What students say about social-studies

I really enjoyed my academic experience at the University of Law so far. I love the location and the support they offer for students. I wish we had student halls, but hopefully this will be implemented in the future. There are lots of events at uni, but I wish they happened more frequently. I met some amazing people in class and I am looking forward to the next years!

What students say about social-studies

Best experiences are working within the kitchens amongst other culinary driven peers. The student support is good too. Things that could be better are the resources provided for culinary students as it seems to be a reoccurring issue where the isn’t enough produce to make a dish and this can be understandable at times however in order to work to the best possible ability we need the best resources and quantity too.

What students say about social-studies

I think all the lecturers are friendly and approachable. However, I felt during the school placement that I wasn't fully support, I think there could be clearer support and structure when you are completing the placement.

What students say about social-studies

Studying at Birmingham City University in the Curzon building is great because of the modern facilities, comfortable study spaces, and central location, which makes everything convenient. It could be improved by adding more quiet study areas during busy times and better communication about timetable updates.

What students say about social-studies

The facilities in Aston university makes it convenient for students to study. The facilities are modern and well maintained and there are multiple areas for group work and quiet study. The location is good as well as everything’s in walking distance like restaurants, shops and job opportunities. This makes it really convenient for students. One area where it could be improved is the parking. During peak times it can be quite difficult to find parking. Improving this for students who commute would make a big difference.

What students say about social-studies

I gained an MSc. with Arden University. The below first statement assume to be the worst experience, but it is also blessing in disguise. There is a saying that ''All work no play makes jack a dull boy'' The university does not have it's own garden or field, but there are numerous accessible fields, parks, garden, museums around including the prestigious Tower of London Royal Palace. Historic royal palaces, with great pictures and artifacts to behold. London Bridge and many more, just across the Tower Hill Campus. Same as other Arden University Campuses. Though they specifically choose best location for their campuses. Best Uni experience. The University learning model is excellent. self pace learning support, the Virtual Learning Environment VLE is pact with great both personal and customer support, easy to access and progress. The submission process, the assignments and exams support are straightforward when you get to understand how to navigate around the VLE. You just want to learn and gain more knowledge with Arden University.

What students say about social-studies

I am a mature distance learning student, completing my MA in Philosophy of Religion and Ethics. The online platform is easy to use and the digital library is expansive. All staff have been easy to contact when I need any support, including IT, Finance, Admin, my personal tutor and teaching staff. I have been assigned a mentor to help me stay connected with university life and the Philosophy department. The modules are contemporary, as are the course materials. The student cohort is diverse and we all connect to the course flexibly, from different time zones. I receive a weekly events newsletter which has plenty of options for attending online webinars and socials.
