About University of Chester

The University of Chester has real history: it opened in 1839 as the first purpose-built teacher-training college in the whole of England. It became a full university in 2005 and now teaches around 14,000 students in one of the country's prettiest cities, a Roman walled town in the north-west.

Chester is best known for education, nursing, health studies and its 2024 award-winning business school. Learning here is mostly practical, with placements and a TEF Silver award behind it. Above all, Chester is known for looking after its international students.
