Counselling degrees in All England

Everyone is super friendly! City campus is situated perfectly, as it’s in town centre so you have access to so many different shops and places to go during your breaks! The buildings are very modern. My classroom is really cozy! Leeds itself is amazing for student life, and I can assure you that with Leeds Beckett uni, you’ll meet plenty of people to go enjoy the Leeds night life with! The support is amazing. Your teachers are always there to help you if you need it or have any questions! And the uni also offers support for many things! Including mental health and disabilities. Leeds Beckett has a great community and I would 100% recommend anyone who wants to go to university to study here!

Everyone on my course is very welcoming and I feel very supported by staff. My only complaints are that my commute is long which makes it difficult for me to get up on days when I have an early start since I have to change my sleep schedule.

Newman has phenomenal lecturers who have at least 10+ years in experience in their fields. They are incredibly friendly and understanding. They personally know majority if not all students. You can always contact them easily whether that's through an email or a knock on the door. On top of that, the lecturers have attended the university themselves during their career which I think contributes greatly to the learning experience - they know how it feels to be in our shoes in this very university. The atmosphere is inviting and warm. Everyone knows everyone and all staff and students go out of their way to help and support new students to fit into this little community. It honestly feels like a second home and I understand why Newman is number 1 in student satisfaction. Moreover, Newman takes pride in their library facilities. The library, which spans across 3 floors, provides a vast amount of books, journals ,articles and even physical interactive materials to take with us to teaching placements. There are silent, bookable rooms for when you need absolute quiet or an area with booths to work on group projects. The library staff are a must mention! There over 10 members of staff at the library, some of which have knowledge on each subject taught at the university if you're looking for that extra support. They can guide you and provide information on anything you need. Student support is a facility within the library that can help you write your assignments if you get stuck and need a boost. The class sizes are small too so you really get in-depth learning.

Location is ideal if you travel by train, as the train station is literally on the door step of the uni! The main campus is large, split over 2 sites across the train tracks, health and clinical courses are taught at the Mary Seacole and allerton buildings. Both very well equiped and large enough to accommodate the large cohort. Amazing facilities including xray and CT machines. The library is always open and loads of small quiet places to stay, socialise and study. This is a big campus and can be over whelming, however this is helped by good planning of rooms and common rooms across both campuses.

Novel educational techniques that train you to answer real world problems, providing good facilities for students. It provides so many facilities to students. The education system is based on individual learning experiences which can help students to develop their skills using all the facilities provided. In term of improvement there’s so many different cultures. If there’s more opportunities for students to mix and get to know each other it will be better.

Since joining this year for my masters on what is the first year that the course has been run, lecturers have been great, content has been great and the communication between students and the university regarding covid and the constantly changing situation that we have found ourselves in has been excellent. Whilst it has not been possible to meet many students at the Uni socially there have been many social events run over zoom to get involved with and I feel they have made the best of an unprecedented situation.

As a student at the University of Sunderland, my experience has been overwhelmingly positive. The university offers a diverse range of well-structured academic programs, providing me with valuable knowledge and skills for my chosen field. The faculty members demonstrate a genuine commitment to student success, fostering a supportive learning environment (an example being the feed forward targets on every assignment to help me improve on the next). The campus facilities are modern and well-maintained, offering state-of-the-art resources for both academic and extracurricular activities. I appreciate the university's dedication to diversity and inclusion, creating an inclusive atmosphere that celebrates students from various backgrounds (as an international student, i have benefited a lot in other to deal with culture shock). The availability of support services, including excellent academic advising and career counseling, has been instrumental in my personal and academic development (i have also enjoyed the one - on - one study skills appointment with library officials). Furthermore, the university's intervention through the English for Academic Purpose modules have shaped and made my learning process easier as an international student. Overall, the University of Sunderland has exceeded my expectations, providing a comprehensive and enriching educational experience.

The SU is doing fabulous work, and made me feel part of our community since my very first week at uni! However, I have had quite poor experiences with university support services and didn’t feel well supported as an international student. The lack of basic facilities like enough plug sockets and microwaves for students around campus doesn’t make student life easier, especially during the cost of living crisis. The sports facilities that can be used by university sports clubs haven’t been renovated (apart from the gym) and are non-existent for some sports, making clubs pay more to hire external facilities, therefore, making quite a lot of sports completely inaccessible due to the costs involved. The participation support fund isn’t transparent at all and I haven’t met anyone who actually managed to get anything sufficient out of it. The learning support plans don’t feel completely integrated into how education and assessments are organised, and often are disregarded/not paid attention to.

Very supportive university with helpful lectures that help you every step of the course. Kedleston road campus is massive with loads of facilities, such as cafes, study spaces, library, sports hall and gym.
