• The time it takes to secure a job after graduation really depends on the individual. For me, it took about six months to land my current role at Lloyds Banking Group. While this timeline is typical for many students, the process can vary based on factors like industry, experience, and persistence in applying.

• I stayed in private student accommodation, which was a great experience.
• I had an ensuite room, and the facilities were well-maintained and comfortable. The cost was around £9,000 per year, which I found reasonable given the quality of the accommodation and the convenience it offered. It provided a good balance of privacy and access to communal spaces, making it ideal for my student life.
• My campus was 15 mins walking distance.

There are placement help and internships within the university.

I chose this university as the fees were less compared to other universities as its in outer London, the living was affordable and it has good scholarships moreover Chester is an ancient-modern university.

There is no placement for my program. But people get good job offers at NHS. My program is IBMS-accredited.

The primary reason for studying here is the great faculty. The exceptional infrastructure has driven me to accept my admission here. It has been a great experience so far and I am satisfied with my decision.

Since I have just joined the college I have no experience on that but there is a separate support department called career and employability which helps students to define their path and placement based of their course.

This was one of the two university in UK that delivered my desired course and the module in this university matched my interest. Also this university is located in a quite small town which was ideally my location of choice.

I liked the look of it and it is good for Psychology. It is one of the best in the country for this degree. It is also BPS accredited which was an important factor. I like Chester as a city because it is small but big enough.
