Chichester is one of the UK’s oldest higher education institutions, but at just four years old, one of its youngest universities. Whether undergraduates experience Chichester's cathedral city or Bognor Regis’s beach, both campuses are compact enough to ensure close-knit communities. Chichester ranks 11th in the UK for student satisfaction. New degree courses this year include events management and psychology.
