University of Chichester

"I chose Chichester for many reasons, one of which was the nature of the campus - being rather small, you bump into friends all the time on your travels! I also love the SIZ and Learning Centre, as they provide a fantastic wealth of books and journals for any assignment I face. The lecturers on my course are all incredibly helpful and the friends I’ve made here are second to none. In all, I’d recommend Chichester to anyone!"

"Chichester University is very effective in preparing students to face real life; its teaching system encourages individual development by using real application projects in class. If you ever feel lost in any area, there is always a departament ready to help you cope with the issue, whether it is financial or personal. Chichester is more than an educational institution, it is a community you belong to from the moment you arrive."

At Open Days, we throw open our doors and welcome everyone to experience a day in the life of a vibrant community focused university. We've got live bands, a musical theatre showcase, dance classes, a theatre and acting workshop, sports lab sessions and sample lectures.

"I am working in China at an outdoor training company. I enjoy my work and life here in China, my course at Chichester provided me with skills and positive attitudes to work with people from different backgrounds. I hope to see more English graduates working abroad, and also more Chinese students can study sport at Chichester."

"Chichester is a lovely location, not much goes on and it becomes lively when the sun's out. What I like about studying here is that you feel connected with other people who study here. You'll find people similar to you and you all instantly become friends. When you arrive here, it can seem like another home to you, and your new friends are your new family."

"I’m glad I chose this university for its diversity. Thanks to the weekly events, you are able to make a lot of friends. Chichester University is a big family that is going to give you amazing memories that you are going to keep the rest of your life."

"I’ve enjoyed the hospitality I’ve received from my flatmates, the accommodation staff, and the locals. The atmosphere is quite peaceful and welcoming. Chichester is an underrated city with so much to offer its visitors. I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else!"

"I like studying here mostly because I'm chasing my dream to become a professional actor. I'm working very hard every day to achieve my goals. I'm enjoying every lesson I have and I'm doing everything with a lot of passion. I really believe that studying at Chichester is an amazing opportunity to make my dreams come true."

"I have really enjoyed my course and since being at the university my confidence level has really increased. The university has given me so many opportunities including working with West Sussex music, gaining experience working in schools and working with the West Sussex county youth orchestra. Plus, I have made some amazing friends and the time I have had here has been invaluable."

"As an exchange student, I feel very lucky to have the great opportunity to study at University of Chichester. This is a unique university in terms of its cultural and historical atmosphere. In addition, I think I am in the best place to improve myself and my imagination in every field of Language and Literature."

"I started working at Citibank Shanghai after I graduated from the University of Chichester. I will always miss the time I spent there! I flew to England to attend my graduation ceremony, which will be my precious memory forever."

"My master's course at Chichester is very intense with lots of touring around, but I learned so much from it. All the staff in the dance department are so great and helped me a lot. I am going to miss Chichester!"

"Chichester is a safe place to live and study. I like that the two campuses are not far from each other, so I can enjoy the events that take place in the other campus as well."

"I have to challenge myself every day and work hard to be the best, but it is worth it and at the end of the day you know it is all that matters. I like the options you have here, our music block with many pianos, where I can practise and work on my skills and at the same time there are many opportunities to do some extra activities, so you will not get bored at all."

"I’ve been here in Chichester for about two months now, and I have loved nearly every second of it! Everything about study abroad is just as hoped, but even better. I think Chichester is the perfect opportunity to learn more about the world, as well as myself. I would recommend this opportunity to anyone."

"I chose Chichester as it is a good match to my research area. There are so many activities and events on my research topics. I am so touched to see local people who are really into literature and enjoy reading."

"I chose Chichester to study Dance Research because the course gives me enough freedom to develop in the areas I am interested in. During my application time, I already got great support from the tutor of my course."

"When I did my foundation course in the UK, I was really inspired by some old people who played Jazz in the pubs, they were not professional performers but they enjoyed what they were doing. I loved that atmosphere. In that moment I decided to study Jazz in the UK. Chichester is one of the very few institutions that offer specialist Jazz courses, and I love their new music building."

"I was always interested in the English language and culture, so I am really pleased to have the opportunity to study at University of Chichester as an exchange student. I like the flexibility that I can complement my own major in tourism with media knowledge I am keen to grasp."

"I like the support I get at University of Chichester. It was fuss-free to find my accommodation that I share with my friends. It’s impossible to do that without being helped by the university."

"I've always been interested in theatre and performance. I have been learning tourism and hospitality in Japan, but I want to explore different areas of learning, and I hope I can have jobs in different areas in the future. I am pleased I can study theatre in Shakespeare’s country. Btw, I like the canteen food here."

"I like the British culture, football and many things here. I spent 5 years in England when I was in primary school. I am really pleased to have the opportunity to study at University of Chichester. I enjoy the small classes and I get great support from my tutors."
