What students say about performing-arts

The campus is absolutely gorgeous! A wonderful mix of old and new, castles and modern buildings. Reserving rooms encourages students to get out of their rooms and study anywhere on campus, from the top of the castle tower, to the communal "pods" at Commons. The Student Union building has a bar and a small shop, and activities going on almost every day. Karaoke every other Saturday is one of my favourites. Close enough to the city of Bath for easy access, while still having the feeling of a university town. Lots of student discounts and student bars/clubs in town, as the University of Bath is also nearby. Interesting classes, lovely lecturers and guest lecturers, and proper assessments. Few, if not none, tests, allowing for those who do not thrive with simple memorization to show off how they learn. The diversity of students encourages the broadening of your own world view. A wide range of courses, allowing for study into incredibly specific topics. The main issue with the university is the wait time for wellbeing appointments, as it can take up to four months to even get a foot in the door. This means that if you do need help, it is very difficult to achieve. Also, while it isn't the university's fault, it is important to know that the First Bus system is not very reliable, so if you have a job in town, it is quite nerve-wracking.

What students say about performing-arts

Chichester is a safe city/town. It’s got a really nice atmosphere to it but not the best night life. The university could do with more communication between courses, especially those in joint routes.

The campus is peaceful mostly, chill atmosphere and great study spaces. Accomodation is decent on Oxstalls. Some of the organisational aspects of the uni and course hasn't been great and could improve

It’s a great place to study because it’s quiet, comfortable, and offers resources that encourage focus and productivity. Can improved by one-to-one support tailored to students’ needs and course-related difficulties.

Not always the most supportive and clear with assignments that are due and not always as understanding something doesn’t go to plan. The vet school in Langford cafeteria is quite limited and a lot more expensive than the main campus There is also limited areas to eat and relax compared to the main campus The content is not well spaced out on blackboard you often have to go into multiple folders to find specific work

What students say about performing-arts

BNU University generally maintains a commendable standard. The institution provides a diverse range of academic programs, offering a broad selection of subjects. As a current student pursuing two degrees in Aviation, I am largely satisfied with my experience. While I encountered a few instances of unsatisfactory lecturers that caused personal difficulties, the University's prompt and unwavering support in resolving these issues was greatly appreciated. The seamless process of changing lecturers further demonstrates BNU's strong commitment to student welfare. Although I would consider pursuing a master's degree here, the recent discontinuation or conversion to part-time status of several valuable courses presents an inconvenience. Nevertheless, based on my six years of engagement, I assess this university as very good.

The location is great. Lecturers are super friendly and always willing to help students with academics and well-being. The course is well run and constructed to cover the key topics needed to be a successful teacher. I would recommend Marjon as a fan choice for a small uni with lots of support available.

What students say about performing-arts

My experience at BIMM University has been a mix of inspiring and frustrating. The best part is being around so many creative, driven musicians, it really pushes you to level up. The course is very industry-focused, with loads of chances to perform, collaborate and network, and most lecturers actually work in the industry, which helps. On the downside, organisation and communication can be a bit messy at times, especially around assessments. It’s also not super academic. Overall, it’s great if you’re self-motivated and serious about music, but you definitely have to take initiative.
