University of Chester Reviews

Due to covid, cant really comment much as only visited campus a couple times but always clean and has a comfortable atmosphere

Good uni with good staff, facilities are nice

So glad I chose this university. Staff are wonderful and always happy to help out with queries or just have a chat!

Due to covid not able to comment as been online all year

I haven’t had the opportunity to be on campus all that much this year but I have enjoyed the times I have been there. I hope I have face to face classes in the next academic year to fully experience the university

I love my course and being on campus for a short amount of time was still really enjoyable.

Small easy to get around with good lecturers

Amazing team. Julie and James are always at hand when you need them , cant recommend them enough!

Staff is very helpful. Facilities are clean and modern. Great range of sports facilities

Wonderful for student, and has wonderful support.

The University of Chester feels out of touch with its students and sometimes even the staff. I can only speak for my Graphic Design course but I don’t feel that I have learnt a single thing and the University’s lack luster response to COVID has made this even worse. The course was a constant stream of tests and very little learning about the subject or necessary skills needed for entering the industry.

Students Union could be enhanced to entice all students to use the facilities. Also, the loss of the coffee shop was a negative move in my view

University as a whole is decent with more than enough facilities and multiple campuses specialising in different areas. Could have been more support available to students during the pandemic and clarity regarding timetables.

Very homely and the students and staff are wonderful

Bad online experience with classes

Pretty good uni that cares about its students, its a shame the SU went down hill so badly the last two years ....

Campus is very easy to locate and get around, staff are friendly, lots of socials to join

Chester campus is very lovely with plants and greenery. They have a variety of services sadly that I have not used due to covid and lockdowns

Studied here for both my undergrad and post grad. Both experiences have been different but equally rewarding

I have thoroughly enjoyed my experience at university!

Hardly been on campus due to covid. Facilities are good and canteen is good. Have not used Careers yet but societies are good

It’s a beautiful city with a number of amazing campuses with a range of courses to chose from! Why would you choose anywhere else!

Very good staff and campus with welcoming students etc!!! I have had a good first year and can’t wait for the next two :)

Great uni overall. Recommend to anyone just a nice place to be

Great university! I really enjoyed my course, most tutors were really helpful

Highly organised and very helpful staff members. Situated near the town center. On site 24hours security. Facilities and support are given in every step of career. Best online studies and moral supports.

University is nice, library is great!

Due to covid 19 I haven’t had much experience of the university campus itself.

great campus and uni environment

Amazing university. Staff are helpful, and whenever I have questions, they are fast at answering

Large academic library and course specific subscriptions were helpful for my studies

University of Chester have done a good job looking after us especially during the pandemic.

As a whole the university is good, pandemic has affected the way the have treat students however and notice there are both good tutors and some which are harsh for no apparent reason.

Haven’t been able to visit my campus too much due to COVID-19, however I’m happy with everything I’ve seen so far

Even though the circumstances weren't in my favour for my stay abroad at the University of Chester, I've enjoyed every minute of it thanks to what the University could offer me.

Decent university, especially if you're from a small town and can't hack a big city. I'd love to know more about what the student union actually does, and obviously clubs and societies haven't been on because of Covid. The campus WiFi is also a pain in the arse to log into but works great once you're on. Visit Chester, see if you like the city, if you like Chester, this uni will do you just fine

yes all good as far as I am concerned

Boring lectures and unhelpful staff. Just got to a different Uni

Great people, Good lecturers, good four years but glad its over.

The clubs, bars, SU and societies are actually really good; especially if you want to drink away the sorrow of wasting £9250 a year on tuition fees here. Internet is decent as well.

I do like the Uni. I feel like a lot more things could be improved though. For example lectures and students having a good relationship as I felt most the lectures act like I’m wasting their time. Apart from that I like chester uni

I met friends here completed my course and loved chester

Having studied my undergrad at a different University - Chester Uni facilities are not very good.

Societies seem only for competitive people not pleasure.

All the lectures make every student feel at ease and go above and beyond to help everyone

I don’t actually go to the university campuses as my course is off campus

Amazing staff amazing people amazing experience

Fab uni, not too far from town or from my accomodation. I’m doing religious studies so I’m just outside out the university so don’t make very many trips to campus!

