What students say about computer-games-design

The support Brighton Uni has given me so much support with this course and made it very clear who to contact if any issues arise. I also know from friends how incredibly supportive and sympathetic the uni has been when they have experienced personal issues. This is my second Uni I have studied at, and Brighton is far better with the support it gives its students compared to the first one.

Southampton Solent University is an overall great place for students to study, offering excellent facilities, supportive staff, and a diverse learning environment. The university provides a practical approach to education, ensuring students gain real-world experience alongside their academic studies. However, student life could be enhanced by offering more social events, parties, and get-togethers. These activities would help students connect, build friendships, and create a stronger sense of community on campus. With a livelier student social scene, Solent University would become an even more enjoyable and well-rounded place to study.

The activities organised by the school for MBA students is impeccable. From industry seminars, to skills workshops and immersive group bonding events it’s truly been amazing. One area of improvement would be for the school to partner with institutions for secure placement opportunities for their students, especially international students so their learning experience is robust and seamless.

The careers team is amazing at posting job listings. They are so proactive in getting you the right support and I love that about them. And I think the structure of some teaching material could be improved with bringing the right balance of AI into studies

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.

The location of my university is the best. You can literally get access to all of the attractive sights of central london when you don't have classes. As for the worst part, there's actually nothing!!

Honestly, CCCU is a pretty great place to study because it’s got this mix of chill vibes and real support. The campus feels friendly like, you actually see people you know every day, and the lecturers aren’t scary distant professors, they’re approachable and actually want you to do well. The location helps too being in Canterbury means you can go from a seminar straight to grabbing a coffee by the cathedral or hanging out by the river. It’s small enough to feel personal but big enough that there’s always something going on. If I had to say how it could be improved, I’d probably go for more social and study spaces somewhere between “library quiet” and “coffee shop noise,” you know? Maybe more late-night food options for when deadlines hit and everyone’s running on caffeine and panic. Also, more opportunities for students from different courses to collaborate would be cool like film students working with music or business students to create real projects. Overall, from my point of view CCCU feels like a community not perfect, but real. It’s the kind of place where you grow without even realising it.

A variety of student services and supports either in academic development and life is available. Staff and supervisors are supportive and respectful. The overall study environment make me comfortable. Particularly an issue is raised, the technician, staff and professors are kindly offering their advices, solutions after discussions.

What students say about computer-games-design

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.
