As a student of both UCM and University of Chester (our academic partner) you have the support of both institutions. You will receive an email from the University of Chester asking you to enrol online with them. Do this as soon as possible so you can access a lot of information referred to in this guide.
As a degree student you need to be aware of the Academic Regulations of our partner, the University of Chester, that you will be subject to. All universities have these regulations and they are there to ensure that all students are treated consistently and equitably - you’ll learn more about these in this guide and in your Programme Handbook.
We look forward to seeing you soon.
The UCM Team
