About Us

We aim to stand out through our authentic culture and measurable initiatives, embedding ‘The Citizen Student’ in all aspects of University life.

Students are supported to access a breadth of opportunities – before arrival to help their transition to university, on their course and beyond graduation.

They will develop flexibility in their career path by experiencing work-based placements and inter-disciplinary research. The curriculum enables the development of subject expertise, digital skills, data competencies and the application of these in the wider world. Sustainability, resilience and personal development are integral to their experience with Chester.

The University creates a strong sense of belonging through the tradition of volunteering and citizenship. Both students and staff develop their potential to influence and lead in their subject areas and wider society, and our comprehensive alumni offer is an opportunity for lifelong learning and engagement.
