What students say about music

I am thoroughly enjoying studying at Portsmouth University, although i have struggled throughout my time here with mental health problems all the staff in every department have been amazing and without their incredible support im not sure i would have reached my third year and be looking at graduating! i cant praise them higher, it is an incredible university that treats every student the same no matter who they are, where they are from or any disabilities they may have.

Very inclusive and friendly feel from both staff and students, with very knowledgeable and helpful lecturers. The campus is really easily accessible with brilliant studio spaces for students to use to practice and record. There are lots of open spaces to study and collaborate, as well as a very well stocked library also great for silent study and focus.

Best aspects are the content, the lectures and seminars and overall support. The worst aspect for me is that it is far away from my house but that's personal to me and not something the university can change.

Student Union is very good and have very handy services for a range of needs (+1 star), even down to advice or signposting you to appropriations sources of help within the uni (+1 star). It has a nice range of societies, student-led and all unique; having only joined societies in my second year, I can say being a part of them definitely does improve student life to a noticeable effect (+1 star). Food on campus in the Fusion building can be a pricey - however, food served in Dylan’s Bar and Kitchen in Poole House is actually nice and prices are fairly considerate (+1 star).

What students say about music

Chester, a charming city located in the northwest of England, offers a distinctive and enriching experience for students, making it an ideal destination for higher education. The city combines the best of both worlds: a rich history and modern educational opportunities, creating an environment that fosters academic achievement and personal growth. From its prestigious University of Chester to its vibrant cultural and historical landscape, Chester presents a unique setting for students to study, live, and thrive. At the heart of Chester’s appeal as a place of study is the University of Chester, one of the oldest institutions of higher learning in the United Kingdom. Founded in 1839, the university has evolved into a leading educational institution, providing a wide range of undergraduate, postgraduate, and research programs across various disciplines. The university’s focus on academic excellence is evident in its strong reputation for delivering high-quality education, with many programs designed to equip students with the practical skills needed for success in their chosen fields. The university boasts modern facilities, including state-of-the-art lecture halls, research labs, and libraries, which create an ideal environment for learning and intellectual development. In addition to this, its emphasis on employability ensures that students are well-prepared for the workforce. The university’s strong industry links provide students with opportunities for internships, work placements, and collaborative projects, which help them build practical experience alongside their academic studies. The smaller size of the University of Chester compared to larger institutions means that students often experience more personalized attention from academic staff. With smaller class sizes, students are able to engage more closely with their lecturers, benefiting from individualized feedback and guidance. This fosters a deeper academic relationship and enhances the overall learning experience. Moreover, the university has a strong commitment to supporting students, with services that include academic tutoring, career counseling, and mental health support. These services ensure that students feel well-supported throughout their academic journey and have access to the resources they need to succeed. The tight-knit community at the university also promotes a sense of belonging, which is a key factor in student satisfaction. The university’s student union plays a pivotal role in fostering this sense of community by offering a range of extracurricular activities, societies, and clubs. Whether students are interested in joining academic societies, engaging in sports, or participating in creative arts, there is something for everyone. These opportunities not only help students make new friends and form lasting connections but also allow them to develop skills outside the classroom. In addition to the University of Chester, the city is home to several other academic institutions, further enhancing its status as a center for learning. The city’s educational landscape is diverse, with specialized institutions focusing on areas such as business, healthcare, and the arts. This diversity means that students have access to a broad range of academic programs, ensuring that they can find a course that aligns with their interests and career aspirations. Furthermore, the city’s compact nature makes it easy for students to navigate their academic and social lives, with university buildings, student accommodations, and various amenities located within walking distance of one another. This ease of access contributes to Chester’s reputation as a student-friendly city, where students can focus on their studies while also enjoying the vibrant social life that the city has to offer. Beyond academics, Chester offers a rich cultural experience that enhances the student lifestyle.
