There are loads of great societies at the university especially in terms of sport! The socials have always been fun. There is also a careers service to help you decide your future path after uni and I have found this to be very helpful during my final year.
Good University with great staff and culture.
Fantastic new simulation suites for midwifery. Accessible libraries that offer 1-2-1 study support. Lots of societies. Unfortunately Wifi not always great, especially when a whole cohort is trying to sign in!
Tudor Place truly is a fantastic place to live, being a slightly older (21) undergraduate student, I was really keen to ensure that I found the perfect accommodation to spend my first year of university life. All of the rooms are modern and up to date with fantastic storage (including under-bed), I have a gold en-suite room and the size of the room has been great! The staff are brilliant - they respond to emails quickly and there’s always someone at the desk which is helpful with parcels! There is security on a night time as well as 24/7 CCTV surveillance which is fantastic for making you feel safe and secure. The location is great. I am a midwifery student so my campus is only a 20 minute walk (which is through town too) and placement less than a 20 minute walk down the road. Being so close to the town centre is fantastic for shops and bars etc. I love Tudor Place so much that I’ll be moving into a studio here in September and will hopefully stay there for the remaining 2 years of my
The university building is very characteristic but also modern is some areas such as the nursing department.
The campus has amazing facilities which i’ve found useful and everything is within walking distance and great accessibility!
My experience at Chester university hasn't been great, but that's more due to the department of my subject rather than the uni as a whole. I don't recommend the university if you have disabilities such as dyslexia, ADHD, autism etc. I have had to battle for support every step of the way in all of these areas.
Overall a good university not anything to complain about
Great university, lots of support from lecturers
good uni and the facilities available are good
Great university with lots of great opportunities
Great! Amazing support and staff
I joined a badminton club, and the swimming pool is free for students. There is a football ground , is a good place for the people who love sports. There is a library with fully fonction that support me when I need a quiet space to study. And there are many study space in the campus, I never worried about there is no space for me.
University of Chester has all the potentials for international students at any level ranging from foundation to doctorate degree. They have individual campus for major sectors of study. I belong to health care campus located on the bank of river dee which has all the facilities and specific library for health care students. Plenty of space to study even with a large group for research and team work. Best thing for a postgraduate level student.
I like the University, but I didn’t have the opportunity to experience much because I didn’t have offline classes as I was promised.
I honestly do not know where to start with this review. It will be a long one but if you are considering booking the Towpath, I would strongly suggest you take a read. It has taken me so long to write this as I’ve only just processed all the wrong-doing’s and distress that was caused during my stay at the Towpath. I would even go as far as saying that I was ‘gaslit’ into believing that my best interests were taken into consideration and that the situation was dealt with sensitively. When I moved in , I was very happy, my room was clean and the accommodation is situated in a nice area. The kitchen was spacious but the ripped sofa was tatty and full of dirt. I reported this and it was then cleaned. The communal areas seemed nice, although the gym was very disappointing. The first minor issue arose when a tenant had moved out , leaving behind a whole fridge of food and many cupboards filled with their property. When I had finally realised they had moved out , I let the staff know that
Nothing too good or bad either way. Decent uni, friendly staff.
At the University of Chester I am a first year law student. I really enjoy my law course as it’s very engaging and enjoyable. The course is presented very well and the law module leaders are very helpful with all of the help you could need.
30 characters aren't enough to describe about UnOC... It's one of the nicest place with nicest humans on earth
Excellent teachers and very good and environment friendly buildings for students
A really nice university experience, would recommend.
Lectures are friendly and are usually quick to respond to emails, the campus itself is clean with many of the buildings quite modern
Chester university has helped me develop my skills as an engineer in a more real-world application. The campus in first year was fantastic but due to a recent move to a different site, science related facilities have been lacking but and developing slowly back to their initial standards.
The University of Chester is a good uni with a pretty campus. The Exton campus is quite small but has everything you need. There are a lot of societies and sports and the SU is very active. I personally don’t interact much with societies or the SU (hence 4 stars) but my limited experience with them has been great. Overall happy with my choice of UK uni as an international American student.
It's generally alright, not too fantastic management higher up - but my department (TRS) is absolutely fantastic, I couldn't ask for a better department.
Great uni, incredible welcoming, helpful and supportive! Remarkably high academic standards. Beautiful place great campus!
It is good, Thankyou very much for asking
Really great experience! Enjoyed every minute, staff has been great & felt very safe and secure for a first living environment
Nice enough clean campus, quite a good range of societies.
Great Uni to study at. Queenspark Campus is a beautiful place to meet with friends and learn
Due to covid I haven’t really had the full experience yet of university so can’t say much on the clubs and societies
Great university with great staff
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!
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
