What students say about psychology

I have read complaints stating students have not had guidance. There is plenty of guidance but it takes the student in question to pursue this, after all, it is to some extent unguided learning. There are plenty of classes you can join morning, noon and night. I was joining classes whilst away on holiday from my phone (ms teams) which was great. Throughout the various modules of my MBA there were good and bad lecturers, but the bad was 1 out the entire course, and unfortunately I think she happened to inexperienced, the rest where fantastic. The wider support around those providing the training and admin support for element such as general queries is where the university does fall down for two reasons: 1) When contacting an email address that appears on the face of it to be correct, you get told to message another, which is usually incorrect as well 🤷🏻‍♂️. They is really poor as the customer/student expects them to just provide the info rather than get sent round the houses. 2) Trying to get a response in the first place is quite difficult. Don’t let these points put you off as I had someone studying with the Open University who had a similar experience, so presumably it’s an issue with distance learning universities? Would I study with them again, yes! However, I would advise others to think about their learning style before pursuing with Arden , as it does take some getting used to studying with them if for instance you are an in person.

The facilities provided by the university, the libraries cafes and the mode of study used is exceptional. I wouldn't say there's any worst aspect of the University! But probably some more Indian food can be added to the canteen's menu? Hahah.

Location is ideal if you travel by train, as the train station is literally on the door step of the uni! The main campus is large, split over 2 sites across the train tracks, health and clinical courses are taught at the Mary Seacole and allerton buildings. Both very well equiped and large enough to accommodate the large cohort. Amazing facilities including xray and CT machines. The library is always open and loads of small quiet places to stay, socialise and study. This is a big campus and can be over whelming, however this is helped by good planning of rooms and common rooms across both campuses.

What students say about psychology

It’s great being able to study in a big diverse city, there’s lots of opportunities to meet all kinds of people. Could be improved with greater access to mental health support, more counselling appointments available etc
