Business Information Systems degrees

My uni experience has been shaped by the amazing people I’ve met and the opportunities to learn from passionate lecturers. I’ve felt encouraged to explore my interests, challenge myself, and build confidence. The campus atmosphere always lifts my mood, and I love how many societies and events bring everyone together. To make it even better, I’d appreciate more consistent communication during stressful periods and perhaps more affordable food options on campus.

The best part of my university experience has been the growth that has happened alongside the degree itself. Studying law has pushed me to think in ways I never had to before. It has made me more analytical, more confident in expressing my opinions, and more resilient when things do not go to plan. Even in moments where I struggled, I realised that I am capable of more than I thought. I have also valued the independence that university gives you. You learn very quickly that your progress depends on the effort you put in. When you show up, engage with the material, and take responsibility for your own development, you can really see the difference. Some of my modules have genuinely challenged and inspired me, especially when the content felt relevant to real world issues. The most difficult aspect of university has been managing everything outside the classroom. Academic pressure, financial stress, and personal challenges can all overlap at the same time. It can feel isolating, especially when you assume everyone else is coping perfectly. I think universities could improve by offering more proactive support, particularly around mental health and placement guidance. Sometimes students need encouragement and structure before they reach breaking point, not after. Overall, my experience has not been perfect, but it has been transformative. I have grown academically and personally, and that growth is something I will carry with me beyond my degree.

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.

The student union prices are very reasonable and good area for doing work or socialising. I also enjoy the landscape of the uni with the mix between modern and old school. While staying at Trinity Square accommodation it was hard to commute for social gatherings however that is partially my own fault.

My university experience has been positive overall. The lecturers are supportive and helpful, and they explain topics clearly. The campus facilities like the library and study spaces are good for learning. I also like the multicultural environment because I can meet students from different countries and backgrounds. It helps improve communication skills and confiden

The best aspects of my university experience have been the sense of community and the opportunities for personal and academic growth. My course is taught by passionate lecturers who make the subject feel relevant and engaging, and I’ve appreciated how approachable most staff are when I need help. There are also plenty of extracurricular activities and societies, which made it easy to meet people with similar interests. The campus facilities—like the library, study spaces, and wellbeing services—have also been a big part of what makes it a great place to study. In terms of what could be improved, there are a few key areas. Communication between departments could sometimes be clearer, especially around deadlines and timetable changes. At busy times of the year, access to study spaces can become limited, and more quiet areas or longer opening hours would make a difference. It would also help if there were more practical, hands-on learning opportunities such as placements, workshops, or industry links, as these really enhance understanding and employability. Overall, the university offers a supportive and stimulating environment, but with better organisation and more resources during peak periods, the student experience could be even stronger.

Cardiff Met is an amazing uni to go to! The science facilities are well maintained and it has lots of facilities for studying. The only downside I would say is that there are two campuses and some events are only at one, so you need to travel across the area.
