What students say about environmental-science

The support Brighton Uni has given me so much support with this course and made it very clear who to contact if any issues arise. I also know from friends how incredibly supportive and sympathetic the uni has been when they have experienced personal issues. This is my second Uni I have studied at, and Brighton is far better with the support it gives its students compared to the first one.

What students say about environmental-science

I like the different activities offered for students and the extra support regarding mental health during exam period, for example the stands in the library with fun arts and crafts. I feel like I would like more spaces inside to spend with my friends outside of studying. During bad weather, Plant Pot and other similar spaces get too full.

What students say about environmental-science

For what Bournemouth lacks in name it makes up for it with the great student support and environment of the university. Every staff member and facilities are easy to access or talk to. The career hub is super useful and honestly a massive positive, not to mention the very efficient medical center and student union finance support team for students. The bursaries are generous in my opinion and I honestly could not have made it otherwise. The pastoral care is unmatched in my opinion. Safety on campus is great. the student union always has stuff going on, ALWAYS, like a bread and bakery stall on some mornings, lots of international events too, being from France it made me feel quite at home at time. The teaching isn't awful, not the best either, maybe it's my course, but the option and units are interesting. The university reputation is average at best, but like I said they make up for it in other ways. The area is nice, it's a student town, with the beach, I personally like it, and the transport system is very very reliable and efficient.

Great lecturers , lovely campus and a good community feel. Facilities are modern and constantly updated. Support system is also really good. Worst aspects are cost of living is quite high but still manageable

What students say about environmental-science

Great area and campus. Love the night and student life. Would be great to be provided with more facilities especially in the equine centre. I feel supported through my learning most of the time but sometimes get let down with certain members of staff and have been disregarded in terms of certain private issues affecting my studies recently.

Lovely countryside quiet environment. Each subject has its own part on campus which makes it easy to find. Bus fares could be improved as I am a university student living at home and it costs me £30 a week to commute as I also need to catch a public bus.

The community feeling at campuses and off campus, support from students and staff everyone feels valued and they belong. Dislike the new change to a different campus after two years of study, Im now facing a 40+ minute drive to another campus when I’ve set my life up in and around my previous campus

What students say about environmental-science

I find the location, community and campus feel very peaceful and relaxing, and the education provided is good quality and varied. There could be more support for students who struggle to fit in with the student body, e.g., more help and encouragement to join societies or opportunities to socialise with peers.

What students say about environmental-science

Uni of Reading has a really nice campus with plenty of green space and is in a nice area of Reading that is a short walk to town, student housing is also right next to campus so easy to do for second and third year. Has a really nice library thats great for getting work done and Wednesday night union on campus is great. Accommodation on and off campus is very expensive however and in general student life is more expensive here that at other unis.

What students say about environmental-science

All staff in university is eager to help you with any kind of questions or problems. At lectures teachers are really engaging and supportive. You never notice how quick time flies during lectures. Especially, before any assignments you are given every detail about it, so you are well prepared and not scared at all. Birkbeck suggests a lot of opportunities for busy social life, where you can meet lots of enthusiastic people, and opportunities for future career such as additional workshops, professional guests, etc. I love being a part of this community!
