What students say about musical-theatre

Library is very nice and modern, good facilties. Careers and Employability were very useful and helped me improve my CV. Staff are very helpful and welcoming. Uni is very clean and gardens always look very nice. I love the private study offices and the kitchen areas. Not many downsides only really it can be very busy somedays. More facilities for food like microwaves and kettles.

Best - the activities that the student union put on. The free shuttle bus and safe taxi scheme Worst - the fire alarm going off at 7am on a weekday. Being in lectures for two days a week and the days being very long

it is a very green campus with lovely up to date libraries and accommodation. it is close to town and the train station makes it easy to go southampton for a night out. unfortunately not a great nightlife, SU is good but queue for hours to get in, and no clubs in the town.

What students say about musical-theatre

The facilities are second to none and it is a fantastic place to develop the skill set needed to work in this industry. The opportunities to perform in real world environments and the trips to working studios are a great insight into the industry. The student support services all left around Christmas. I was in a time of need and I was going to apply for extenuating circumstances but there was no one to discuss this with or ask for support. My tutors were there but it’s not their job to provide support services. I ended up just putting myself under immense stress and this lead to burnout.

What students say about musical-theatre

I’m a mature student doing the BMus Music part-time at Goldsmiths. I’ve just come to the end of the full-time first year (which has taken me two years). Headline is I’d really recommend this course – it was definitely a good decision to apply. Over the first year I’ve done 5 year-long modules and coming to the end I reckon they have given me a really solid foundation as a musician in terms of my ability to play, write, analyse and think about music.

What students say about musical-theatre

What makes my uni a great place to study is their student support. They try to help their students in any way possible to ensure that students get the best out of their education. I think it would be better if the university put more effort into societies and clubs such as sporting clubs and teams . It would help the university to have more of a community and really showcase other talents other than what students already study on their courses. My university do have societies and some sporting teams, however some of the societies don’t run anymore and it’s not made to be as big as it was when I first heard about it before I joined uni. I think it’s important to have that feel of community and university culture and to also show the inclusiveness of different cultures, groups and activities in which people associate them selves with.

What students say about musical-theatre

My course has a fantastic amount of support for students and has a lot of facilities that are on offer to us, including online software. The only thing that I do not like is actually out of the Universities control but there are some things that could be done by the University to make you feel a bit safer. There are some issues surrounding the parks around Southampton and I feel a lot more awareness of this and safety options need to be spoken about. Offering alarms or more security around when students are leaving would be beneficial. (Day and evening.)

Edge Hill is a hidden gem as far as universities go. It's not as well known as some other unis but it's really great in almost every way. Very supportive staff, great quiet countryside location with good access to Liverpool and close to surrounding towns such as Southport. The gym facilities are top notch, as well as thr library and departments facilities. Can't recommended enough.

What students say about musical-theatre

The uni itself seems alright but the student union really seems to do all the work when it comes to student satisfaction. My tutors are great and so are the facilities but I dont think I am aware of everything I can get to help me or experience wise. I also don't think that we need as many apps as we use for lessons, I think of everything was just on teams or Google classroom it would be easier but it's spread out between multiple apps and it doesn't feel very user friendly. I love the student union and the fact that the buildings are all close together.

The diversity of buildings makes every lecture feel different and every environment feels fresh. The Ramsden building however has very tall, narrow and tiring stairs, which seems small but can make a large impact on a busy day
