Late Medieval History degrees in All England

Most of the lecturers are great and very talented. But I would say the first year is very intense in terms of pace and the amount of content for each lecture so a little overwhelming. There’s a large amount of neuroscience and stats. Feedback can be a bit vague. There are societies and sport clubs. I tried a few societies but found them cliquey but others like them. Can’t comment on SUbas I’m a commuter and never been. The location of the uni is pretty isolated and boring. I’m a commuter but would feel bored living in Egham. It just feels like a village and is a 2 mile round walk. The uni is next to an A road and the walk up the hill is dodgy (narrow path). The people here tend to be on the posh side. I do think the campus and library is pretty, there’s a good library and teaching quality is good.

Positives: There is a "close nit" and collective feeling at this uni. Since classes are fairly small and Chichester itself is a fairly small city, you get to know the area very well even after a few walks around the city and campuses. (The local charity and book shops are very nice, please do check them out!) If you enjoy a small town vibe where you can have charming hangouts with a few of your friends at the local bakery/coffee shop and you don't mind frequenting the same shop every week, then I would definitely recommend this uni for you. The resources for student help and support are easy to book and most needs are accounted for such as exploring counselling and neurodivergency. Moving to the university was very seamless and I integrated well into my accommodation (Stockbridge). Negatives: If you enjoy exploring a large busy city with giant buildings and that "metropolitan life", then Chichester is likely not the place for you. If you don't like commuting to your nearest shop or maybe not having access to specific amenities, then maybe do some research and have a stroll through the city on google maps.

I am a mature distance learning student, completing my MA in Philosophy of Religion and Ethics. The online platform is easy to use and the digital library is expansive. All staff have been easy to contact when I need any support, including IT, Finance, Admin, my personal tutor and teaching staff. I have been assigned a mentor to help me stay connected with university life and the Philosophy department. The modules are contemporary, as are the course materials. The student cohort is diverse and we all connect to the course flexibly, from different time zones. I receive a weekly events newsletter which has plenty of options for attending online webinars and socials.
