The University of Chichester traces its history to 1839, when Bishop Otter College was founded by William Otter, Bishop of Chichester. After a series of institutional changes, it was granted full university status in 2005, and it is a member of the Cathedrals Group of universities. The university has two main campuses in West Sussex: one in the cathedral city of Chichester, next to Chichester Festival Theatre, and a seaside campus in Bognor Regis, set around Georgian mansion houses. It also has an associate commercial music campus on the Isle of Wight.
With around 6,000 students, Chichester offers a smaller, community-focused setting. It is well known for sport, musical theatre and acting, education and teacher training, and the humanities. Recent investment includes a Tech Park, opened in 2018, which houses creative industries, engineering, computing and mathematics, and a dedicated building for nursing and allied health, completed in 2021.
Information for International Students
The University of Chichester has a dedicated international team, including International Student Advisers who support students before and after arrival through pre-arrival information, an International Orientation programme and guidance on academic, language, housing and employment matters. Visa and immigration advice is available for students applying for a Student visa. The typical English language requirement is IELTS 6.0 overall with at least 5.5 in each component for undergraduate courses, and IELTS 6.5 overall for postgraduate study, with higher levels for health and social work programmes.
Students who need to improve their English can take the university's online pre-sessional programme, offered in five-week and eight-week formats. The university runs its own Level 4 International Route, which combines first-year degree study in business or psychology with a credited module in Global English Communication, and an International Pre-Master's Programme delivered on campus or online. Chichester does not run its own international foundation year but accepts foundation qualifications from a range of approved providers. International Top-Up degrees are available for holders of HNDs or associate degrees. First-year students are guaranteed a room in halls if they firmly accept their place and apply by the deadline.

Frequently Asked Questions
UK universities typically require international students who are under 18 when they enrol to have a UK-based nominated guardian in place. The guardian acts on behalf of the parents while the student is a minor, serving as the university's point of contact in an emergency, supporting the student's welfare and providing a trusted adult close by. British Guardianship provides this as a fully accredited university guardianship service.
We have guardians available and ready to be assigned. The overall timeframe depends on how quickly the required paperwork is completed and communication with University of Chichester is finalised. As every case is different, timelines can vary, but we aim to make the process as smooth and efficient as possible.
Our UK university guardianship services for University of Chichester start from £250 per term. We also offer premium and bespoke packages, and with our flexible guardianship services you only pay for the services you need. Full details are on our guardianship fees page.
No. Once your child turns 18, the nominated guardian requirement no longer applies and guardianship services are no longer needed. This is why our university guardianship is priced per term, so you only pay until your child's 18th birthday.
A UK student guardian must be a responsible adult, usually aged 25 or over, who lives permanently in the UK, speaks fluent English and is close enough to respond quickly in an emergency. The guardian must be contactable 24 hours a day, act as the university's emergency contact until the student turns 18, and hold an Enhanced DBS check where they or their household host the student. University of Chichester may also ask for the guardian's details at enrolment and set additional requirements of its own. As an AEGIS-accredited guardianship provider, British Guardianship meets these requirements on your behalf, with vetted guardians, Enhanced DBS checked host families and 24-hour emergency support.
