University of Chichester

The University of Chichester is a uniquely distinctive institution, with a rich heritage and a
strong commitment to the success of our students and staff. The only university in West
Sussex, we are proud to be a university that is both deeply rooted in our region and
connected to the wider world.

Across our two campuses in Chichester and Bognor Regis, we nurture a vibrant academic
environment where students are encouraged to thrive and succeed. Our ethos is one of
openness, excellence, collaboration and care; a place where every student is known as an
individual, and where staff are valued and supported to achieve their very best.
