University of Chester (reviews)

The university itself is lovely, the location is amazing and most of the university is great. However I will warn people that are thinking of going to this university that the student support and assignment aid is dreadful. I contacted student support multiple times are they did not help much at all. On top of this, and the worst experience for me by fair was my dissertation. To give an overview of the situation, I sent my proposal in early 2026 and had completed dissertation in may 2026. I did not approve of my grade, due to markers giving reasons for loosing marks such as not having tables, where I had 15 tables in my work, and many more vague reason for loosing marks. I contacted my supervisor for the dissertation for a discussion of my mark and he directed me to the head of the dissertation module, who emailed me saying I could not dispute my mark just because I didn’t agree with my grade, even though I said I believed it was a failure to follow their own policy, which was a valid reason for a remark. I was left completely in the dark, with no one bothered to help me. On top of this, I find out that a lecturer in my area of study stating that they would publish a piece of writing that was the exact same as my work. Overall, the university is a lovely place to be, but be prepared for the staff to not help you, and rather hinder you.

When I studied at Chester, I loved how close everything was if you were on the main campus. You were never far from the school, pubs or shops! The professors I had for law were very helpful and knowledgeable. I would recommend Chester.

The University of Chester offers a welcoming and supportive environment for students. The lecturers are approachable and knowledgeable, and the courses are well structured with a good balance of theory and practical learning. I also like the friendly campus community, affordable living costs, and the career support available through placements and employability services. While there is room for improvement in offering more specialized modules in some programs, I would recommend the university to students looking for a high-quality education in a supportive environment.

The way the courses at the Univeristy of Chester are laid out is perfect for students. In my course we only study two modules a term, and have assignments ( no exams ) for each module throughout each term. By the end of the term those modules are complete. It makes the course easier to pass.
