The University of Chichester is a thriving higher education institution which was recently recognised as
a one of the top­40 universities in the UK (Guardian University Guide 2024). Its origins trace back to
1839 when it was founded as a training college by William Otter, the Bishop of Chichester. Its students are also among the happiest in the UK, according to the National Student Survey (NSS) 2024 which rated it highly for student­ satisfaction.
