The University of Chester is one of the oldest higher education providers in the UK, having recently celebrated its 183rd year of teaching.

Originally based on one campus in Chester, the University now offers more than 200+ single and combined honours programmes across several specialist sites in Chester, Shrewsbury, and Warrington.

Their courses have an emphasis on practical learning to enhance prospects via industry placements or overseas opportunities, ranging from five-weeks to one-year.

The University also offers state-of-the-art facilities including the Seaborne library, Chester Students’ Union (CSU), specialist laboratories, catering outlets, and our University-owned accommodation. There’s also an impressive choice of indoor and outdoor sports and leisure facilities, including a swimming pool, gym, tennis courts, running tracks, and two floodlit pitches.

One of eight world-famous British Heritage cities, Chester welcomes over eight million tourists each year. Ideally located in the North West of England, it is less than an hour from Manchester and Liverpool, just a two-hour direct train journey to London and close to both the beautiful Welsh coast and mountains.

Boasting the largest Roman amphitheater in Britain, the most complete city walls at almost 2 miles long, and a 1000-year-old Cathedral, Chester is packed full of 'must see' beauty and heritage. On the outskirts of the city, you’ll also find the world-famous Chester Zoo and Cheshire Oaks, the largest retail outlet in the UK.

Based on student votes, the city of Chester recently placed Top 20 for Best UK Student Cities (StudentCrowd, 2022).
