What students say about computer-animation

Great social life, good options for student societies, a lot of student support. A lot of professionals teaching on the course and it gave me exactly what I wanted for my career progression into genetics

What students say about computer-animation

Best experience is the facilities, and the student centre. Worst experience? I have two: the accommodation office and the actual course. During summer break, I am having a lot of problems trying to find somewhere to stay until September 6th, and they have offered me an extension in the same building where I currently am - on the top floor, and I am disabled, which they know. They five hundred quid for me to stay there for just six weeks - disgusting. Second - the course. I was really enjoying it until the summer placement (Bone Boot Camp). The mornings were fine, as we were talking about the skeleton - I want to go into bioarchaeology and osteoarchaeology when - or if - I graduate. There were too much emphasis on social media, or a 'Social Media Takeover' as it's called. ! And I thought archaeology and anthropology were sciences, not to be taken lightly, but this makes it seem like a joke, and a bad one, at that. It's clear this course is engineered to appeal to much younger students, and not someone nearly 50, as I am. I am good with technology, but I don't think social media should be part of this course, or career. If I wanted to be an influencer, I would be putting dumb videos on YouTube or TikTok. I just can't take it seriously anymore, and all this stress of what's happening right now? I am really thinking about dropping out, because it's not worth the aggravation. I gave up my home, and my job to do this, and it was obviously a sacrifice that I shouldn't have made. UCLAN is great if you're under 35. If not, you're screwed

What students say about computer-animation

Everyone I have met has been friendly and helpful. There are plenty of societies to join and the student union bar is great for a bit of socialisation on the side. I wish there were more green spaces to sit and quiet areas like the library dotted around. Parking is a bit hit and miss but there's plenty of buses.

The commute links are very convenient as someone who has to travel from peripheries of Manchester .St James campus is very arranged and plentiful spaces and resources for students like myself however I must say there isn’t much of a social aspect example societies or events going on I believe due to it not being Edge Hills main campus However since my course is placement based when we do arrive to campus we naturally socialise and she one another’s experiences .Overall Univeristy social aspect is amazing considering lots of places to go since on Oxford Road Would be nice to have some events or even go to Main campus as a whole

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

Good student life, city is easy to navigate Resources for help could be better advertised More mock exams should be made available and more instructions on how to structure exam questions/what is needed to get a first More knowledge on how many marks needed for certain grades could be made more known

What students say about computer-animation

Best aspect: amazing facilities, highly professional tutors and staffs, everyone seems to have good heads on their shoulders. High teaching standard and it's nice meeting people from other cultural settlements. Worst aspect: more of a recommendation, extracurricular activities to establish a better inculcation, especially for foreign students. For instance, city tour for foreign students, debates, sports etc, this will facilitate better friendship between students

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.

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)

The best aspect of the uni experience would be the campus. There are many things to do here, as long as you actually head over to the Hope Park campus. I didn’t do this for the first two years but did in the final year and it was life changing!
