People With Disabilities Social Work degrees

Chester is a fantastic university with such a lovely atmosphere. The lecturing staff have all been amazing on my course with a special mention of the counselling skills lecturers who always go the extra mile and try to make our experience as students as enjoyable and accessible as possible. I went to another uni a couple of years ago and didn’t get on well there, the feel was completely different (not very warm/welcoming and the lecturers weren’t really interested in our wellbeing or making the lecturers engaging) - after my first experience I didn’t see myself trying university again, but Chester has completely changed things for me and I have made some great friends and have thrived on my course. Highly recommend :)

One of the best parts of studying at Roehampton University is the friendly and supportive environment. The lecturers explain topics clearly and are always willing to help when students have questions. The campus is peaceful, with good facilities like the library, study rooms, and social spaces, which makes it a comfortable place to learn. I also enjoy meeting classmates from different countries and backgrounds because it helps me learn new ideas and understand different cultures. The teaching style at Roehampton makes learning easier and more enjoyable. Seminars and group activities help me understand the lessons better, and the coursework is practical, helping me connect what I learn to real-life situations. I feel that the university encourages students to think independently and build confidence. Overall, I feel supported in my studies, and this has helped me grow both academically and personally. Even though my experience has been positive, there are some areas that could improve. Sometimes the workload feels heavy, especially when deadlines are close together. Communication about certain tasks or readings can be unclear at times. More career support, part-time job opportunities, and more flexible timetables would also make things easier for students. However, these challenges are common in most universities, and Roehampton still offers a good overall student experience.

Lots of students which gives the opportunity to make friends. Lots of activities to engage in every week which acts as a break away from work. Huge library with several resources to help me along the way. Also inspire funds with funds given every academic year which is good when U want to purchase something but may not want to take it out from your own money. Although there should be activities to do during the daytime like sports activities rather than just in the night when some students may want to head home after studies.

I find the location, community and campus feel very peaceful and relaxing, and the education provided is good quality and varied. There could be more support for students who struggle to fit in with the student body, e.g., more help and encouragement to join societies or opportunities to socialise with peers.

I've had the best experience, teachers they really care about your feeling about your emotions and you can see they do really care about the students, my 1st year was one of the best ever had and hopefully I will be able to continue and going into the 2nd year

Limited amount of shops in Lincoln, which makes it get a bit stale quick, but is still a lovely city with plenty of things to do. Another downside is the fact it is in the middle of nowhere, you have to get trains or coaches if you want to go anywhere else. However, it does have everything you need as a student, with a good night out as well

The staff and students around the campus are always so welcoming and friendly. It really makes me enjoy where I’m studying. I think something that could be improved is the university’s response to student based issues.
