University of Chester

The course was well thought out. Gives out a wide knowledge of the course and field. Covers the most important aspect of the industry. The thing I liked was that it was general and not specific that helps you keep an open mind of the industry. I would suggest the course to my knowns who want to gain the knowledge of the industry.

Over the two years that I’ve spent in this university so far, I’ve had so many great experiences from joining societies and being student ambassador to meeting people of different ethnicities and cultural backgrounds. The one thing that has stuck in my head about my initial impression of the university is how eager to help each other and students the members of staff and older students are. There wasn’t a moment when I had a problem and there was no one out there that couldn’t give me a helping hand, especially since during these two years I have been studying in three different campuses/departments (the Main Campus, the Queens Park Campus and the Centre for Foundation Studies). However, studying with international students I have noticed that the university does not provide enough in class support to the international students therefore the overall lecture/seminar experience is confusing for them due to the language barrier. However, with supporting classmates this error can be easily overcome, but the university doesn’t need to rely on its students to teach the concepts as it is the lecturers' duties, hence, this could have been improved. Overall, I would recommend my university. It’s a great institution that facilitates us students fully and provides us with many opportunities to educate and improve ourselves.

Generally a good univeristy very conveinient as you can walk pretty much everywhere. To add the people are very friendly and the living costs are not as bad. However, I did realise that there was a lack of diveristy as well as International student presence.

As a BA student, I can only comment on the arts department, which I found to be disappointing. The campus itself is fine and most of the halls are up to a decent standard. Avoid Whites diner like the plague and if you’re allocated Alexandra house as your halls give it until after freshers then put in to move halls as it’s the worst on campus.
