What students say about psychology-and-counselling

It's great because you do everything when you have time. The coarse tells you how much time you will need and you fit it in around your circumstances. The OU library is available 24 hours a day so always someone to help no matter what the time. The forums always have someone up late or really early! The tutors provide excellent feedback and are quick to respond

What students say about psychology-and-counselling

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.

Lincoln is a lovely city, and the University is right next door to the heart of it. The University itself is nice, everyone seems friendly, the facilities are good, and the staff are cool. The only thing which I personally don’t like about the University is that it’s all modern, and I prefer the more traditional feel. The city itself is very historic, but I feel that is not reflected in the University. However, overall the University is nice and an enjoyable place to study. It’s a happy place and that’s what really matters in my opinion!

The staff are incredible, unbelievably understanding and supportive. They want you to succeed and you can really tell. However, Lipman building is constantly broken. The top two floors have been out of service for year and now the entire building is out of commission and not expected to be back until the summer. Surely at this point just demolish the place.

What students say about psychology-and-counselling

Canterbury Christ Church University is a genuinely supportive and caring environment that prioritises not only academic success but also student wellbeing. The staff are approachable and always willing to help, and there are plenty of services available for health, wellbeing, and academic support. The sense of community is strong — you never feel like just a number. The university’s focus on employability is another major strength, and it’s reflected in its impressive record of being rated first in graduate employment. The campus is welcoming and inclusive, and the facilities create a great atmosphere for learning and personal growth. Although the university offers great support, it could continue to improve by expanding study spaces and updating some facilities to keep up with growing student numbers.

i think that this university is a great place to study because the lecturers are very supprotive and approachable. there is also a good balance between academic work and personal wellbeing and i like the rescources that are available through the library and access to online matierials such as the moodle website. i dont think there are many improvemnts as there is good and fast communication via emails between students and lecturer and very clear guidance and explanations to what is expected on assignments.

I love the campus and the atmosphere we have. its a beautiful place to study and i have enjoyed my time here. All the staff are wonderful, I have a brilliant supervisors and enjoy my course. I have learnt a lot whilst at Lancaster However, i find that the student union is broken, it does not uphold its own beliefs. The societies may work but the actual student union body is useless. it needs and overhall, and needs attention brought to the actions of the staff and how people follow their regulations.

BCU is a good place to study because the lecturers are supportive, the teaching is clear, and the facilities in Seacole/Harborne are really built for healthcare students. The campus feels safe and organised, and there’s a good atmosphere for learning. The only thing that could improve is getting timetable info a bit earlier, but overall it’s a solid uni experience.
