The WUSCAs aim is to give recognition to outstanding higher education institutions and showcase those who go the extra mile to support students. It is unique in being the only higher education awards determined solely by student voice.
Professor Eunice Simmons, the University of Chester’s Vice-Chancellor, said her team was delighted that the university received three top awards, as well as:
“…the silver award for University of the Year, in addition to further top 10 placings. It is a tremendous honour to be recognised in this way by our students, and evidences the University’s commitment to the student experience despite the economic challenges the whole higher education sector is facing.”
