"As the largest employer in West Sussex, West Sussex County Council has a long history of fruitful collaboration with the University of Chichester.

We employ many of its graduates in an enormous range of jobs from teachers to social work and social care professionals to the County's dance specialist!

We have great faith in the quality of the education the University's students receive. We are also delighted when Chichester graduates decide to continue to live and work in West Sussex”.

Mark Hammond
Chief Executive of West Sussex County Council

“The University of Chichester is supportive of students studying on their programmes which are delivered at The Isle of Wight College. University and College lecturers work together to ensure that higher education students achieve their programmes of study, as well as having the opportunity to continue on to the next level of study.

Working with the University of Chichester has enabled us to deliver higher education programmes which meet the highest quality assurance standards for programme delivery and management.

The University has been responsive to both the Island’s and the College’s needs and works with us in the development of our higher education provision.”

“The Diploma in Strategic Leadership took me on a journey, from doing a good job day-to-day job as a service manager, working within my comfort zone, to where I am now. It was hard work at times but we also had fun, and it opened my eyes to new possibilities and new ways of thinking. It just makes you realise that you have more to offer than you think…oh, and the bit of paper at the end is nice too!”
