What students say about music

i love the facilities at this uni, the library and the teaching is great. there are many places for all types of students ,quiet or not, to go and the nightlife in the city is prety decent. it is quite affordable compared to other universitys close by. the societies are fantastic aswell. the university could improve on certain teaching aspects in the first year to ease us into how very independant it all is

I really appreciate the learning environment in the class, consulting and getting feedback from the tutor. The worst experience I had during university is the receptionist was literally very rude and his behaviour to each students regarding any information. IT service’s doesn’t provide the software we used during our project and they donot have any alternate method to solve students problem

In 1 semester I had time of explorations and many curious finds. Great course, nice people both students and the staff. Help whenever I need and facilities that put other unis in the dust. The student union adds so much room for opportunities and helping me perfect my social skills. Overall I'm having great time

My experience at University of Brighton confidently prepared me for the future and allowed me to discover the best version of myself. Living in such a creative and vibrant city made every day feel like an adventure, and studying in Brighton offered the perfect balance between academic growth and an exciting student lifestyle. As an international student, feeling a sense of belonging was essential, and Brighton exceeded my expectations. From the very first day, the university’s welcoming and inclusive community made me feel at home. The international orientation programme was especially valuable, helping me form some of my closest friendships and making the transition to university life in the UK far less stressful than I had anticipated. The level of student support available throughout my degree was exceptional. Whether navigating academic challenges or personal concerns and exploring future opportunities , I always felt guided rather than overwhelmed. My student support guidance tutor and academic tutor were consistently available, offering help with assignments and regularly checking in on my wellbeing to ensure I was having a positive student experience. This personalised approach helped me stay motivated, confident, and supported at every stage of my studies. Career development was embedded into my student experience from the very beginning. The careers and employability team supported me in creating my first CV in my first year, securing part-time work in the city, and gaining clarity about my long-term goals. Even after graduating, their continued guidance has helped me align my interests with meaningful career opportunities, demonstrating the university’s genuine investment in its students’ futures. Beyond academics, student societies were central to my experience at Brighton. Through joining different societies, I was able to explore my interests outside the classroom, build friendships across disciplines, and feel part of a wider, supportive student community. The connections I formed and the memories created through shared activities became some of the most meaningful and rewarding parts of my university experience. Having access to three distinct campuses across the city further enriched my experience. The City Campus offered a creative and cosmopolitan environment, surrounded by Brighton’s thriving arts and social scene. Moulsecoomb Campus provided a more urban and academic atmosphere, conveniently positioned between the city centre and Falmer. Falmer Campus felt like a traditional campus university, with expansive green spaces, a strong sense of community, excellent facilities, and the Amex Stadium nearby, creating a unique blend of campus life and local pride. Across all campuses, the facilities are well maintained and thoughtfully designed, with excellent access to libraries, study spaces, and up-to-date equipment that support both academic success and student wellbeing. Reflecting on my overall experience, the University of Brighton offered far more than a degree. It provided a supportive environment in which I could grow academically, professionally, and personally, and I would wholeheartedly recommend it to students seeking a university that truly invests in their development.

More vegan food on campus would be appreciated but there are options. Changes to the way wellbeing works has made things difficult, for me. Support from PAT has been great but Support from studentzone/wellbeing less so. Easy access location, on a unesco site, which is such a privilege.

What students say about music

One of the best aspects of my university experience has been the supportive and engaging learning environment. Many of the lecturers are genuinely passionate about their subjects and approachable outside of class, which makes a big difference when you need help or want to explore topics more deeply. The range of resources available—such as libraries, online materials, and study spaces—also makes it easier to stay on top of coursework. Additionally, the social side of university life stands out, with a wide variety of clubs and societies that help you meet people, try new things, and feel part of a community. That said, there is still room for improvement. Communication can sometimes be inconsistent, particularly when it comes to timetable changes or assessment feedback, which can be frustrating. In some cases, feedback on assignments could be more detailed or returned more promptly to better support learning. Improving organization and communication across departments would enhance the overall experience and make it an even better place to study.

What students say about music

I attend UOG Francis Close Hall campus and it's so incredibly inspiring. It's a great oldy-worldy historical site and it was really the deal-breaker for me choosing UOG; although my course mates and I were severely let down when we were told we would have to move to Oxstalls campus in Gloucester... we managed to get the union involved but only managed to get it pushed back a year for us, all new students in September for social science will be in Oxstalls and won't get to experience the beauty of FCH. Such a shame. Despite this, the facilities are amazing, staff are equipped with great knowledge and are all incredibly friendly. All students are friendly and light-minded, it's a great environment to study in and socialise. I commute so I cannot speak on the social side of student accommodation and/or going out, but as a commuter it meets all my needs! I really recommend studying here, the lecturers know what they're talking about, and are amazing at illustrating theories and concepts in ways that make sense.

I think Buckinghamshire university is perfect for international students. This university offers so many facilities and student union support is great. The best part is teachers and lecturers are very nice and considerate. They keep me motivated and encouraged while doing the assignments and through every classes. So far I've had a great experience and always happy at uni. One thing I got little pressure is about the fee as I'm facing financial problems.

What students say about music

This university provides so much for our course and other courses by ensuring the best possible facilities are up to date, in addition to the amazing staff members who provide exceptional support for us all! The worst part would be the hills however this is to do with the topography of the area and NOT the Uni! On a serious note there is possibly room for improvement with more seating areas within the library as this can become super crowded.

What students say about music

Firstly, I study online from Ibiza, Spain, All I can say is the course I am studying MPSE BA (Hons) including the tutors have been nothing short of first class. I would highly recomend the online course to anyone like me, that cannot take 3 years out of an already busy life to study at campus. The study hours work for me and the masterclasses sessions is an excellent oppotunity to practise and ask questions. Honestly, I cannot fault the school the modules or its teachers. Its a 10/10 from me. Dont wait to long like I did, get enrolled and learn properly, it will get you to your target goals quicker in the long term.
