MSc Health Services Management - Batch of 2025

University of Chester Review

Tips: Do proper research before joining any course and also about the job opportunities after you finish the course. Contact the alumni from your specific course and seek guidance and advice. I was happy with my course, and I am currently working in the healthcare industry here.

Likes (Public transportation): Public transportation is very convenient and accessible to everyone. And it is very affordable too with student discounts. I would recommend using public transportation for the initial few years, as it can save you a lot of money. There are plenty of student discount offers too.

Dislikes (Part time work): There are very few on-campus job opportunities for part-time, but there are plenty of off-campus jobs too. One can manage academics and a job easily. The average payout is quite good, as students don't pay any tax, but we can only work for 20 hours a week. And it is more than enough to support your needs.

A Great Experience That I Will Always Remember

Tips: My biggest piece of advice before coming to Chester is to drop any fixed expectations and just take things as they come. Don't stress yourself out trying to force instant friendships during Welcome Week or planning out every single outcome—let your uni routine and social circle develop naturally. Take time to enjoy the small everyday moments, whether that's hanging out by the River Dee or exploring the city with housemates. Some of your absolute best memories here will come from just going with the flow.

Likes (Public transportation): I gave public transport a 5/5 because getting around Chester and traveling to nearby cities like Liverpool or Manchester is completely hassle-free. The main Exton Park campus and city sites like Wheeler are easily connected by local Stagecoach and Arriva buses, and Chester Railway Station is just a short walk or quick bus ride away. As a student, having frequent, affordable bus lines and easy train links right on your doorstep makes daily commuting and weekend trips super convenient.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I gave permanent immigration a 3/5 because settling in the UK long-term after Chester is a tough, competitive process. While the 2-year Graduate Route visa buys you time to work after finishing your degree, transitioning to a sponsored Skilled Worker visa has gotten much harder with high salary thresholds and shifting Home Office rules. I’d love to stay in the UK permanently for the work culture and quality of life, but getting sponsorship from an employer to eventually hit that 5-year ILR threshold is far from guaranteed.

The kind of experience every international student has

Tips: I loved studying at this university. Every day was a learning experience. The people around were good, the lecturers were very supportive, and I made some really good friends. How I studied back home and what this university offered were completely different. Assignments are online, and the marking system is too. I was granted a scholarship and an IELTS waiver, as my English scores were above 80, which genuinely helped me save money on tuition fees and IELTS. There is a lot of support that is offered, such as well-being, education, and career. You could carry a lot from this university!

Likes (Indian Food): The university canteen has several options to pick from. There were several dishes from my home country, such as butter chicken and rice, and a lot to pick from. These gave me a touch of home. And the portion sizes were not a complaint. The prices are reasonable, and there is nothing to complain about.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): Though the UK job market is difficult, the support available to secure a sponsored job is really limited. From my personal experience, generic advice is provided, and CV tricks and tips are provided, but nothing specific to what I was pursuing. These are helpful, but I wish extra support or some kind of placement had been provided.

U.K. is Difficult for International Students

Tips: It was a huge cultural shift, as there were fewer Asians compared to now coming to study in the U.K. Chester is a lovely place. Scholarships: I was a self-funded student and paid £13,860 per academic year (2018-2023). I had secured scholarships from India and got about £2000 scholarship towards my PhD tuition fees (which isn’t available now) With regards to my PhD research, it was independent work with no lectures or classes. My supervisor was very supportive throughout my PhD. In terms of the MSc taught course, I find it very challenging, as there are no good lecturers in the university for a few courses.

Likes (Public transportation): Honestly, traveling out of Chester is incredibly easy, mostly because the train station is so well connected. You can just hop on a direct train and be in Liverpool or Manchester in no time or easily head down to London and over into Wales without dealing with a million transfers. You can even catch trains straight up to Scotland or through the Midlands without a massive hassle. For getting around the city itself, the local buses are a decent shout. They have a good variety of routes that cover the main areas, even if they don't always run as late as you’d want them to on certain nights. If the buses aren't running, you can always rely on the local private taxi companies around town. Uber is also widely available here and super reliable when you're stuck, though the pricing can be a bit all over the place depending on the day and the time you're booking. If you're heading out on a weekend, just be ready for those surge prices, but you'll at least always find a ride.

Dislikes (Internships): I gave Chester a low score for internships and job prospects because the university is honestly a massive letdown when it comes to the biotech sector. Since Chester operates heavily as a teaching university rather than a proper, high-output research hub, the laboratory equipment is seriously lacking, which ends up severely limiting the actual hands-on, practical experience you can get. If you’re trying to build strong connections with the biotechnology industry, you’re basically on your own because the uni's network just isn't there. As a student, my biggest frustration was how they treat their own postgraduate researchers. I came in expecting far more support when it came to stepping into internal academic jobs or post-doc roles after finishing. Instead, the university consistently overlooks its own PGR students and openly prefers hiring outsiders. They basically treat international grads like a visa hassle they don't want to deal with. It sucks because you’re completely left to fend for yourself right when you need that first breakthrough in academia.

Is a supportive university with a great learning in a safe student city.

Tips: Before joining, students should be prepared for an individual learning environment where time management is very important. I recommend students actively use universities' career services and start applying for internships and graduate opportunities early. Chester is a safe and beautiful city, making it comfortable for the international students to live in.

Likes (Safety): I felt very safe throughout my time studying in Chester. The campus had good security measures and CCTV, well-lit pathways, and support services for students. The city itself is peaceful, and I never had any major safety concerns while travelling or returning home, even in the evenings. People were generally friendly and helpful which made settling into a new country much easier.

Dislikes (Internships): The university provided some guidance through the career team and job portal; finding an internship or apprenticeship in my field still required individual effort. There are limited opportunities specifically related to genetics and laboratory science, and competition is high. I would have appreciated more industry partnerships, networking events and dedicated support for international students looking for relevant internships.
