Our Students Say Having such wonderful tutors throughout my time at Chester pushed me to look for an internship during my second year, which has subsequently enabled me to secure a position in accountancy.

I am eternally grateful for my three years at the University of Chester. The lecturers have been out there and experienced what it is like working on a number of events of different scales.

Without the University and lecturers, I wouldn’t be in the position I am today.

“One thing I like about studying here is the supportive nature of lecturers and staff in general. My tutors are always available to help me with my assignments and help me make the most of my time here in Chester. The modules on my course are diverse and engaging which has really enhanced my skills in the field of management and boosted my future career prospects.”

“It was the networking, development of skills, and building of knowledge that has made me who I am today: a confident, independent, thriving individual who will forever value the University’s support. I believe that without the University’s help I would not have been given as good as an opportunity in securing a job in my dream industry of Luxury Travel less than a month after completing my degree.”
