Hear more from our students’ experience of studying at the University of Chichester:
The degree sparked my interest in adventure therapy and exposed me to various adventure activities and the therapeutic benefits they present. I then did a master's degree in adapted sports. I am now an additional needs and disability support officer for SSAFA. I help deliver adaptive adventure sports with the Calvert Trust for wounded veterans and their families. I also offer disability advice to veterans. I wouldn't be where I am today without the outdoor and adventure education degree and the support of the lecturers.

I have had the best experience completing my teacher training at the University of Chichester. I have loved studying here due to the amazing lecturers and tutors who are so skilled and knowledgeable and who offer invaluable guidance and support. The resources and facilities at the university are excellent and there is an extensive variety of classroom resources that are so helpful both at university and out on placement.
