Studying at University of Chester
The University of Chester is based on three campuses located in Chester and an additional in Warrington. It has over 12,000 students across the campuses, big enough to give students space and small enough to create community. Its halls of residences are either on campus or a short distance away.
The Student Advice Centre is based in the Students' Union and can offer advice on accommodation, budgeting, health, jobs and course management. CH1 is the club venue and bar within the Students' Union and is very active in creating a great place to hang out and socialise with regular acts visiting CH1 as well as quiz nights, karaoke and comedy in the evenings and provides large screen sports, food and drink during the day.
There are two shops on campus where you can get university clothing, food and toiletries plus a Starbucks Coffee franchise and catering outlets, but for a wider range the City of Chester is close by. With its beginnings as a Roman fortress there's plenty of architectural features among the shops, cafés, street entertainment, pubs, clubs and restaurants. The city is also home to the famous Chester Zoo and Chester Races and very close to Snowdonia National Park. It is claimed as 'a must see European destination' and the nightlife has links with The University of Chester Students' Union meaning the prices are matched between the two.
There's plenty of clubs and societies for students to further explore their interests. For example, football, mountaineering, cricket, music, debating, TV, literature and drama to name a few of the seventy available. Aside from studies, students can also make use of the chapel, laundrette, bookshop and on-campus facilities such as the swimming pool, tennis and squash courts, grass and astroturf pitches and sports hall.
The University of Chester has been praised for its Faculty of Education and Children's Services and in maintaining and enhancing standards and the quality of opportunities. In the North West of England the university is ranked as 7th.
Jim Bowen, presenter of Bullseye, Singer Duffy, Comedy Dave Vitty radio presenter on Radio 1 and international footballer Jo Fletcher are all alumni of the University of Chester.
The University of Chester is led by Christian values that have come from its heritage and aims to provide an open and inclusive learning environment that ensures teaching excellence and a positive impact on staff and students whilst perusing innovation, excellence and a distinctive student experience.

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.
Great uni. Nothing bad.
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
GO TO THE GYM TO GET SOME MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSCLES
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
Enjoying everything- every of it - every day..!!!
Student union is very welcoming, with a shop, Starbucks, a bar and plenty of seating space. Loads of sign if you get lost.
Chester is a lovely place to start of student life with a great social life and amazing facilities on campus
The student union is the best, SU Fridays are the best night. The SU also has different nights on different days of the week which I really enjoy. The uni is also really small which means you see the same people everyday which makes it so much easier to make friends. The wifi can be a butt slow at times though but overall the campus and facilities are really good.
I'm not on the main campus I'm on queens park campus (the new business campus) and its really nice. Just been done up and opened so all pretty new just a bit of a trek away from the main campus and where most of the accommodation is. There is a free shuttle bus but it sets off at quarter past to get there on the hour and you can walk quicker than that, especially for me as I'm staying at sumner house so therefore I would have to set off at like 5 past to walk down to campus whereas if I walk straight to queens park I don't have to set off until twenty to.
its not bad. warrington is worse than chester
Great university with everything no more than a 10 minute walk away on the main campus.
The university is a lovely place to study and meet new people.
Amazing place but food needs to be better
It's been fun so far.
I have had a great experience at the university. The facilities on campus are great (who doesn't love grabbing a quick Starbucks before walking to a lecture at 8.30am!) and the staff and members are all very nice and welcoming!
I haven't joined any clubs or societies. The WiFi isn't always great and flickers on and off at times. However other facilities on campus are brilliant.
Amazing experience overall! However booking of sports facilities should be better organise, often double-booking has happened and it's frustrating.
A great uni with a great atmosphere. Huge range of clubs and societies and lots of oppotunities
So happy with my choice to come here, I love being a student at Chester.
Chester is a really lovely University with both a homely and City feel. It is the right balance between the countryside & city life. This thing that appealed most to me is the amazing careers facility and how they constantly support you with enhancing your CV.
Brilliant experience loved every minute of being here. Staff always welcome you and make you feel like you have a achieved everyday
I would not change universities for anything, Chester is currently changing and developing to better it's students and I don't think you could ask for much more.
Very welcoming
Excellent university, absolutely love it. The staff are lovely and supporting and are always willing to help with anything you need, The learning facilities are fantastic also.
Started as a new student changing from Liverpool hope an automatically have seen how much better the university is, course changed, but even down to just the general staff. Great university could of picked a better one
I love it here. the end
Seems to be progressing nicely. As a student I feel valued and the University should be aiming to hit the top 50 asap.
Wouldn't recommend it if it wasn't worth it had the best year here and the campus is brilliant along with the facilities and everything else also very close to town centre which is handy.
I have found that I really settled in and everyone is very welcoming, There are so many things to do and get involved in, there really is something for everyone.
such a good community and atmosphere! The campus is quite small compared to other universities I've visited but i prefer this as it was quick to feel at home and settle in. chester is such a friendly city with great parks, shops and nightlife there are lots of students
While the Uni can be underwhelmingly small at times it is still a great place to be
A fantastic university with great support from everyone and a small enough feel where you truly are a person not a number. The city of Chester is amazing too and really makes coming to university here a privilege.
Great place to live. Lively student atmosphere. Excellent study to free time ratio. Everything on the main campus. Super Uni!!
It's amazing and quiet and peaceful
Absolutely love it here!!!!
Such a great, friendly place to be!!!
Chester is brilliant ! Such a friendly campus and the lectures are brilliant.
Absolutely fantastic, much better than expected
I am only a first year so have not used many of the services yet, but when I have all have been helpful.
Lots of things going on in the Student Union, good facilities with starbucks and a gym and a good range of societies to join.
I was nervous about starting University but Chester was so welcoming and made me feel like a person not just a number which was really appreciated. The city is great and I have enjoyed every moment of first year with no regrets, Bring on second year!
Great area with a brilliant town centre and good night life. The university uses god teaching and there is plenty of support avaliable should you need it. Many sports clubs and other societies are based at the university and are suitable for all abilities
the campus is small so it easy to find your way around and it soon feels like home. the student union bar is nothing special but always has great deals on and is in a great location
I love my uni. I chose the right place and right course. Just feels right I highly recommend the Music Journalism course
