What students say about engineering-and-technology

Southampton Solent University is an overall great place for students to study, offering excellent facilities, supportive staff, and a diverse learning environment. The university provides a practical approach to education, ensuring students gain real-world experience alongside their academic studies. However, student life could be enhanced by offering more social events, parties, and get-togethers. These activities would help students connect, build friendships, and create a stronger sense of community on campus. With a livelier student social scene, Solent University would become an even more enjoyable and well-rounded place to study.

What students say about engineering-and-technology

Best is the people and the quality of the education, worst has to deal with who runs UCL, administration has quite a few dirtbags. Facilitates aren't the greatest. I prefer more of a traditional campus feel and prefer KCL and LSE campus. Still considering coming back to UCL to apply for a LLM, alongside the other London unis, and maybe throw my shot at oxbridge.

What students say about engineering-and-technology

The campus is massive, has a lot of facilities. The technology used is never old, especially the computers which run really smoothly compared to other unis/colleges. Library is an amazing source and place to study. Time to travel to university is a bit of a hassle though, and a lot of the students seem less serious.

UWE Bristol's International College - Kaplan UK

11 engineering-and-technology courses SOUTH WEST ENGLAND
University image
What students say about engineering-and-technology

Studying at UWE Bristol feels like being part of a dynamic laboratory of ideas, where theory meets practice in an inspiring and international environment. The courses are highly applied, with a strong focus on sustainability and innovation. The Frenchay Campus is modern and well-organized, offering excellent study spaces, cutting-edge facilities, and a vibrant student community. One of the university’s greatest strengths is its strong industry connections, providing students with valuable networking opportunities and hands-on experiences. The lecturers are passionate and supportive, encouraging critical thinking and independent research. The emphasis on real-world challenges—especially in fields like urban regeneration and sustainable mobility—makes learning truly impactful. That said, there’s always room for improvement. Transport links to the city could be more efficient, especially for those with early flights (as I’ve personally discovered!). More late-night campus services and better connections to Bristol Airport would make student life even easier. Overall, UWE Bristol is an exciting and forward-thinking university that equips students with the skills and knowledge to shape the future. Highly recommended for anyone passionate about making a difference!
