What students say about british-history

We're lacking a lot in terms of music facilities, or facilities available are very old/decrepid. Bangor is a very beautiful area, however ot is a struggle to get around with mobility issues. Everyone here is friendly as we're a small community. It has a cosy, warm vibe.

What students say about british-history

I had my Msc in Dental Technology at Cardiff Metropolitan University, and I had a great time. The faculty was ever ready to listen and help navigate me in the right direction. The International Students' office were very prompt in responding to emails and issues. Materials required for my practicals were always sent to me in time. This made me choose them again for my PhD. I am in my first year, and I am enjoying the programme. The graduate Staff are always willing to help with any difficulty or challenge. My supervisors are very helpful and showed so much empathy and understanding when I lost my spouse in December 2025. They moved our meetings to accommodate my emotions. There is support for mental health and other issues. I have not had any issues with any of their services or support, hence I cannot give any advice on what should be improved

Great place to study due to its historical ties and the prestige of its education. However, it does leave a lot to be desired in other aspects of uni life, such as its students' union and its organisation.

Best experience: a lot of student space when studying out of hours Worst experience: Student food is very expensive, it is well known that most students can not afford luxury goods, as most are not dependent on their parents but are not able to have a full time job, yet to have a nutritious meal you need to spend like you have money, majority does not have the privilege to enjoy two nutritious meals a day and the access we have to food in the university does not help

There are excellent lecturers and student support services (particularly academic skills). The campus has a good feel and has a lot of outdoor seating which will be nice when the weather is warm. Lecture rooms are good but the seats are very uncomfortable. There is little impact from the students' union, for example there was no 'refreshers fayre' for January intake students, which also impacts the student life score.

What students say about british-history

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.

What students say about british-history

I love the city in general. The University's libraries are good. with proper facilities that I can use, such as discussion rooms, computers, printers, even 3D printer! Some buildings look so old but in positive ways, make them look classic and cultured. However, in my own experience, some classrooms are a little bit aged. i mean, like some chairs are feel old, they are sometimes kind of wobbly, and some of them do not have enough leg room. Main library can be crowded when exam days come, but I think that is something that can not be avoided. i think it is good to add some space for classrooms or some like study hubs.

I find that the spaced out campus can be a bit confusing for first year's alongside the uncoordinated timetable on publish, leading to some miscommunication between classes, room and times. Apart from that, the university is clean, it's had a great atmosphere and overall enjoyable to go attend

Great buildings and location with great transport links to major cities. Being taught by people who are the best in that field and being able to contribute to their research at an early time in your studies. The tutorial system with very few people in classes making learning much more interactive.

The location is very well, the campus is good, but the toilets is not enough, specially, because we have a lot people inside and for some people need to wash feat to pray, the don't have the place. We need more toilets space.
