Chichester provides excellent opportunities for study at undergraduate and postgraduate levels and consistently sets very high academic standards. We have achieved particularly high scores in recent national inspections by government agencies such as the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA). In fact, our Media Studies degree was the only one in the country to achieve the maximum QAA score! In the QAA institutional audit conducted in 2003, we received the highest overall rating of 'broad confidence.'

Our success brings long-term benefits to our students. Statistics published by the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) rank us in the top 30 Universities and Higher Education Colleges for student retention and successful completion rates. We also have one of the best rates of graduate employment in the country.
