Loved it! Absolutely comforting experience. I would say the staff was EXCELLENT. Sue and Dale were at their BEST when it came to teaching and student support. I must say, I was able to get my final project done only because of Sue. I appreciate all the resources provided to us by university, and access to so many databases and online libraries. Everything was made easy but studies specifically were made easiest. Grateful to have been able to experience doing my masters in this University.

Hands down, the best part. Uni throws you together with people from different backgrounds, countries, and mindsets. You end up making friends you never would’ve met otherwise flatmates who become family, coursemates who suffer through deadlines with you, and random society friends who drag you to events you didn’t know you needed. You grow socially as much as academically. You learn how to live with others, communicate better, and build real independence

The system is easy to navigate and there is a lot of support when needed. However the cost of living in the area is too high. Also student life is a bit boring

This university goes above and beyond. Lectures spend time understanding the topics your interested in and give guidance that is relevant, making sure you have the ability to expand and grow into the field you care about the most. The support is throughout the university from student service, academic support, careers, library staff, laboratory technicians and peer support is incredible. It feels like a community not a university, everyone is there to give there best and expand their knowledge. I'm so grateful I get to learn here.

As an international student, the University of Chester has provided a very positive experience. The staff are supportive, the teaching quality is good, and there is a strong sense of community. The university offers excellent academic and wellbeing support, and Chester is a safe and peaceful city, which makes studying here comfortable and enjoyable. At this time, I do not have any significant suggestions for improvement.

Actually, we would have lacked a lot of social activities and activities because of Covid-19, but our university really tried its best to provide us with a lot of online activities and convenience, which met my expectation and even exceeded it.

I have just completed my masters and it was more than I expected. The overall support from the tutors and teachers were A1. The food places within the university were quite expensive so I would suggest bringing your own food for breaks etc.
