What students say about music

The best aspect of my university experience is the teaching staff and the wider university team. The lecturers are supportive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping students succeed, and the student-facing staff are consistently kind, friendly, and approachable. There is a strong sense that everyone is willing to help, which makes the university a welcoming and encouraging place to study. An area for improvement would be the reliability of facilities, particularly the internet connection and printers, which have recently not been working consistently. Improving this would make studying on campus more efficient and less stressful.

The University has lots of resources and study spaces. I love the fact that I can borrow a laptop for 24hours. There is a lot of student support in terms of CV writing and also academic support via mentors.

What students say about music

I am a mature distance learning student, completing my MA in Philosophy of Religion and Ethics. The online platform is easy to use and the digital library is expansive. All staff have been easy to contact when I need any support, including IT, Finance, Admin, my personal tutor and teaching staff. I have been assigned a mentor to help me stay connected with university life and the Philosophy department. The modules are contemporary, as are the course materials. The student cohort is diverse and we all connect to the course flexibly, from different time zones. I receive a weekly events newsletter which has plenty of options for attending online webinars and socials.

The mental health services aren't good as there is one person looking after all of us. If we apply for counselling or therapy we are allowed maximum of 3 hours split over 3 sessions. That is not a beneficial amount of a student with issues.

The best aspects would be how nice and respectful the student body is, the size of the campus you could never get bored of it and how peaceful the campus and university accommodation area is. Aspects I think could be improved on is cleanliness initiatives to educate students on why it is important be clean and keep areas clean

What students say about music

It is good as there is a plethora of support available for all kinds of needs, however, the learning methods are very monotone and there is no atmosphere in the lessons, but this is largely down to the unenthusiasm of a lot of students. Additionally, the facilities are decent but no better than the ones at I had at college, there is just a greater quantity of them. Given that you have to pay for university but not college, you would expect there to be significantly better facilities at a university compared to a college

What students say about music

I am in the second year of my Kingston awarded BA fashion design course and i absolutely love it. There are some pros and cons but the pros definitely outweigh the cons for me. The class sizes are very small enabling each student to get as much help as they need. The lecturers are incredibly supportive. The facilities are amazing and there is enough room for every student to have their own space. It is located in a really nice area of Cambridge as well. For fashion it is not the same as if you were in London but the train ride is only 50 minutes. Cambridge nightlife is not amazing but because the city is so small its easy to make friends when you go out. I have grown to really love this place and will definitely miss it when i am finished.

What students say about music

I’ve been going to ACM since 2023, at first for my diploma, and currently on it for my degree. The facilities have continued to improve over time with rooms constantly getting refurbished with more facilities and options, studio rooms getting new and improved speakers, 5.1 and atmos sound systems and new gear getting brought in. Recently ACM has also partnered with Nord which have me the chance to use their top of the line synths such as the Grand 4, Piano 6 and Electro 3 which were absolutely insane to use.

What students say about music

The best is the students and the amount of resources the university provides. On the other hand, I expected a bigger workload and more classes for the price that I am paying. Since this is my first time studying something in the creative industries, I am not sure how the studies should be like, but it feels like there should be more tests inbetween the assessments and academic pressure.
