The institution/college, which would become the University of Chester, was founded in 1839 making Chester one of the longest-established higher education institutions in the country. The University has since gone from strength to strength and now welcomes students from 115 countries worldwide. At the heart of our vision is an unwavering commitment to an outstanding student learning experience, excellent teaching, and actively growing research and enterprise.
This is a critical point in our evolution as we seek to deliver our revised Citizen Student Strategy 2024-30. This includes exciting plans for a new academic framework and a comprehensive estates masterplan. The Chester Medical School also recently welcomed its first cohort of graduate entry medical students in Autumn 2024, and we have ambitious plans for a dynamic, place-shaping, partnership agenda.
