Counselling degrees

The best aspects is the facilties and resources. They do really make it fun to study. The worst aspects has to be the location. The current campus I am in is further from the main campuses and it's located behind a number of houses.

I attended this university for my undergraduate degree over a decade ago, and I cherished my experience then just as much as I do now. Currently, I find myself in a different phase of life as a mature student with a young family. Nevertheless, I believe that the student experience and facilities continue to meet my needs, even as they differ from those I had during my undergraduate studies. Across all campuses, the staff are exceptionally friendly and welcoming. The environment is clean and well-maintained, fostering a strong sense of pride among both students and staff. Overall, the university feels safe and inclusive. I wouldn't say there is a worst aspect of my university experience, as I feel it meets my expectations at this stage in my career and life.

The support system is great overall, I was in a tough spot after not meeting the requirements to get into another university and felt like I was out of option. I was then recommended this university and I was skeptical at first until I was told I could attend a one to one coaching session before accepting my unconditional offer. When I started the course (I started a month late) I was worried that I would not be able to keep up however I realised all the work was easily accessible and readily available for me to utilise whenever I needed. There are also scheduled monthly catchup session for debriefing and answering any inquiries or questions about the work. This allows students to raise any concerns with tutors and work collaboratively with other students in debates and group discussions. There is also an option of booking one to one coaching sessions wherein you speak to tutors about anything you are worried about personally and if needed, receive help on any work you are behind or unsure about. The online sessions are done on teams which is a highly accessible platform. Only downside Is the use of Microsoft Sway instead of PowerPoint or Word, the website gets a bit tricky to use at times as I am unfamiliar with it. However tutors are very approachable and encouraging and can help regarding this matter (after getting some input for tutors and other students I feel a lot more comfortable using Microsoft Sway).

BCU is a good place to study because the lecturers are supportive, the teaching is clear, and the facilities in Seacole/Harborne are really built for healthcare students. The campus feels safe and organised, and there’s a good atmosphere for learning. The only thing that could improve is getting timetable info a bit earlier, but overall it’s a solid uni experience.

Best experience has to be Keele hall it’s beautiful in all seasons to go to especially in summer there’s no other uni that can offer that For nursing the teaching facilities are great theirs no other facilities you would need to study The student union are always their with support so you will never feel on your own Worst probably the night life just wish their was less nights out but better produced maybe that would attract more people Also I have seen the graduations that take place in January and their not as well produced as the summer ones which is a shame makes us feel a little bit under appreciated
