One of the university’s strengths is its location – the campus is situated on the outskirts of Norwich in a very green area surrounded by parks and woods. At the same time, it is only a 45-minute walk to the centre of Norwich. On the downside, accommodation costs are very high – £820 for a small room in a building dating from the 1960s-1970s with a small kitchen, shared by eight people who have access to just one full-size fridge and one mini-fridge.

It’s nice that it is away from the city and not too far to get to town centre with many buses going there and back. The campus is very beautiful no matter what time of year it is. End up missing out on events due to not having seen them as they sometimes get posted once or get overcrowded with other posts

The location of the uni is great - a very inviting environment all around. The main building and the SU are basically inside parks, which makes going about your day on campus quite pleasant. The lecturers and tutors tend to be very responsive and eager to help in any way they can. I haven't experienced any form of.. let's say, embarrassment when asking for help. The welcoming vibes from the faculty is just amazing. The SU is also really great! Just the amount of little events being hosted there is incredible! Almost every week you'd walk into the building, and there's a stall in the hall with people giving out free salad bowls. Stuff like that, I find, boosts the morale and the feeling of being welcomed and wanted as a student. As well as that, the countless clubs and societies are such a great ay of bringing people together. I am a part of the Traditional Crafts society, which is hosted at SU, and I've learnt skills with the society I never thought I would...like, leather binding…? Wow! I'm terms of improvement, nothing comes to mind. Perhaps, some sort of signage around campus could be great? With the amount of little tiny offices all around the Botanic, it can sometimes be really difficult to find the one you're looking for. Looking for street signs can sometimes be time consuminh and, frankly, annoying. So, like a classic arrows-on-a-pole kinda thing would be amazing!

My first year studying Banking and Finance at UWE has provided a highly robust foundation in capital markets and financial systems. The absolute best aspect is the practical application of macroeconomic theories and the rigorous analytical frameworks taught by the faculty. The facilities, particularly the trading room simulations, offer excellent asymmetric upside for developing real-world quantitative skills. If I had to suggest an area for improvement, it would simply be expanding the availability of niche financial technology modules earlier in the undergraduate curriculum to stay ahead of market trends. Overall, an excellent ROI for my educational capital, and Alhamdulillah for the highly supportive environment.

WIFI is absolutely awful and there are many dead zones around campus. How can a top-level engineering university provide such poor internet connection, especially when all of our assignments are internet based and due online? I am constantly searching for places around campus with any useable connection and the VPN speeds when you're off campus are just unusable. It's the year 2024. How have we not figured this out yet? It's absolutely unaccusable. You have the money to build an entire new campus, but can't fix the internet at your main campus? Awful.
