What students say about dance

Library is very nice and modern, good facilties. Careers and Employability were very useful and helped me improve my CV. Staff are very helpful and welcoming. Uni is very clean and gardens always look very nice. I love the private study offices and the kitchen areas. Not many downsides only really it can be very busy somedays. More facilities for food like microwaves and kettles.

What students say about dance

My worst experience was the lack of support I received from the university in terms of finance. As an MSc student I was excluded from things like the Hardship Fund, which made student life incredibly difficult as I struggled to get a job in Liverpool and had no maintenance loan. On the other hand, I had a mostly positive experience in my course department, with most of the lecturers seeming engaged and passionate about their work

Edge Hill is a hidden gem as far as universities go. It's not as well known as some other unis but it's really great in almost every way. Very supportive staff, great quiet countryside location with good access to Liverpool and close to surrounding towns such as Southport. The gym facilities are top notch, as well as thr library and departments facilities. Can't recommended enough.

Great location and easy access to all students. Student support is there. Don't know enough about the student union. Other courses feel like a priority to VS very occasionally. Want more opportunities.

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.

Excellent facility focused on networking and the music industry. Equipped with many instruments, macs and recording softwares and studio. Possibly a more active student union and improved living facilities such as a canteen or upgraded common room (bimm dublin)

What students say about dance

It’s an incredible place to study - with amazing connections and history. Feel very lucky to study here. The course is well led to identifying your career goals and ambitions and trying to work within that field. Some of the teaching staff are a bit up themselves at time and can give a little bitter feeling towards music,

What students say about dance

the best aspect is that the uni facilities are amazing and the motorsport centre is such a nice building with the best equipment and technology for all students to use. But i would say that the worst aspect of uni life is how little money students are left with to live on. it makes life very hard alot of the time, especially when you don’t have enough money for food and you have to find what you can to just have a meal but i think that it will all be worth it in the long run. I think that i will come to appreciate the time when i struggled because i’ll appreciate what i have a lot more when i’m in a better position in life due to the university and getting a job that i couldn’t have got without university. I will be forever grateful for the university of bolton for giving me the opportunity to improve my life and giving me the opportunity to one day have the career that i’ve dreamed of for years and years. I don’t think that there’s anything bad for me to say about the uni and i don’t think there are things that i feel need improvement, i’ve had a great experience learning with the university of bolton and i’m looking forward to many more years together.
