Founded in 1839, the University of Chester is one of the oldest higher education institutions in the country. We are proud of our strong learning tradition, our ability to move with the times, and our energetic student community - and have a positive national reputation for work based learning. Our concern for each individual encourages diverse personalities, qualities and interests to flourish. We value a wide range of approaches to learning, and are dedicated to offering you the best possible experience in training, studying and research for the real world.

The University operates on five sites in and around Chester and one in Warrington, as well as our University Centre in Shrewsbury.

We take great pride in the excellence of our teaching, as well as our world-class research, and we work in partnership with universities and organisations from across the globe.
