Mechanical Engineering degrees in Northern England

The university itself is very modern and clean. The law building in particular is very well maintained and a nice place to study. The student support line is effective and most queries are responded to however some are forgotten/ responded to weeks later. The library is extreamly useful with a wide range of text books and other resources which makes finding sources very easy. There are also lots of other study areas outside of the library which means you can always find a quiet place to sit and work. The surrounding area of Newcastle City has just about anything you could want, with it being just a 5 minute walk from campus you have easy access to shops, transport and other facilities. The only issue with this is for home students which might be travelling by car. I live in the countryside and have no access to busses or metro stations. This means that driving is my only option. Car parking is very limited and expensive. Almost all of the public car parks fill up past 8am and a full day of parking can cost upwards of £14. The university car park requires a yearly pass which costs £700 up front. This is just not manageable as a student to pay up front. Other than that I have had no issues with the university. They are also very inclusive with disabled students. Having a disability myself, they have taken the correct steps to ensure I have no disadvantages compared to abled bodied students and are well aware of the steps which should be taken when I have an episode. Everybody, down to the woman working the cafe on campus, went above and beyond to help me when I did have an episode. The situation was very stressful but the actions of the staff were brilliant and did everything they could. I have a lot of praise for Northumbria University and would recommend it to all students looking to pick a University.

The University of Bradford stands out as one of the top universities in the UK. They offer excellent education and boast triple accreditation from AMBA, Equis, and IBA. Plus, they are very welcoming to students.

UCLan is a great place to study because of its friendly staff, diverse student community, and excellent facilities like the library and sports centre. It provides strong academic and personal support. One area for improvement could be creating more study spaces during exam periods and adding more campus events to bring students together.

The commute links are very convenient as someone who has to travel from peripheries of Manchester .St James campus is very arranged and plentiful spaces and resources for students like myself however I must say there isn’t much of a social aspect example societies or events going on I believe due to it not being Edge Hills main campus However since my course is placement based when we do arrive to campus we naturally socialise and she one another’s experiences .Overall Univeristy social aspect is amazing considering lots of places to go since on Oxford Road Would be nice to have some events or even go to Main campus as a whole

Great social life, good options for student societies, a lot of student support. A lot of professionals teaching on the course and it gave me exactly what I wanted for my career progression into genetics

Careers goes above and beyond with creating network opportunities for peers, and online linked in courses are free with the university students. Academic workshops and Academic advisors are on hand for all students. LAUNCH is amazing space for start ups for students and alumini. Student Progression Advisors (SPAs) are amazing at liasong with disability, academics for interuption of studies, wellbeing support and wirth lecturers. Brilliant for those who are wanting a career change or wanting a top up year to go from level 5 to complete your full BA at level 6. Have 40 courses at Masters level that can provide you with a career change without having to have done a BA prior to this. You just need experience in the field, which you can be advised by the careers @salford team and may need to have done up to level 3 on some or level 4. For the university to have a disability team that has WRAPS in place from the get go, so once you start the uni you already have your accommodations in place in line with DSA and non DSA students, as there are many diagnosed and undiagnosed people. The Safe campus app covers all of the land the university owns to allow for safety for all of its students. More than one quiet relaxed area where you can relax and play with lego and colour and decompress. Liase more as a cohesive cross 6 schools and collaborate more with networks to great a greater alumini and experience for all students with different modules and create further specialisms at BA level. Their are kitchen areas in most if not all buildings, the food is very reasonably priced in the canteens £2 for a jacket potatoes and 2 fillings. Transport links are second to non, many car parks around the two main campuses, unsure about the Media City carpark, but the 50 bee bus network will allow you head from main campus across to media city for free (shuttle service). A little more information on how to balance projects/placements/work, we all undertake outside of uni or for extra with peers work life balance and experience would have been most useful on how to best approach the year ahead. Being able to have ago on technical side, events management, advisory, office dance sector job roles would have been useful, as a sign posting exercise, for the university to create partnerships with organisations for such roles for placements. Being able to do a placement in the 3rd year as an optional module for those who are coming to the BA to do a top up year. Dance lecturers are amazing, supportive and go above and beyond. Would be amazing I feel like there is more cohesion with music and dance departments, than there is with acting and dance department, which is a shame. There is a film and acting networking event, not one for dance and film or acting and dancing.

i love the community - societies are great, i love how i’ve met so many people and get to do a course i love, the worst aspect is maybe how many days were in as it doesn’t see very worth it and facilities/resources for art students as we got £150 from an exhibition last year and they kept the money for “resources” however we’ve not seen any

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.

The university is diversified and inclusive, welcoming international student from all over the world, with staff who are ready to listen and create a bespoke learning experience for student The ambience if the university is serene, feee from urban stress and traffic hereby creating a relaxed environment For learning. The university has a broad range of campus activities to build the socio-academic lifestyle of student and prepare them for the world outside the university

I so far really enjoy my course, I would say the location and general feel make it better than any other option, the variety of places I can just relax and sit down or to study is really nice. If I was to point out any negatives it would be with occasional lessons that have 2 or 3 hour gaps between which feel slightly disjointed
