Cultural Studies degrees in Northern England

The people are the best part along with the campus, the courses are taught by amazing staff. There are slight improvements that would help the overall rating but overall it's a good and delightful university

Leeds Beckett is situated in a great location. Firstly city campus is situated around 10-15 minutes walk from the city centre meaning if you are in first year student halls this is very convenient as many of them are right in the city. Furthermore if you are at Headingley campus you able to hop on the free shuttle to the city centre or if your living in the Carnegie halls, then this is right on your doorstep. Otherwise you are 10 minutes walk from Headingley centre and around 20-25 minutes from Hyde Park which is where many 2nd year and 3rd year students live in student houses. Leeds Beckett has a variety of courses and a great selection of staff on each course, meaning you interact with different lecturers and leaders. Moreover, the societies and student events mean socialising is encouraged and can lead you to make unforgettable memories and lifelong friends. I would say this is probably the best uni for someone to attend due to the close knit community that is created by Leeds Beckett and its location as it is an easy city to find your way round and it very quickly becomes a home away from home that you will be sad to leave.

There are excellent lecturers and student support services (particularly academic skills). The campus has a good feel and has a lot of outdoor seating which will be nice when the weather is warm. Lecture rooms are good but the seats are very uncomfortable. There is little impact from the students' union, for example there was no 'refreshers fayre' for January intake students, which also impacts the student life score.

My Course: really good law course with good lecturers, however seminar teaching and small group teaching can be very varied in quality, and often there is not much time for 1/1 support and feedback, especially in assessments. The School of Law and Social Justice put on really interesting career events every single week in the event space to meet employers, and there are lots of opportunities to develop employability such as volunteering at the law clinic. University in general: I love the University campus despite there being a few roads that run though it, it is a nice place to be and there is a community feel when you walk around campus, everyone feels welcome and there is always something going on. Student support is not the best, it takes ages to get an appointment, if you even get one, but once you have reasonable adjustments in place then things are generally okay. The Guild of Students: The guild feels like a second home at Uni, it is a very welcoming space that you can go to for whatever occasion, and there is always something going on there as well.

Worst is library computers, they have to include usbc for computer extension. I like the organisation I wish they had more international student support considering we’re paying 3x more for the same thing

Oxford Brookes University offers a supportive learning environment with passionate lecturers and modern facilities. The campus is vibrant, with plenty of opportunities to get involved in clubs and events. The city of Oxford adds to the appeal, providing a rich, historic backdrop and excellent career opportunities. Overall, it’s a great choice for those looking for a balance of academics and student life.
