What students say about social-studies

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.

What students say about social-studies

it is a very green campus with lovely up to date libraries and accommodation. it is close to town and the train station makes it easy to go southampton for a night out. unfortunately not a great nightlife, SU is good but queue for hours to get in, and no clubs in the town.

What students say about social-studies

WIFI is absolutely awful and there are many dead zones around campus. How can a top-level engineering university provide such poor internet connection, especially when all of our assignments are internet based and due online? I am constantly searching for places around campus with any useable connection and the VPN speeds when you're off campus are just unusable. It's the year 2024. How have we not figured this out yet? It's absolutely unaccusable. You have the money to build an entire new campus, but can't fix the internet at your main campus? Awful.

What students say about social-studies

For what Bournemouth lacks in name it makes up for it with the great student support and environment of the university. Every staff member and facilities are easy to access or talk to. The career hub is super useful and honestly a massive positive, not to mention the very efficient medical center and student union finance support team for students. The bursaries are generous in my opinion and I honestly could not have made it otherwise. The pastoral care is unmatched in my opinion. Safety on campus is great. the student union always has stuff going on, ALWAYS, like a bread and bakery stall on some mornings, lots of international events too, being from France it made me feel quite at home at time. The teaching isn't awful, not the best either, maybe it's my course, but the option and units are interesting. The university reputation is average at best, but like I said they make up for it in other ways. The area is nice, it's a student town, with the beach, I personally like it, and the transport system is very very reliable and efficient.

What students say about social-studies

I love my degree. The lecturers are fantastic, knowledgeable and supportive. I love my subject and the freedom this course gives me to explore it. The block learning structure makes assessments more manageable. The assessments are often really open ended, allowing for you to research and write about your interests. It's really helped me to realise exactly what career path I want to follow. Theyre always advertising internships and paid work opportunities in a variety of fields and they provide plenty of opportunities for CPD for free. They have lots of services such as the careers team and 121 library support which are fantastic. UOS isn't much of a party school- Ipswich has an awful nightlife. It's definitely a different experience to some of the bigger unis, but I've met some awesome people of all ages and backgrounds. I would recommend this course, definitely!

The people are lovely. And if you ever have issues with someone the uni is quick to act. Uni at night feels safer with all the lights. Good food. Lots of clubs to join what are fun. Building close to early.

What students say about social-studies

One of the best parts of my university experience has been the supportive and engaging learning environment. The lecturers are approachable and genuinely passionate about their subjects, which makes studying much more enjoyable. The diversity of students also creates a vibrant community — I’ve met people from all over the world and learned so much from their perspectives. The campus facilities, such as the library and study spaces, are excellent and make it easy to focus and collaborate.

First.Students and teachers all are friendly and kind.And willing to give help me with enthusiasm.I really appreciate it.And here I think there is not much study pressure.Everyday is chilling.On the other hand.There is not much entertainment nearby.Maybe only in the centre town there are some pubs.And I wish our university could organise more funny activities or even build a playground.Hahah I think I couldn't require so much

What students say about social-studies

It truly is a beautiful school in a beautiful area, I love the look and feel of being in a smaller uni town and the student life is really the only thing I would improve in general. They attempt to hold a lot of events for students but the student motivation to attend these events are not high.
