The University of Chester offers students a community that allows for the opportunity to engage with other students who are experiencing different interests and to take part in various volunteering opportunities, which can improve self-awareness and confidence and widen your network. The careers service offers CV appointments, career guidance and opportunities to gain recognition for extra skills gained to enhance your CV. The lectures are taught in smaller groups, which allows students the opportunity to be more active and shape discussions whilst the academic staff are extremely knowledgeable and are active in research projects that can help to inform current topics. The library provides students a space to meet and study together, or individual computer spaces are available on the lower ground. Staff are always helpful and happy to point students towards services they may require. There is also the opportunity to take part in various sports, including table tennis and netball, a gym and a swimming pool. The SU Bar on campus has different activities throughout, including quizzes, karaoke and bingo, and The Hub cafe offers freshly cooked meals for students to enjoy throughout the day. Just a 10-minute walk away is the centre of Chester, with a bus station for links to Liverpool, Wales and the local surrounding area. Lots of coffee shops, restaurants and shopping opportunities as well as the Cathedral which has various exhibitions throughout the year. An improvement in the food selection choices would be welcomed by those who have dietary requirements, such as diabetes and for those who are nutritionally aware and choose to know their dietary intake. Ingredients to be freely available to avoid having to ask counter/serving staff to go and ask the chef would also be helpful.

My course is taught predominantly online, including 1.5 hours of online teaching. The quality of the online teaching was very good, and there was always content available to access beforehand.

I think the university is in a great location, and has a lot of activities to get involved in as well as offering a lot of support such as wellbeing support and career advice! I think that the university could look into offering more accommodation options.

I like the fact my lectures are condensed into full days although it can be long winded it also gives you free time to manage course work and other things effectively. I think the library could be updated as the main campus library looks a lot better! It would be great if there were more subject specific campus jobs available.

Lovely places to walk! There is a lot of great restaurant, cafes, bars. Everything is within walking distance in the city Not as busy as other cities. There is not as many shops as there used to be.
