About
The University of Chichester aims to be a socially responsible university that is recognized internationally, significant nationally, important regionally, and vital locally - not only in teaching and student experience but also in research and in its diverse communities and the public, private and voluntary sectors. We aspire to be excellent in everything we do and in the services we offer.
The University of Chichester is a public university located in West Sussex, England, which became a university in 2005. It has its roots in Bishop Otter College which was established in 1839 as a memorial to William Otter, the first Principal of King's College London. Over the years, the college has changed significantly, expanding to become a training college for women in 1873 and accepting male students in 1957. During the Second World War, the college was evacuated due to the conflict and part of the campus was taken over by the RAF for the D-Day landings of 1944. Today, the university has two main campuses located in Chichester and Bognor Regis, as well as an associate campus for commercial music on the Isle of Wight.
