Engineering Access or Foundation courses in Southern England

The best part of my university experience has been the learning environment and independence. I’ve had access to good facilities, knowledgeable tutors, and projects that push me to think critically and work in a more professional way, especially through practical and design-based assignments. University has also helped me develop discipline, self-management, and confidence in my own ideas. Being surrounded by people from different backgrounds has broadened how I think, both academically and personally.

The lectures in my course are very helpful and always get back to you when you have questions. We have good weeks timetabling where we have online lessons and in person and we start at a nice time as well which gives people time to travel. Our lectures give us PowerPoints which we can also look at when at home for more revision. The university is big and is a couple bus stops from train stations which is helpful as well. There is lots of places to get food and they have a wide variety of things.

Living in the UWE Student Village has been a really good experience overall. The location is excellent, right on the Frenchay campus, which makes it easy to get to lectures and other university facilities. The flats have a friendly and social atmosphere, making it a great place to meet new people, especially in my first year. The rooms are a good size, and the accommodation feels safe and well-managed. The only downside is that the internet connection can be slow during busy times.
