Having completed my undergrad at the University of Bristol, my expectations were set high when I accepted my choice at the University of Chester for their 4 year GEM program. I can honestly say that the student support I have received, both personal and academic, has been second to none. Being a slightly smaller institution, the staff have so much time for you and you feel like a really valued member of the student body. Additionally, the facilities are state of the art and absolutely incredible. I really love UoC and can’t wait to spend the next few years here!
Really lovely uni, cares about students
I have really enjoyed my time a Chester so far and look forward to the rest of my journey here.
My time as a UoC student has been very exciting and somewhat challenging. I would say that it’s a lot more different from the education system in my home country. However, my lecturers and the staff of UoC has made this transition a lot easier for me. UoC has different campuses across Cheshire with the main campus on Parkgate Road, Chester. There are so many school owned and private accommodations and it’s relatively easy to get an accommodation near the school. I’m thankful for my PAT, lecturers and my project supervisor. I would definitely recommend
Good. Keep it up. It's a pleasant thing to be here in the UK.
My University is very good I love it It's a good place to study
the university itself is quite clean, quite a few societies but they are very unorganised
The uni is the perfect size, not too big but not too small. Very easy to get around with maps all around to help guide you to the right places. The library is open all day so is useful if you need somewhere to study late on in the day. The clubs and societies are very diverse with lots of different clubs to try out new things and try new stuff.
Good campus and events, average
Honestly please just put a vending machine in a building other than the library and period products somewhere else on campus because they’re not always even in the campus shop in an emergency and the one bathroom with the machine doesn’t even always work and only had tampons with no applicators
Not bad overall, wifi has improved more but could still use work. More study spaces would be nice
It’s been great, the university has helped me and supported me a lot.
The university is very good at making everyone feel welcome by putting on events for people to attend. There is a whole range of society's for students with a range of hobbies. They also offer lots of help with your academic work by providing library services and the ASK team. The student union keep you updates and put on a lot of events.
The staff are extremely useful and ensure that any problems I may have are solved.
Not apart of any society so can’t really comment. Everything else is lovely
great facilities and friendly and accessible campus.
Plenty of societies to join and campus facilities are good
Awesome school, best I could ever ask for
Overall the experience is good I've been a part of many clubs and societies and met so many amazing people, I've enjoyed my course too no big issues
Great all round. They offer a wide range of societies, there's always something that will interest you.
Really basic, nothing special, quite underwhelming
The University is an excellent choice for students seeking quality education in a supportive and beautiful environment. Its focus on practical learning, coupled with a vibrant campus life
Campus is rather outdated, not enough study spaces. Student support is lackluster.
Chester wants its students to be employable at the end, as a result, they provide a huge amount of support both within the course itself, and alongside it. There are excellent gym facilities at Exton park, including a swimming pool, racquet courts and playing fields, plenty of societies, as well as various seminars that are free to attend. I have a disability and have had plenty of support from lecturers and other departments including the disability and inclusion team, not once have I felt like I was excluded, all I ever need to do is speak to someone and accommodations can be figured out. Outside of Uni, Chester is an amazing city, everything is within walking distance, and as an Archaeology and History student, the layers of history in the area have been fascinating to discover, and our lecturers take us out of the classroom to explore it. They also have close ties with the cathedral and museum and local archives who are more than happy to support us in multiple ways.
So far have received great exprience.
The societies that are able to join are good, my issue is with how they are ran. They can be significantly better and aren’t doing events and other activities my friends at other universities say. The main campus is good with all its facilities, WiFi is great. When I have been in contact with the student union I have had no positive experience.
Best student support from university staff
Everything is exactly as you would expect it, aside from the wifi being a little slow or at times totally impossible. Chester always seems to be finding new and innovative ways to upgrade their facilities to accommodate all students for instance the renovation done to Seaborne Library which is now the perfect space.
