Sports & Leisure degrees

I think there are a lot of resources available lately and even support for international student but I think they could be more facilities to study such as study rooms, more pods available And also more student events!!

i have come back into education after 2 years and the college has supported me through my foundation degree. it has given me that confidence and being able to believe in myself and do the best of my ability.

Best aspects would definitely be the people and the location. By the beach but with safe and lively night life, which in my opinion is important for most undergrad students, also the welsh are lovely and friendly. It depends on the area but overall the city feels extremely safe which was important for me. Some of the buildings on the old campus (singleton) look a bit run-down especially when the sun isn't out so it might be worth them revamping some buildings to make certain parts look less depressing. But again thats only a few, and the walk to campus is lovely especially as theres a massive park/green space right next to campus, with a 2 minute detour taking you right to the beach. Can't say too much on the students' union because it looks good but i havent really engaged with it. They always have some sort of event going on but honestly i havent been to many, so maybe the events could be more engaging so more people including myself would go.

Limited amount of shops in Lincoln, which makes it get a bit stale quick, but is still a lovely city with plenty of things to do. Another downside is the fact it is in the middle of nowhere, you have to get trains or coaches if you want to go anywhere else. However, it does have everything you need as a student, with a good night out as well

The best aspects are the student union and the facilities available. I think it could be improved if we had more books generally available at the library without requiring click and collect, since right now the library feels like a study space but not a real library.

Worst aspect is purely as I have had minimal interaction with them so I am unable to give a fair rating, so I decided to go in the middle as a means for it. everything so far has been really easy to follow with set study times easy access to all the locations I need to use and where my campus is located has a lot around it making it even more convenient to do things outside of university too

I love this uni. It’s great! What I love so much about it is how close your course is. With each year consisting of very few students you really become a family whereas, other universities you rarely even speak to people on the same course as you! The student life is good but it can be a bit dull due to the lack of student based businesses in Chichester and Bognor meaning that for anything ‘trendy’ you are expected to travel to Portsmouth or the surrounding areas. What I don’t love is the accommodation. The uni has two main off-site accomodations in Chichester and both are not nice places to live. Whilst Fishbourne has better facilities, it is a cold, dire place to live. Stockbridge on the other hand has stained carpets, showers in which you press a button for 30s of water at a time, and tiny kitchens. I am particularly disappointed in the accommodation manager, when I reported a flatmate for aggressive and threatening behaviour and asked not to be identified, he promptly told the flatmate about what I had said. This issue desperately needs to be sorted out. Overall, particularly in the Conservatoire, the uni has been dealing with some big budget cuts causing certain courses to become essentially obsolete and just made to keep funding up. This is really disappointing as it means students are being admitted to a course that wont utilise their talents therefore not preparing them for the industry that they are desperate to enter.

Each assignment in each module has been fun to do, the lecturers give detailed feedback on anything we hand in as well as how they present each lecture is engaging and interesting. The campus is modern and different from most unis as it’s a lot smaller which I think is a good thing because it means the uni focuses on student engagement a lot more.

The lecturers I have I cannot fault! The English and Education studies departments are wonderful. However, being a commuter and a 3rd year student, I don’t feel a part of the community. I feel that commuters are not as supported as we could be by the university as we are not always kept in the loop. Since the name change it has felt very hollow. I’m not sure how the places to eat on campus are expected to stay where they are considering the prices of food and drinks! Should be more budget friendly - in year 1 it used to be full most lunchtimes, now it’s extremely quiet when I have been in (even at peak times). Thankfully there is a volunteer based event in the chaplaincy every Wednesday where staff and students can get something to eat and a warm drink. What is now called ‘The Hub’ (learning development centre) used to be situated in the centre of campus, everyone knew where it was and despite being a small team, the space was utilised, now they are in one area of the cornerstone building and it is open plan - not ideal if your not a confident learner. As a group of people, this university is extraordinary for knowing who you are and what you need - I feel some of the business decisions have dimmed a lot of the sparkle this place has had in previously years.
