The University of Chester's coat of arms.

The arms were granted by the College of Arms in 1954 and were hand-drawn on vellum.

The grant reads:

Armorial Bearings Granted to the Chester Diocesan Training College:

Argent, on a cross gules a garb Or, in the first quarter in front of two swords in saltire proper, hilts and pomels gold, an open book also proper, clasped also gold. Crest: On a wreath of the colours, In front of two swords in saltire proper, hilts and pomels Or, a mitre of the last charged with a garb gules. Motto: Qui docet in doctrina.

Granted 5 July 1954

The Latin motto, qui docet in doctrina, can be translated literally as 'he that teacheth, on teaching' or loosely as 'let the teacher teach'.

A page on the University of Chester website, describes some of the features of the arms:

The golden wheatsheaf, which belongs to the Earldom of Chester, a title created in the Thirteenth Century and more recently held by the Heir to the British throne. Wheatsheaves appear on both the City of Chester and County of Cheshire coats of arms.
The clasped, open book as a symbol of learning.
The crossed swords, echoing the sword on the County of Cheshire coat of arms, which reflects the County motto: ‘By the law and dignity of the sword.’
The red cross, taken from the flag of St George of England.
The Bishop’s mitre, signifying the University’s historic roots, having been founded by the Church of England in 1839.
