What students say about music-studies

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.

What students say about music-studies

I have enjoyed my first year but I’m also looking forward to getting to learn in the building. I think that’ll make a big difference for me. Because this is a music course I think it does really rely on being in person. However, the university and the teachers have adapted extremely well given the current circumstances.

What students say about music-studies

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.

Worst is library computers, they have to include usbc for computer extension. I like the organisation I wish they had more international student support considering we’re paying 3x more for the same thing
