An introduction to your School

Welcome to the Chester School of Education my name is Associate Professor David Cumberland. I oversee specific divisions within a faculty, overseeing academic programmes to ensure high-quality education and research.

During Welcome Week, you will have the opportunity to meet your peers, faculty members, and support staff. This week is also designed to introduce you to the resources and support available to you throughout your studies. In the meantime, if you have any questions about your programme of study, please feel free to contact ahswelcomeconnect@chester.ac.uk.

After enrolling on your modules, you should receive a timetable centrally (available via the university app), but please don't hesitate to contact us if you have questions or the timetable is not clear.
