Psychology degrees in Southern England

LSBU has a really nice new building perfect for a late night study session, with rooms that you can book for group projects or just group studying I thoroughly enjoy the new hub building. The student union doesnt really have alot of events that everyone can go to, they target more societies than the rest of the cohort meaning that the only events that are really going on are ethnic based eg . Bangladeshi night ( which is great for those of that community ) but it makes it hard for students that may not identify with that community to be social. We have a student sports program that is not connected so much with the student union, which has put a dent in the outreach of student union events. Now that student sport (I am sport club captain ) has left our student union, we find that our socials that were accessible to all and not targeted towards a society / community are less advertised and less supported . I think if the student union connects back with student sports the university could thrive to more events with more attendees and have a bigger outreach.

It's a very central location in southampton, close to the train station and the city centre. Very well internationally connected, with partnerships at universities all over the world. The teaching could be improved as students feel they are not prepared for assignments and we don't have enoiugh contact time with tutors

Bournemouth University is a good university with several advantages. Firstly, its prime location near a beautiful sandy beach makes it a relaxing and enjoyable place to visit in the summer. Secondly, it has excellent transport services with numerous buses running from different areas of Bournemouth directly to campus. These student-focused buses ensure easy access to the university regardless of your accommodation location. Furthermore, the university constantly invests in new buildings and projects, evident in its recent gym and library upgrades. However, there are some downsides. The sporting facilities for matches and other sports are located far from the university. While a bus service exists, it can be intermittent. If you're on a university team, you might face lengthy travel times to reach the sports facilities. Additionally, there could be more focus on developing academic societies and clubs. While the existing clubs, and the Student Union, are strong, expanding the range of academically oriented clubs would be beneficial. This potential shortcoming reflects the university's overall focus. With its 24-hour access and immense support from the library staff and the Student Union, the library remains a strong point.

I love my university and it surely is a great place to study because of the diversity of students, the student life at uni is amazing and it offers help to students regarding any matter, the lectures are well presented and we are always prepared for the assignments, as it is my last year I’ll miss my university and the time I’ve spent at Bedfordshire

Very quiet, lots of areas to study and lecture halls are large and comfortable. I would like there to be more activity based societies and for the society website to be updated quicker because new ones have trouble being added and there are old ones that have closed one or two years ago

The University of Brighton is a great place to study; in the heart of the city, you're only ever a stones throw away from the beach or the iconic Lanes. All the staff are incredibly supportive and there's little doubt they want you to achieve your full potential. The only downside of my time at the University of Brighton was that much of my time was marred by strikes. Whilst I 100% back and support all striking workers, it was clear that University management had very little care for staff and students. Especially if you're a humanities subject.

The university of east London is such a good university with lots of interesting facilities as well as here students from different country are studying and we get a great chance to learn new things new religious and beside that the tutor are good they motivate us they teach us a great thing with new techniques

I like the campus and professors. Food options are also great. I wish there were more events on campus that are not always fundraising because I feel like there are few free events and it’s hard for students who don’t have a lot of money.

The support the uni gives to students academically and outside is really good they are always happy to help and also with chi being a smaller uni it’s more personal so lecturers get to know you more as a person than a number. The only negative I would say don’t go to chi is if all you want is night life and there are no clubs but other than that chi is great

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.