Honestly this university is an all-rounder. There isn't much to complain about; no major flaws or missing services (at least for my course/department). Solid experience.
Were to start about Tudor Place chester. The rooms are very spacious and the heater that comes with the room is very useful especially in these colder months. Everyone here is very friendly including the staff which are available for most of the day. The social rooms are a good way to meet new people and the gym is free and is available 24 hours. The washer and dryer are very efficient and are responsibly priced. Tudor Place is very convenient for the university and the city centre, both are within a 10 minute work if that. I would highly recommend coming to tudor place as it is a great accommodation and you will feel right at home here as it has everything you could need.
Great uni, welcoming students and friendly staff, great events, professors are very helpful
This is my second year living here and i still absolutely love it! I have rebooked again for next year, which the girls on reception have been so helpful with and made it so easy! the staff are so friendly and easy to talk to, the location is great and my room is so homely. Would recommend to any student in Chester :)
I like it here so much that I am rebooking for next year. The whole building is nice, there are social events every week, and the staff are very kind and welcoming.
Great and friendly atmosphere, train at the Hammond which is affiliated with the uni, highly recommend for musical theatre students
I love the university and the psychology department. Great faculty.
Good university, friendly staff
Great courses, everyone is so friendly. The campuses are lovely and have everything you need.
At first I was apprehensive about starting uni, but soon realised that every one is very nice and just ask for help because you teacher are there to help you and want you ou to get the best experience at university
Really happy with my experience at the University of Chester. This was truly a career transforming experience for me and my fellow students as we all have the same opinion. The teachers were helpful the campuses are great.
Staff are lovely and campuses are functionally brilliant.
Good uni, nice library, would recommend to others
Amazing experience here in my first 3 weeks!
love it here, everyone is so kind.
Great university with lecturers who always help you when you’re struggling.
All the staff are friendly and very approachable. It is encourages to talk and make use of the staff so I don't fell bad when I am booking appointments to talk about the course. There are many societies for everyone to join. The Campus is excellent and the Chester is a lovely city to live in with something to do every day.
Welcome week has been a wonderful experience, and I’m so excited to start my journey here. The university offers a lot of support, and the lecturers are well trained in their fields.
Good campus overall great socal spaces
The university were consistently reassuring us of the services available to us and helping us by signposting to anything we may need, even faculty members like the dean will choose to stop and talk to you to ask you about your experiences, they constantly want feedback on how they could improve as well
Our two campus cats just showing up at different places on the main campus, I would say is the highlight of my day or when Millie would just invite herself into our accommodation.
Wifi is slow but appart from that the faciltities are really good.
Tudor Place offers excellent, contemporary accommodation. Its prime location is just a 5-minute stroll from Chester City Centre and Exton Park Main Campus, making it incredibly convenient. I had the pleasure of staying there for 7 months and was thoroughly impressed. The staff are outstanding—always friendly and ready to assist. I would highly recommend Tudor Place, giving it a perfect 10/10.
Perfect experience so far :) Great campus
Excellent place to live, Great Value for money, right on the canal with a great view, next to a good bar, Staff are always friendly and helpful resolving any issues within a short time with no hassle, any student wanting to live in Chester should definitely get a place at the towpath.
Had an amazing experience so far, looking forward to my future years
The nursing course is targeted at Adult Nurses. Mental Health Students are often an afterthought and the quality of teaching in years 1 and 2 was poor. Significant improvements were made in year 3, but this was as a result of critical feedback at the end of year 2.
Loved my years at Chester university, would have loved a little more help on careers and less pressure to always be finding a job.
I really enjoy attending Chester University.
university of Chester is located in very beautiful and ancient city where breathtaking views to be observe. chester university have every kind of facilities, clubs and sports and etc. and way of teaching is excellent.
The campus facilities are very nice and all the staff and professors are very helpful.
