History, Affiliations and Rankings

Established in 1839, the University of Chichester is a public institution situated in West Sussex, England. In 1873, the university became an educational institute for women teachers due to the activism of Louisa Hubbard when the Elementary Education Act 1870 was enacted, which created a demand for school teachers. Men were not enrolled at the College in 1957. With its humble beginnings as a College for training schoolmasters to becoming an indispensable institution for meeting the severe shortage of teachers in the aftermath of the Second World War, the College initially awarded degrees under the banner of the University of Sussex and Southampton University. It gained degree-awarding powers in 1999, which was also when the College’s name changed to University College Chichester. In 2005, the Privy Council approved the name as the University of Chichester. The University has academic affiliations with Cathedrals Group and Universities UK (UUK).
