What students say about english-language

The location is super nice with a beach near by and all uni buildings close together. The facilities the uni has to offer are good library, ravelin sport Center. The sport clubs available are extremely enjoyable. The welfare and student support is good but could be advertised a bit more often so everyone knows what’s available and where etc

It’s a great place to study since it offers a lot of study areas, alongside a wide range of modules that are all interesting. However, it could improve on the well-being side and have more trained professionals available to talk to

The campus is in a good place however the parking facilities could be improved, there have been many occasions where myself or others have had to park outside campus due to the carpark being full which can sometimes cause us to be late for lectures/seminars.

What students say about english-language

As an architecture student, the facilities are really great. There are so many possibilities of materials, workshops, and machines, and it feels like I could make everything I would ever need in the architecture labs. The Marylebone campus feels welcoming and a great place to study if you get to the library and the non-silent study group area early enough. The only thing I would say is, the mental health/wellbeing facilities could be vastly improved. There isn’t counselling available, if a student needs to talk to someone on campus, there isn’t a safe space for that person to go to. It is an online system where it can take up to a few months to get help via the university. Therefore, if you are a student who has mental health struggles, I could strongly recommend having a support system outside of university or going to an another university that has better mental health facilities in place.

What students say about english-language

I have been offered an incredible amount of support from the university so far. I have gone from 52% in my first assignment to 85% in my last, this demonstrates the level of constructive feedback given and the opportunities for academic development at ARU. The professors have always been approachable and are continuously looking for you to advance professionally. I cant fault the facilities, nothing exceptional or awful about them. Aesthetically, the university isn't particularly inspiring and on the winter days it can look especially run down. Running the society's need to serious incentivising, for the last two years the psychology society hasn't been running because there isn't anyone who wants to put their name forward.

I found Oxford Brookes University a great opportunity to study interesting modules, having simultaneously the possibility to do interesting activities such as field trips in Oxford and London. I have free a lot of free time that allows me to do what I love the most, sport. I would prefer if Brookes University offered us more opportunities of Exchange Study Abroad and more field trips around UK.

Best aspect is the support you can receive and the fact that there are numerous kinds of support available, whether it is be work support or help with background information. Worst Aspect in my opinion is the location as compared to city campus as it is in the centre of Nottingham so its very easy and close to arrive. However Clifton is located around South of Nottingham so it takes a decent while to get there compared to the city campus.

Its a lovely campus feel, nice and small so you know everyone and everyone knows you. Feels very safe. However transport to and from campus isn't great and parking is difficult and expensive. Student support is okay but could be better, for example more funding to help people who need more support but who don't qualify for whatever reason for DSA support. Accommodation services could be more dynamic, and the students union are not great at catering to healthcare courses, for example we are here most of the year but they only run during term time which can feel quite isolating.

Studying English Language

English Language degrees focus on the way in which English has evolved over time and so while it might seem like an easy degree to study, students will delve into the finer points of spoken language. This includes syntax, lexis, grammar and tenses as well as historical and social context. Career opportunities are plentiful with an English Language degree. Teaching in primary and secondary schools are common career paths, but graduates may also pursue jobs in journalism, marketing and public relations.
