Student Stories

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.

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

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.

The year abroad and work placement were invaluable to me – they really gave me the chance to stand out and I have used the experiences I gained. 

I thoroughly enjoyed the course and found it to be enthralling from start to finish. I would like to thank my lecturers, who were always supportive and more than happy to go out of their way to offer help. I would also like to thank the incredible team at the Work Based Learning Department for everything during my work experience. It is a fantastic feeling knowing that the hard work has paid off and I have landed my dream job of working within Finance for Kerry, which is the start of more exciting times ahead.

It’s really about being open to learning – my experience of the University is that it’s very student-focused, which is a massive bonus for everyone who comes to learn here.

The modules on my course are diverse and engaging which has really enhanced my skills in the field of management and boosted my future career prospects.

The course taught me the technical skills, knowledge and mindset needed in finance today and more importantly, how to apply it all to real life circumstances, as well as giving me exam exemptions to develop qualifications further on.

The University’s reputation is what brought me to Chester to study. It’s a great city, and the lecturers were so warm and welcoming. They have really helped me get through the difficulties of learning with dyslexia, supporting me all the way.

Chester is a great place to study. You can really experience the true British culture and the support you receive from people here is tremendous.
