Student Stories

Chester Business School has a great team of business experts and a world-class environment with high employability rates. There are also a large number of learning resources available for me to learn, develop and improve.

I have found that all facilities I have needed have always been available and the staff on my course are one of my favourite aspects of this course. Everyone is so friendly, and my PAT has always been there to help me progress.

This course has already changed my future. I started applying for marketing jobs towards the end of the programme. I am proud to have recently started my new role as a digital media assistant at Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board, NHS.

The course is incredibly varied and gives a great understanding of the many facets of business, what considerations are needed as a manager and how these areas all interconnect.

My degree helped me prepare for my role as it gave me a well rounded view of business, teaching us about subjects including law, marketing and project management alongside core accounting

I was undecided between the MSc and MBA, but the lecturers at Chester swung it for me as they were so approachable and didn’t make me feel pressured into choosing Chester. 

The Accounting and Finance course at University of Chester doesn't just teach you how to be an accountant, it teaches you how to become a business leader with accounting knowledge.

Accounting and Finance at Chester gave me a solid foundation to progress in a career in finance, not only with the specific modules but also in the softer skills. There is a family atmosphere at the Business School and the lecturers care about the individuals and deliver lectures in smaller seminars, allowing us to easily ask questions and further develop our understanding of the subjects.

My University of Chester Events Management BA (Hons) degree is the reason why I have secured my dream job of Event and Social Media Manager at the British Racing Driversʻ Club at the age of just 24 years old.

All the lecturers were there to support me throughout my degree and always around to help out if I needed them

It was the networking, development of skills, and building of knowledge that has made me who I am today

Make the most out of it. Join societies, learn a language, work somewhere you wouldn’t have thought you could. Push boundaries and never stop learning.
