University of Chester
The University of Chester is one of the oldest providers
of higher education in the country, with our academic roots stretching
back to the early 19th century. Founded in 1839 by a group of prominent
local figures, which included Britain’s greatest 19th century Prime
Minister, William Gladstone, we pre-date all but a handful of other
English universities.
However,at Chester, change is as important as tradition. During our 168-year
history, our fundamental mission of educating students for careers of
service has continued to evolve and develop, and we have established a
broad range of degree choices, which offer our students a high quality
experience in a modern and supportive environment.
The University has two campuses, set approximately 25 miles apart,
connected by a free shuttle bus service. Our Chester campus is the
primary location of undergraduate teaching for a broad range of courses
in the Humanities, Social Sciences, Applied Sciences, the Arts, Teacher
Training, Nursing, Midwifery and Law, while our Warrington campus is
the main site for the thriving courses that address the need for well
trained graduates in a variety of vocational areas. Home of the North
West Media Centre, Warrington is a leader in the provision of modern
media degree courses, such as TV and Radio Production, Commercial Music
Production, Film Studies and Advertising. Courses in Computer Science,
Business, Journalism, Sport, Graphic Design and Nursing are available
on both campuses.
