What students say about fashion-design

My support team, made me enjoy studying at the University of Greater Manchester, they simplified my subjects into easy, simple and enjoyable course. My tutors were approachable and they teach and not lecture, carrying everyone of us along. There is always room for questions at the end of each lecture. One of my worst university experience is having to share toilet and bathroom with other students who don't always keep it clean as it should be. I have to be the one who keeps both the toilet and bathroom and kitchen clean always and this makes me unhappy because I feel I am being taken advantage of, even after I try talking to them, they still repeat the same thing every day. So I am not happy about it. Apart from that, university of Greater Manchester is a place to be, I enjoyed every experience.

What students say about fashion-design

I think it's a really nice place to study because of how supportive the staff are. From administrative staff to subject tutors to library staff, everyone here is happy and eager to provide you the support you need. I've never felt reluctant about asking for help in the university here. The campus is a small but a really nice place with restaurants and a lot of hanging-out spots. I wish the university could provide more campus accommodation spaces for students taking postgraduate courses like the PGCE.

Great aspect is the modern facilities and learning environment. The campus is well-equipped with up-to-date labs and software resources, which is especially valuable for engineering students. The university also provides good academic support services and career guidance, helping students improve employability. Meanwhile, for something to improve the best will be expanding networking opportunities with more industry professionals and increasing internship connections would further enhance our careers.

What students say about fashion-design

I think the support is great. The course is good however I personally do not enjoy the lectures in third year. I feel the atmosphere is great and the library is a lovely place to study. My only complaint is that parking is quite limited as you have to arrive 1-2hours before just make sure you have time to find a space.

The staff and students around the campus are always so welcoming and friendly. It really makes me enjoy where I’m studying. I think something that could be improved is the university’s response to student based issues.

What students say about fashion-design

Based on my time here, the University of Huddersfield is an excellent choice if you're looking for a career-focused degree and a supportive learning environment. The standout feature is definitely the teaching quality, backed by the Gold TEF rating, as nearly all my lecturers were genuine experts who were passionate and approachable. The modern, compact campus is a big plus—everything is central, from the state-of-the-art library (great during exam season!) to the specialist labs, and the fact that Huddersfield itself is a really affordable student town makes a huge difference. While the local nightlife might not rival a big city like Manchester, the focus on practical skills, the strong emphasis on industry placements, and the overall sense of community made my experience highly rewarding and put me in a great position for my career.

The best aspects are the student union and the facilities available. I think it could be improved if we had more books generally available at the library without requiring click and collect, since right now the library feels like a study space but not a real library.

What students say about fashion-design

The university is located in a great location with the library and leisure facilities close by. There are plenty of places to go for food and drinks, such as the student union, which provides lovely food at a low cost. I would like to see an improvement in knowledge of student support areas, as I personally would not know where to go if I needed help other than maybe asking for help? I think there should also be more quiet space to study.

What students say about fashion-design

Leeds Arts Univerity is small in size, meaning there are few noteworthy Student Unions in comparison to UoL, but does feel welcoming and safe. The university's student support is freindly and helpful from what I experienced; LAU is a very inclusive organisation and does strive to support students with a variety of services available. The campus is a little dull looking, with few spaces looking vibrant in contrast to the many white/grey hallways. I was able to use the Film/Photography course's cameras as a Music student, however the university's facilities seem somewhat limited as a whole, with spaces and equipment scarce close to submission time.
