Student Reviews for University of Chichester

Student satisfaction:
4.7 (based on 366 student reviews)

“I finished a Master’s degree here last year and I can only recommend this university. Students are given the help and support they need, the lecturers are very well qualified in their fields of expertise, and to top it off the students are almost as helpful as the lecturers are. Last of all, the class sizes were small enough so that you didn’t feel like just another number, but an individual.”
