What students say about applied-economics

I love the new city campus. It looks great and has excellent facilities, but more green spaces would be nice. The library is well stocked and there are plenty of study spaces. The teaching staff are excellent.

What students say about applied-economics

Best aspects: The university provides a supportive learning environment with helpful lecturers and good academic resources. The campus is generally welcoming, and there are plenty of opportunities to develop skills both academically and personally. Worst aspects / Improvements: One issue that needs improvement is the heating and hot water system, as it does not always work properly. At times, students only have access to cold water, which can be uncomfortable and difficult, especially for students who are sensitive or have health issues related to cold temperatures. Ensuring reliable heating and hot water would greatly improve student comfort and wellbeing.

What students say about applied-economics

The best is the way its made me more confident in my art and made me embrace methods id previously rejected and made me consider more ways I can make a career in art than tattooing and allowed me to use resources id want to use after like risoprinting has become of particular interest. The worst is probably the vagueness of assignments sometimes and I tend to worry Im doing the wrong thing, but I have plenty of tutors I can talk to about this.

What students say about applied-economics

University of Hull has a beautiful and serene environment suitable for learning and even relaxing. The lecturers are very warm and receptive. Things that could be improved: student union (I don’t really see what they do, I’m sorry); the university should make arrangements with more landlords in order to make students living easier; Timetable should be more flexible (we asked for a change in my department but nothing was done)

What students say about applied-economics

i love the community - societies are great, i love how i’ve met so many people and get to do a course i love, the worst aspect is maybe how many days were in as it doesn’t see very worth it and facilities/resources for art students as we got £150 from an exhibition last year and they kept the money for “resources” however we’ve not seen any

What students say about applied-economics

I love my university so much!!! It feels like everyone is connected together, and it feels like a well-structured and connected community. I would maybe like to see a bit more interaction with topics regarding mental health (especially in men, young men and boys). But overall, it's a great place to study and there the views are so great.

What students say about applied-economics

It’s a great place to study because the campus and the convenience of the student accommodations/ houses near campus is good. It is also good teaching wise as most of the professors are top tier. What could be improved is that the support is horrible. When students are stressed we don’t know where to go especially the team of law is not supportive, even the professors are more supportive. It’s hard to be understood by them or to get some clarity. I wish they’d be more helpful
