What students say about forensic-science

The best aspects of university include opportunities for intellectual growth and exploration. There’s access to a range of diverse resources to engage in hands on research and practical experiences to enhance my career prospects. Social life is rich and is definitely one of the best things about uni! I have met people from various backgrounds and cultures which had helped me broaden my perspective and increase my confidence. The worst aspects of uni life is probably something that is not often mentioned - the competitive nature of university which sometimes makes me feel inadequate and have a little imposter syndrome, especially as I sometimes have financial and environmental constraints which cause me to not have an equal chance at achieving my potential.

Great location, lectures are very supportive and approachable in my course. Great facilities. Difficulty accessing prayer facilities as its located in top floor without access to elevators. More study spaces needed as they get booked out often.

What students say about forensic-science

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.

My PAT and tutors are very supportive they help me whenever I am in need. This helps me to tackle the issues faced. ISS team could be more active as they can help new students. Also more programs could add to make it more interactive. Food price could be reduced in market place.

What students say about forensic-science

DMU is a diverse, inclusive, welcoming university. I live an hour away and am a mature student, so I can't comment on the 'typical' student life, but as a single mum and a neurodivergent person I can honestly say that there is a lot of support available and I think I will thrive across my 3 years there.

Arden University

What students say about forensic-science

I have read complaints stating students have not had guidance. There is plenty of guidance but it takes the student in question to pursue this, after all, it is to some extent unguided learning. There are plenty of classes you can join morning, noon and night. I was joining classes whilst away on holiday from my phone (ms teams) which was great. Throughout the various modules of my MBA there were good and bad lecturers, but the bad was 1 out the entire course, and unfortunately I think she happened to inexperienced, the rest where fantastic. The wider support around those providing the training and admin support for element such as general queries is where the university does fall down for two reasons: 1) When contacting an email address that appears on the face of it to be correct, you get told to message another, which is usually incorrect as well 🤷🏻‍♂️. They is really poor as the customer/student expects them to just provide the info rather than get sent round the houses. 2) Trying to get a response in the first place is quite difficult. Don’t let these points put you off as I had someone studying with the Open University who had a similar experience, so presumably it’s an issue with distance learning universities? Would I study with them again, yes! However, I would advise others to think about their learning style before pursuing with Arden , as it does take some getting used to studying with them if for instance you are an in person.

What students say about forensic-science

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.
