Building Design degrees

Can’t believe I’m already in my final year of Biomedical Sciences at UEL . Feels like yesterday I was sitting by the riverside at Docklands during my foundation year, watching planes take off from City Airport, it was my little peaceful escape. This course has been such a blessing – from incredible labs and supportive lecturers to the Career Zone and Mental Wealth modules that gave me so much confidence . Being a Student Ambassador made my uni journey extra special (hello public speaking skills ), and the Indian Society always brought the most colourful vibes.. And the location? Perfect. Canary Wharf, the O2, Westfield Stratford – all just a quick ride away. Honestly, UEL has been a mix of learning, growing, and making unforgettable memories .

WIFI is absolutely awful and there are many dead zones around campus. How can a top-level engineering university provide such poor internet connection, especially when all of our assignments are internet based and due online? I am constantly searching for places around campus with any useable connection and the VPN speeds when you're off campus are just unusable. It's the year 2024. How have we not figured this out yet? It's absolutely unaccusable. You have the money to build an entire new campus, but can't fix the internet at your main campus? Awful.

One of the best aspects of studying at Wrexham University is the supportive learning environment. Academic staff are approachable, encouraging, and always willing to give guidance, whether it’s about assignments, understanding complex topics, or planning for future career goals. The university creates a friendly atmosphere where students feel valued and confident to ask for help. I also appreciate the diverse student community. Meeting people from different cultural and professional backgrounds has broadened my perspectives and helped me develop stronger teamwork and communication skills. The university’s flexible teaching methods and practical learning activities make the course engaging and closely connected to real-world situations. Additionally, the student services, including library support, career guidance, and wellbeing resources, are very helpful. They make it easier to balance studies, personal life, and future career planning. --- Areas for Improvement Although my experience has been positive overall, there are a few areas that could be improved. At times, communication about timetable changes or online session links could be clearer and more consistent, especially for part-time and international students who rely heavily on emails and the student portal. Some facilities, such as study spaces and digital resources, could also be expanded to accommodate busy periods during assignment deadlines. Improving these would make learning even smoother for students. --- Overall Wrexham University offers a welcoming, supportive, and practical learning experience. With a few improvements in communication and facilities, it could become even better for future students.

What makes the university a great place to study is how nice the teachers are and willing to help students. How it could be improved is raising more awareness about opportunities that the university has especially for those who want to study in the University

I like this university, everyone is friendly and the teachers are very supportive all the time. Im a young mom and also currently pregnant and the university have been doing everything they can to help me and provide all the support that i need and will need in the next few months. There are many student unions that you can join if you like being social and the facilities are great.

What makes my uni a great place to study is their student support. They try to help their students in any way possible to ensure that students get the best out of their education. I think it would be better if the university put more effort into societies and clubs such as sporting clubs and teams . It would help the university to have more of a community and really showcase other talents other than what students already study on their courses. My university do have societies and some sporting teams, however some of the societies don’t run anymore and it’s not made to be as big as it was when I first heard about it before I joined uni. I think it’s important to have that feel of community and university culture and to also show the inclusiveness of different cultures, groups and activities in which people associate them selves with.

My favorite thing about Rave is how industry focused we are. Translating our work into the real world is discussed very often. We get talks from guests who have tons of insight and our tutors are also knowledgeable. In terms of improvement, Rave is lacking in the student life area. There are not many active societies and it can be difficult to meet people or create student lead events.

I just loved the course and most importantly its flexibility with the online platform. As a working mother it was like the golden opportunity to develop my career at the right place with the right people and the perfect time. The result was just amazing, I graduated with the classification of Merit, and 2 years later established my own firm based in Beirut. I am now handling projects for high profile multinational firms operating in the region. I strongly recommend UCEM as one of the most flexible educational systems for personal and career development in the build environment.
