Student Stories

'I cannot thank the Department of History and Archaeology at the University of Chester enough for all that they have done for me educationally, practically and emotionally throughout my degree!'

'A training process that ... laid the solid foundation of my own career a professional archaeologist.'

A History degree is not just simply reading about ‘the past’, it’s about learning, understanding and respecting peoples’ opinions.

'I absolutely loved my time studying History and Journalism at the University of Chester.'

'Chester provided me with academic confidence in my own ideas as well as discussing my passions and carrying out independent research.'

I enjoyed the opportunity to study the breadth (or sweep) of history offered by Chester which is fairly unique.

The history programme at Chester has skills embedded throughout the course and I particularly benefitted from the support of my tutors to develop my academic writing.

I chose to do my course because it offered the opportunity to improve and expand my theoretical knowledge whilst obtaining valuable practical experience.
