University of Chester’s Sanctuary Award

Supports students at risk

The University of Chester is proud to welcome people seeking sanctuary (asylum seekers and refugees) into our community, recognising the wealth of experience and knowledge they bring. The Universities of Sanctuary initiative currently engages with sanctuary seekers, and the wider university and local community in multiple activities. These include learning and teaching, student support, delivery of events such as UoC Refugee week, research projects, partnerships with community organisations and through the University of Chester’s Sanctuary Award.
