Social Studies degrees in North West England

I don't like the uni location. It's too far from the city and there's no much to do. However, nothing can be done to change that. I would like that there is more opportunities for international students to visit the UK.

Like the best I would definitely say the lecturers and lectures are mega sweet. I have ASD so they're super helpful and understanding and I've never felt so supported in an educational setting before. Worst is probably the toilets icl. They can get so mingling and the sanitary bins are usually full.

Meeting new people is fun and the tutors are all quite friendly. In terms of study, communication between staff members and students could be improved so that the same message is received to everyone, no mixed messages.

The people are the best part along with the campus, the courses are taught by amazing staff. There are slight improvements that would help the overall rating but overall it's a good and delightful university

I started the BA Photography course in 2018 and finished in 2022. I found the modules interesting, and we had a good mix of arts and more commercially orientated guest speakers. The tutors were incredibly helpful and supportive and did their best to provide engaging sessions despite the disruption of covid19 during my studies there. Resources are good with plenty of studio space, a big Mac-based editing room, and a massive dark room (B@W plus colour possible). Technical support is excellent too. Certainly worth considering for an undergraduate-level photography degree.

I find the amount of support from academic to international and student representative support so immense and it made coping and adjusting to the new environment very easy. The uniskills and library services here is top notch and staff here are very helpful and give guidance when needed. One thing that can be improved is creating more part time job opportunities for students especially international students.

I just moved into Manchester, and the facilities are great, but they need more events for making friends as it is hard for fresher and they could add more places to study for example more independent cubicles and they should lower the prices of food so it’s more easier to afford.

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.

The lecturers are lively and interactive. We had the opportunity to share our experiences at the student cafe and I love that they took note of students concerns. Generally the campus life is quite engaging.

The staff and students around the campus are always so welcoming and friendly. It really makes me enjoy where I’m studying. I think something that could be improved is the university’s response to student based issues.
