English Literature - BA (Hons)

University of Chichester

I have really enjoyed the friends I have made and the opportunities for joining clubs, societies and activities around campus and the city. I live in Stockbridge, and think that benches in the middle square would be helpful as sometimes you would like to get out of the flat, but don’t want to have to walk all the way to town, or the parks. Especially now that the weather is nicer, I think it would be beneficial.

Chichester is a lovely place to study. Good weather, lots of local shops and places to hang out or study. Staff and students are friendly and happy to chat. Really lovely atmosphere.

It feels like a community not just a place to study. I never feel too isolated. There is always someone to talk to and the university does a great job of reminding students of the access to support. I do feel as though some buildings could seem more inviting such as the academic block. I’m not a huge fan of the individual desks but I understand why they are there.

If you’re looking for a smaller university where lecturers know you and aren’t too interested in major night life Chichester is great

The safe, homely community feel the Uni provides. As the uni is so small it really helps to make you feel at home as everyone knows each other, therefore automatically it helps to make you feel that there is support. It could be improved by having more staff in specific departments such as English, as this would enable more course/ module options to be chosen. As at the moment we were not able to get many choices, and lots of the options were not completely English literature modules, often more weighted in other subject fields such as history or psychology which in our final year, are new and difficult concepts to grasp which is often frustrating as it is not what I wanted and choose to study for my degree.
