OVERALL UNIVERSITY RATING

Tell us about your overall university experience so far.

University experience has been brilliant so far. Its not a massive university campus unlike others but has a modern feel to it. The student union is a great place to hang out with friends and run events on a daily basis. The night life is good especially North Hill students bars. The houses that students can rent are of good quality and its cheap to live near uni eg. a 10 min walk about £90 a week inc bills is a lot cheaper than other cities in the country!

Job Prospects

How does your uni make efforts to increase your employability (careers department, work placements, transferable skills)?

Course and Lecturers

What do you like most and least about the way your course(s) are taught?

Like - that its flexible and you can tailor it to your own learning style. The course is mainly taught online with podcasts and readings to complete each week and is 100% coursework based so no exams! The symposium events are really interesting with guest speakers talking about their current research field too within the world of criminology. Dislike - that the contact hours are so little with only 3 symposium events a year so a total of 6 days in university learning, it takes abit of getting used to but is great for those who live further away and have other commitments such as family/work etc to be able to gain a masters qualification around this.

How many contact hours per week do you have?

1

Students' Union

What do you think of your Students' Union in terms of student representation and facilities?

very good

Uni Facilities

How good are your university's facilities?

Library and campus food outlets are very good

Local life

Is your university in a good location in terms of distance to accommodation and local amenities?

Great!

Societies and Sports

How would you rate the variety of societies/sports?

A great choice of over 120 clubs and socities

Student Support

How good is the support offered by the uni? Think both academic (tutors/feedback) and personal (counselling, etc).

Very good the support offered and its pointed out regularly where to go for this support

I am a third year and have really enjoyed my time at university, although I do feel like we are getting a lot less than we pay for....
