition and the support my peers and lecturers gave to me. I joined the University with an open heart ready to be moulded by the British culture and educational excellence. The last four years have been a whirlwind of a time. The three years in University and my study abroad year at Disney taught me so much; it almost feels surreal. I really am touched."
