Being from ipswich, the uni is probably one of the best things in this town, it has great facilities and the support staff is amazing and super helpful, I would reccomend

The course has been really good so far, I'm really enjoying it

It has really good rooms, loads of space and very open. The walls are thick so you don't hear your neighbours

I like the location of the university because it’s close to where I live so it’s easy to commute to either by bus or walking. It is near the waterfront so is a very pretty place to study; it is also close to town (around a 10-15 minute walk) so anything you need isn’t hard to get to! I like the facilities at the university for example the labs and lecture rooms - as well as classes aren’t incredibly massive so it’s good for anyone that prefers a more personal approach to learning and doesn’t want lecture theatres full of people. You feel as if you can speak to your lecturers on a more personal level. The university also has great learning spaces and multiple areas where you can study; for example there are places where you can sit and do work in quiet at the library or at the student run coffee shop. The university also contains many social spaces like their own cafe with live music and events, as well as a restaurant. Alongside this, the approach to learning is block learning so you can focus on one topic rather than juggling multiple at once and this is an excellent way to learn effectively. I enjoy the online learning space used because it is easy to navigate and means everything you need to know is contained in one place. One thing that I think could be done to improve is more support on how students that don’t live on campus can be more involved in student life. Or, more one to one sessions with lecturers when available.

The course is pretty much all on campus. There are some parts of the module that were needed to be done independently at home but mainly you are in seminars or lecture rooms. This is a positive in some aspects because you have the lecturer there available. Classes aren’t massive so it feels more open to discussion and is more personal. All lectures and seminars are recorded to can easily be viewed online as well as all PowerPoints and content are available online. There are even reading lists available on the online library to reserve so everything you need is there ready for you. The course hours are manageable and are all set out at the beginning of your course so you know what to expect. I do believe there could be more scheduled times for one to one sessions with lecturers. As well as this, I have found some people that I know doing same or similar courses seem to have more content, which can be a positive as well as a negative for future careers.
