Hi Sarah.
I have received Skype Interview Invitation today which is scheduled on 12th November. Is it possible to re-schedule to this week?

I am really worried, because on the website, it says last date for deposit for Feb 2022 intake is 8th November. And I have still didn’t get offer letter.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I have emailed to International Department several times, but there is no response. I got an automated reply from UoC, “If you have applied for a January or February start course but have not received an offer from us by the end of the day on Friday 31st October 2021, please note that your application will unfortunately not be considered for entry this intake”.

I am writing this email to ask for your help now. I'm reaching out to you after already waiting for 4 weeks on my application. I have received Skype Interview Invitation which is scheduled on 12th November. I am really worried, because I have still not issued offer letter. I request you to please re-schedule my Skype Interview before 31st October, and accelerate the processing time of my application so that offer letter is issued on or before 31st October, so that I can deposit my fees before the last date or is it possible to deposit fees before the offer letter is issued? At any cost, I can't afford to lose this opportunity for February 2022 intake.

I am deeply upset that I have still not issued offer letter. This is really disheartening because I am very keen to get admission in February 2022 intake of this university. I worked really hard to fulfill my application requirements at the University of Chester and submitted a perfect application. For me, studying at UoC is once in a lifetime opportunity and it will have an immense impact on my career. I hope you will understand my situation.

I would greatly appreciate it if I could receive any kind of support from the International team of the university in this regard. Eagerly waiting to hear from you.

Regards,

Hi @mohifatima,

Thank you so much Sarah.
I have got unconditional offer letter and I have paid my deposit fees of £3000 as well. Now I am in the process of CAS.


I will be coming there with my spouse. So we will be applying visa together. I understand for visa application we need to show total funds (remaining tuition fees, my maintenance costs, my husband’s maintenance costs) available in our accounts for 28 days.

We need to show something around £22,300
( Remaining tuition fees -£7000,
My maintenance costs - £9207
My husband maintenance costs - £6120)

But my query is, for CAS as well do we need to show total funds or is it fine to exclude husband’s maintenance costs just for CAS?

I don’t mind showing all funds, in fact I have extra £6000 in my accounts. Total around £28000. But 28 day rule is completing on 22nd November. And last date to request CAS is 19th November. Can I request CAS by showing funds for 20 days? I promise to send financial documents again after 28 day completes in bank on 22nd November 2021.

Hi we went to the open day with the youngest daughter (she starts uni in 2023) and loves Chester. Accommodation she would prefer mixed sex self catering, and there was not that option on campus from what I can see. Are there self catering accommodation that a lot of first years tend to go to? example like Abbeygate/Hollybank?

That's great to hear that she loves Chester. We do have a number of accommodation options, this includes self-catered en-suite residences like Hollybank. We have a 360 tour of Hollybank which you may find useful. Abbeygate is operated by one of our Private Partners Fresh Student Living. As Chester is quite a compact city and it doesn't take long to walk between the Parkgate Road site and the city centre, it doesn't tend to matter whether first year students stay on or off campus. There isn't a particular preference on the actual halls of residence as University owned accommodation is only for first year students anyway.

Sarah

Thanks Sarah. So when making a decision about accommodation, how many choices can you put down? Ive seen some unis that have as many as seven, or like her eldest sister her uni had 2 choices.