Great university, small but amazing

UOC is a university full of opportunities, from study abroad to exciting societies. I am studying at kingsway creative campus and the staff always strive for the best out of their students and take pride in what the students have created!

I don’t actually attend the university itself, I attend the Hammond School, but what I have experienced at the uni, it’s fab

Great uni experience, enjoyed making friends and studying the course

It’s a good course but not great support for struggling students.

A clean and nice enviroment, the staff are lovely and always making sure your okay. Lessons are intense and fun at the same time

Nice campus and good facilities

always feel at home and in a community

A decent place if a little underwhelming. Not bad

I am at the Hammond which is a completely different campus. I’m very thankful the Hammond are connected to the uni so I can achieve my degree

University is in a great location. University staff are approachable with any concerns.

Fantastic university, services provided and amazing supportive staff.

Nothing I regret about coming here!

After spending 1 year here, I am super glad I came! Wouldn’t change this decision for the world! Best university to attend

Such a helpful university! So excited to be joining in September!!!

SU needs to be updated, it’s like a village pub

Good campus with helpful staff.

Amazing university, love it here

Best university! Help you 3 years after you leave to get the job you really want!

Fun times and met friends for life

The best university, always on hand to help with any issue

Truly the most amazing university out there

This university is amazing, honestly has the best staff. The staff are always willing to help what ever the time. After now finishing my accounting course the careers team have helped get me an amazing job lined up in London. And even if this job isn't for me, then Chester University have said the careers team will help relocate me. The Students Union is amazing and the clubs and societies are amazing, the best way to make friends.

I truly believe this is the best uni in the country! The staff are always on hand to give you any help. They support you for 3 years after you leave, to help you get the right job for you personally. The society's range from law to cheerleading and are all amazing and an excellent way to make new friends. I have never had a single problem with the wifi here, never down or faulty. And even the on campus accommodation isn't that bad as i lived at Grosvenor House during first year which was okay but can get a little lonely as i lived alone but the societies help with making friends and usually you find at least one person who lives there. Then i moved to the partnership accommodation called The Towpath for my last 2 years in Chester which haven't been the best and this is all due to the accommodation manager now. Under Fresh the towpath was amazing but now under Roost the new manager is rude and disgusting.

Amazing uni all round can't wait to be here for another year!

cannot recommend it here enough

Amazing uni cant wait to begin in september!!!!

AMAZING UNI, campus is gorgeous, staff great and all round great place to study!!

Amazing uni, cant recommend it here enough

University of Chester is Great. Just don’t live at the Towpath!!!

So happy to study here! Best uni

i can not fault this university i love it

Love this university would not leave it as all

Best uni to attend! so happy i chose Chester University

Best university in the country to go to! The uni works with you even after you have left to get into the right job for you

Love it here. Stunning place to educate.

I love the university it is so good however THE TOWPATH IS AWFUL

Honestly the best place in the country to come to university.

Extremely good university would recommend to anyone however stay clear of The Towpath

Truly an amazing place to stay and study would recommend to anyone looking at going to university

The University of Chester is an amazing small scale campus to study and live at!

Campus has everything you need, close by. (Parkgate) Plenty of societies and clubs to join, there's definitely something for everyone if not create your own. SU is always full, especially with events on, nice, affordable food. Can't comment on the careers service as not used it yet however they send out regular emails.

The Students' Union is an amazing place to go with your friends, with there also being a wide range of clubs and societies to join too. The campus is always clean and the staff are always friendly

Great campus, easy to get everything needed to study! Modern and friendly people

It’s good, highly recommend, all round enjoyable

The uni for everything else is top notch, best of the best. Would recommend to anyone to come to Chester Uni!

