About University of Chester

The University of Chester is one of England's oldest higher education institutions, tracing its roots to 1839, though it received university title only in 2005. Set in the historic walled city of Chester in the North West, it also has campuses in Shrewsbury, Warrington, and Birkenhead, extending its reach across the region.

The university is known for theology and religious studies, reflecting its Anglican foundation, alongside well-developed programmes in nursing and midwifery, business, sport, social work, and education. Its healthcare provision is closely tied to local NHS partners. Chester's historic environment and the university's community focus create a distinctive and supportive learning atmosphere.
