The University is great in many respects and has been amazing for me throughout my undergrad and masters, all my lecturers have been supportive and great, whilst also facilitating my growth. I think one issue a lot of us students are seeing is how the University is focusing more on its appearance and money than students themselves, for example the fact the University has announced a huge new construction projects but there are buildings already at the University that look worn down and old, a bit like a facade. Additionally course programmes are not always specific about what they do precisely want from references as referencing systems themselves have different rules in them (e.g. Harvard allows for both listing out all the authors names or just the main author followed by et al in the reference list)

My course is very in depth and thought-provoking, containing a lot of information, and the course itself is one of the few UK universities that offers a masters that combined disaster management with national security. That being said, the course does seem to heavily focus on disaster management more than Intelligence or Security which I do think is a shame.

The facilities are new and work well, but the library roof is constantly leaking, meaning that buckets cover the floor of the library. The lecturers are dedicated and the free uni buses are an amazing feature of the university, meaning that I can get into uni easily.

The lecturers are dedicated and the content differs from courses in other universities. The marketing element is also beneficial. It is not the fault of the university, but the class size on my course is very small, so maybe there could be increased marketing for the English course to bring in more people. Each lecture is four hours which can feel long but the time is spent wisely, making sure you can learn as much as possible.

The Wi-Fi is atrocious, it constantly cuts out which makes teams calls with my lecturers very difficult. As there are no gates, anyone can walk onto site which can make it a bit dangerous. I was followed last year by someone on site and the security did deal with it efficiently and appropriately so that it a pro of PAC. It is the cheapest accommodation available, but the room is fairly sized and the en suite is good.
