overview
We bring Business and Management to life with inspiring and real experiences. As student Freya Brewis says: "The programmes content will provide the foundation of knowledge required for success in the business world...it provides the tools for you to stand out from every other student and to develop your understanding further.”
It’s a really competitive world in business today. We will equip you with much more than business knowledge. Your future employers are seeking skills that we develop with you. This means you leave us with experiences that should give you an edge at interview and in the workplace. We develop outstanding business professionals so that you, like Freya, can progress to a great career.
Here at Chester you can tailor your business management degree to suit your career. The four pathways are: Business Management (Entrepreneurship), Business Management (Human Resources), Business Management (Marketing) or Business Management (Finance).
We are accredited by the Institute of Leadership and Management (ILM), the UKs top leadership and management qualifications specialist. This means that all students can achieve the ILM level 5 Award alongside their degree.
Students from countries outside the UK are expected to have entry qualifications roughly equivalent to UK A Level for undergraduate study and British Bachelor's degree (or equivalent) for postgraduate study. To help you to interpret these equivalents, please click on your country of residence to see the corresponding entry qualifications, along with information about your local representatives, events, information and contacts.
We accept a wide range of qualifications and consider all applications individually on merit. We may also take into account appropriate work experience.

My name is Kavisha Prince Anthony, and I always had a dream of studying abroad. Thankfully, that dream came to life since I applied to the Study Advisor. I was able to receive my visa within four days. I also had some visa refusals in the past; I had about six UK visa refusals in the past, but thankfully, it was not an issue since the Study Advisor was able to make things work this time. I highly recommend Study Advisor for your dreams of going abroad, whether it be the UK or any other European country there is.
