Hear From Our Students

Sabrina Norwood

BSc Psychology

"I chose to study in the UK to broaden my knowledge and cultural experiences. Chester has been perfect for that! I have had the opportunity to learn from very talented researchers and have been lucky enough to attend conferences and meet influential people in my field. Studying in such a welcoming place like Chester has helped me to grow not only as a student, but also as a person."