Big up Traycie nice accommodation

Good course but the university as an overall isn’t the best

The University is very small and easy to get around, the staff are all friendly and helpful and as a result of the size it doesn't take long to get around. The laundrette (8 washers and 8 dryers) is pathetic as it is shared between thousands of students so you may have to go in the early hours of the morning to spend £2.40 for a wash and £1.40 for a dry that doesn't dry. The SU is alright just a bit small with 2 pool tables and drinks are slightly expensive but then again everything is in Chester so it's probably the cheapest you're going to get. Placement of the main campus is great for reaching the centre as its a 5 minute walk. Not that there's much to do other than get groceries.

nice nice nice nice cnice nice nicenice

Other than the abysmal night life (just 3 expensive clubs) the city is pleasant, safe and easy to navigate.

Fantastic uni. Got in through clearing and it's the best thing that's ever happened to me.

The premise staff are amazing, everything is always clean and working. The lectures are really interesting (English) It’s in a great city There’s a really diverse group of students which makes forming friendships much easier The Catholic society is my favourite and the catholic priest is amazing, very funny and kind and really makes you feel as if you matter.

Chester University is a small campus-based university, which is great because everything is super close! The facilities are good, and are constantly being improved and updated,

Please don't apply for this Univerity. First they ask us to send the advance free, before the Skype interview. Then after 3 or 4 attempts they reject you and they will return the money after 4 or 5 months. Insane process

Best three years of my life at the University of Chester. Previously looked at other universities, but glad I chose this university as it has such a welcoming community. I studied Media and the lecturers were helpful and if I didn't understand a certain feedback comment/topic. The societies were fantastic and worked together with the sports teams. All campuses have a sense of community and you have so many opportunities with the chester difference award and careers and employability. Wish I studied my masters at this fantastic university!

the Campus is great, the wifi can be a bit dodgy sometimes, and wireless printers don’t really work, and game consoles can’t connect to the wifi, and with my fire tv stick you have to log in to the wifi every single time it goes off.

Chester Uni is a great place to study, people are really friendly, plenty of good quality private sector student houses which are much cheaper than halls, my group of friends have found a great property with Chester Student Rentals for the next academic year 2018/2019, all inclusive for under £100 per week.

Started a Postgraduate course (MRes). Very little help offered by both the department and the University for many things, such as the library, and even little things like parking. The department has no clear guidelines for the MRes program, blurring documentation from PhD and MA courses in a confusing and disorderly mess. Can't wait to submit my dissertation and finish, definitely regret choosing the University of Chester, they either need to scrap programs that have little support and very little guidance, or implement new resources that offer clear guidelines and support.

University of Chester is a great place to study, the campuses are all very close to each other so no need to bring your car, I have found a great private sector landlord called Chester Student Rentals.co.uk. They really look after you and their properties, check out their reviews on their website or Facebook page if you are looking for fantastic accommodation.

Internet can be massively improved, glad the console wifi is separate but on my phone it keeps cutting out

A good range of clubs and societies

SU Fridays at the students union are the best, there's no need to go into town. SU has cheap drinks and good music. There are so many sports and societies on offer, attend as many free sessions as you can before commiting, also the nights out with any social are very messy

Never had any problem with facilities, student union, careers or the internet. I never joined a society, however there is a lot of options and something to interest anyone.

Loads of clubs that you can join, wifi is normally working 5/7 days a week haha..

SU Fridays are so good, I love it.

The university has a number of different facilities and services available to their student, however there can be a long waiting list. The improvements to main campus library are fab and on Queens Park Campus this provides all the relevant content in one place and it is easy to find.

Really supportive university with a friendly and fun atmosphere.

Awful uni, especially for nursing. Inconsistent marking, blatant discrimination and bullying tactics used against those with extra needs. Very poorly put together course that often results in very little being gained from placement. In addition to this the expectations from work are not clear and communicated. Following the handbook is pointless as the lecturers ignore it. Overall a terrible uni

Really good uni, just some basic things could do with updating when it comes to accomodation

It's a brilliant university, I love it much better than high school!

The university is great like the courses that people do are amazing, so are the societies the best parts about them are the social nights where everyone dresses up its brilliant. The wifi on the other hand not so great, on campus it's amazing like connectes brilliantly and works and everything but if your in accommodation especially not on campus then it can be a pain, like going off at 7pm for some unknown reason and then not coming back until your asleep at night.

wifi is appaling but other than that all good ha ha ha aha ha ha
