Vice-Chancellor's Welcome

I hope that you will enjoy finding out more about the University of Chichester via our website. Having participated in the annual graduation ceremonies, I was hugely impressed once more, as I watched our students receive their degrees, by the wonderful community that we have at this University; a community renowned for its friendliness and its mutual support.

I have been reading the feedback we received from our students in the 2009 National Student Survey. One of them captured the mood I witnessed at the graduations, and summed up the feedback to the survey from many of the students, when she wrote about her experience here: ‘Life changing. I gained inspiration. A love for new things. Confidence. Self-belief.’

At the University of Chichester we take great pride in the rich learning experience we offer our students. This is also a place where supporting our students as they leave us to secure fulfilling jobs that use their graduate skills is enormously important to us. We are, therefore, very proud that the latest national data shows that over 94 per cent of our students were in employment/further study within six months of graduation.

I hope you will come and find out more about us and experience our community for yourself. You will be made very welcome.

Acting Vice-Chancellor