3 Campus’s spread around Chester, within a 30 minute walk from each other. I currently study at the Queens Park Campus, where there is a cafeteria providing ready cooked meals for lunch and breakfast. I am aware that the clubs and societies like the dance society are great as I took part of a few of the dance classes, a welcoming and friendly atmosphere from both the students and those running the societies
Overall good facilities and experiences
Uni is lovely and well organised and run.
The university is great, and meets all of my studying and social needs.
I joined the lacrosse society this year with my flatmate from Tudor. This society made me feel welcome and I have met many lovely people that are my friends now. Never felt alone at this university and I am enjoying it a lot, my master. I feel supported by my tutor and so fare has been an amazing experience.
the university of chester is good
I have really enjoyed my time at this university! I have made friends for life and feel so supported by my lecturers
I study at the wheeler campus, its a beautiful site with great canteen and nice classrooms~
Very good facilities and activities
Great university. Offers lots of support!
The campus is good with the needed facilities. There are a range of sports and societies
Never used the careers service so hard to give an opinion
Not much social events but with the new renovation it's nicer facilities
From my experience of the facilities and interactions with staff; very friendly, accessible and an extremely good experience
Great university in a very good location
It's a supportive and friendly environment. Love the activities such as badman classes.
Modern campus that had everything you need! Easy to navigate and really good facilities
There’s a satisfactory range of activities/facilities/opportunities here
Pretty decent, provides what you need and maybe a little more.
History department are amazing!
Great place to be all around to be honest
Being a student at the University Of Chester had been a wonderful experience, the library facilities are wonderful, they have a wide range of sports team that you can join and a number of societies that you can be part of they also have amazing food facilities which is brilliant. However the WiFi is poor and systems are often down throughout the year which isn’t always convenient, but the overall experience has been quite good
Great experience so far, first year done
Lovely uni to be at. Would definitely recommend
Really great, small university. It doesn’t get the funding that larger universities get, but the quality of the learning and the social experience is never compromised. Unlike the larger universities, they actually know your name!
Everyone is super friendly and the uni is kept clean
Lovely uni, I have made so many amazing friends and have had an amazing experience thus far
A great atmosphere with welcoming students all around. A wonderful selection of sports and events throughout the year
Lots of student amenities near by, amazing place to make new friends and try new things
Great university that’s has a campus with everything you need on. Great study rooms and friendly staff, library is amazing and has recently been updated.
Chester is a good relatively small university. There are many clubs, especially sports, and events that you can take part in. The campus itself (Exton Park) is easy to navigate and is always clean. The wifi on campus can be a little temperamental, but generally is ok. The lecturers in my experience are all very friendly and genuinely care about the students they teach.
Exton park is old and there is always something broken. The seats in most of the lecture rooms are broken. The SU is small so isn’t used a lot.
The lecturers and facilities at chester have been exceptional. Being on a Masters its different for me to experience social societies as classes i wanted to attend are during the day which i have lectures in that time but I am loving it here
I personally have not had an interaction with the careers team but from what I have heard they are incredibly useful. The campus facilities and wifi are all you could ask for really. They have so many sports pitches/fields which are great for sporty students. The wifi is always perfect. Never had any issues with us especially when working in the library for those more academic students. The clubs and societies are all so welcoming and always a lot of fun on a Wednesday night social.
I mainly use the wheeler campus and i think it’s lovely. It’s clean and there’s canteen selling breakfasts lunch and dinner which is great. The societies in the uni i would say are good but there is not a large range. Other than that great.
This is a really good accommodation with any issues always attended to in a matter of days. Never had a problem living here for the last two years and excited to have booked for a third.
The campus is in a great location and the lectures are very helpful
1. I have thoroughly enjoyed my times here at Granary Studios. From move in week the atmosphere created has been next level, consistent weekly events including freebie Friday. The place is well secure with staff in the office and student wardens at night. The student wardens are very friendly. Cleaning is 100%.
Good uni with regular career help and good sports favi
really good university overall
Great library and social spaces.
