Avoid Primary Ed at University of Chester

Anyone planning to do primary ed at Chester think again. You’re honestly better off elsewhere. All they care about is numbers and if you fail or are struggling they won’t help as deferral is extra numbers and money for them. They will also ‘bully’ you into going to a school which is miles away (mine is 50 miles away), they’re happy to advise you on the quickest router ( I walk, take train, then taxi) and don’t care about the added pressure this will cause as it is within their 90 min travel time bracket (just) Well-being and mental health is a thing to the university but not the director of the course. She is prepared to ignore a professionals advice because eti her the placement ticks all the right boxes despite it being a mental health concern. Being a 3rd year student working through the pandemic at extremely difficult times you expect better. Don’t waste your energy and money here!

Thank you for sharing. Is this mainly department specific? How do you find the administration and support at Chester University?
