Chester University has been named among the best in the UK for job prospects and personal support.

Placed third in the UK in the category of personal tutors, the university also achieved tenth place for job prospects in the StudentCrowd University Awards 2025 - based entirely on student reviews.

Now for three years in a row, Chester has made the top ten in the category of personal tutors.

StudentCrowd is an online platform where every single one of the reviews has been left by a student who has studied, or is still studying at each university.

To compile the UK university rankings, StudentCrowd analysed 32,097 verified student reviews submitted on the platform between May 2023 and May 2025.

Vice-Chancellor of the University of Chester, professor Eunice Simmons, said: "This recognition is a credit to our personal tutors, our careers and employability team, our staff delivering industry-informed courses and everyone across our university offering support to help our students achieve their individual goals.

"Being based on our students' reviews, it means all the more to us." 

The University also recently received two gold awards for being the best university for International and Postgraduate students in this year's national Whatuni Student Choice Awards (WUSCAs).

Chester was named the best university in the North West, while also topping the regional rankings in the facilities, lecturers and teaching quality, and student support categories.
