In the early part of the 19th century, there was considerable debate about the role of church and state in university education.
In 1828 students were accepted for the first secular of higher education, which allowed the two colleges university institution in the country, which later became to retain some of their traditions and identity. Initially, University College London. In response, it was felt that degrees were awarded by the Universities of Sussex London needed another university institution where and Southampton, but the Institute moved to a single the role of the Church would be formally recognised. degree awarding body, the Council for National In 1829 King's College London was established, with Academic Awards (CNAA) and then with the demise William Otter as its first Principal.

Male students were not introduced until 1957. In 1942, during the Second World War, students and staff of the College were evacuated to Stockwell College in Bromley and the RAF took over Bishop Otter College. Chichester played a crucial part in the D-Day landings of 1944, where one of the lecture rooms on the Bishop Otter campus became the Operations Room of RAF Tangmere, the nerve centre controlling squadrons of fighter planes involved in the D-Day landing.
The Bognor Regis College of Education was set up in 1946 as an emergency training college for men and women to meet the severe shortage of teachers after the war. It was located in a crescent of three beautiful Regency houses.
