Moving to a new country and starting university is a huge experience - and it’s completely normal to have questions or need a little extra support while you settle in...That’s why Support Week is here!

Throughout the week, you’ll have opportunities to meet the teams who can support you during your time at the University, find out what help is available and get answers to any questions you might have.

Whether you’re still getting used to life in the UK, looking for support with your studies, wondering about money and finances, need someone to talk to, or simply aren’t sure where to go for help - you don’t have to figure it all out alone. ❤️

Come along to our Support Fair to meet our support teams, ask questions, discover the services available to you (and pick up some freebies along the way):

📅 Wednesday 14th October (tomorrow)
⏰ 11am – 3pm
📍 Small Hall, Exton Park

You can also find out more about the full programme of Support Week events here: https://www.chester.ac.uk/welcome/events
