Here's how we'll make your move as smooth as possible

To help make your transfer to the University of Chester a smooth and swift process, we’ll ensure that everything you need is in place prior to enrolling. Here’s how it works:

  1. Apply now or request a call-back

    If you know you want to apply to Chester, simply see the section below to see how you can apply now. If you’re unsure about anything or would like to discuss your circumstances, then complete the registration form and we’ll call you back to discuss your options.

  2. Application

    Once you have applied, the team will consider your application and whether we can make you an offer. At this point, we’ll make it clear at which level we are offering you a place and when we anticipate you starting on the course.

  3. Transition

    The team will also help you with all the practicalities of moving to a new university: getting your accommodation sorted; organising a personalised induction programme for you; checking whether you have any welfare requirements; etc. This should help take some of the stress out of your switch to the University.
