Sociology degrees in Eastern England

Best parts: access to loads of learning materials Worst parts: not much free activities, communication with student union isn’t great so I tend to miss out on activities which impacts my social life and mental health Also the school doesn’t provide support with finding a placement

Best - Love the fields and the lake - great lecturers - my course structure and content is great - great people very friendly - societies and sports are decent - public transport is decent - Y2K is good - bar is good atmosphere, great music, pool, kareoke, etc Worst - a lot of buildings seem run down and un used - when I first got here the amount of admin I had to do to set everything up was so annoying and long - Norwich isn’t a great city getting more unsafe and expensive - SU pints are becoming very expensive - construction has been going on for ages - in first year maintenance were over all the time, sometimes very early on Sundays for very unnecessary reasons and sometimes cos everything was broken - the amount of 9ams I’ve had especially on Thursdays has been a pain especially given how much the SU promotes sports nights - sometimes events aren’t really promoted at all and you just have to hear about them through the grapevine - quite often busses into the city don’t turn up at all which is VERY annoying - tap water in Britten house was gross, as were the showers, could CONSTANTLY smell sewage - single beds !!!!

My experience at the university has been very positive. The lecturers are supportive and helpful, and the learning environment is friendly and welcoming. The university provides good academic resources and facilities for students. It is also a great place to meet people from different cultures.Overall, I am satisfied with my experience and it is a great place to study and learn.

I love the support and population diversity. No discrimination and lovely place. The improving part, should be the student housing. They should be available during weekends. Can in Friday evening and now had to wait till Monday but they are nice. Also be price a bit much that chelmfords campus . I’ll let you on if I notice another thing cause I’m new here

I think I have chosen the best university I love how they support the student how the environment is . It’s fantastic and so friendly for me . Whenever I had i problem I emailed them and they were always available for me through everything from module assignments to helping anything . the next I wanna say is my university teachers they teach quite well I can understand it very easily even in one lecture I can learn all the things that are meant to be learned. And last one is the education system the module lectures and chapters they gave us is very good and helpful for us to understand each and everything about the topic the most important thing for me is educational system and my university Essex online university have the best system I can say that they are amazing teacher amazing students and very helpful stuff always their for us great university for me .

I was in the Bedford campus and the student life was limited. This was because many people travelled into uni from their homes. The student union was great at providing activities in the afternoons/ evenings. They also support students. all you have to do is email them or go to social events.

As a UCP alumni and now studying elsewhere I can compare small and large institutions and a small university such as UCP has much to offer over larger universities. Having people know who you are outside of your course, having support from teaching and support services without complicated processes, learning over your set days allows you to plan around this time so other commitments can fit. The course material is aimed at what the industry is looking for with practical applications alongside theoretical study giving you options for employment or further study. The staff not only support but work to create independent study and research skills. I enjoyed the sites and its facilities for being compact and easy to get around.

The best aspects would be how nice and respectful the student body is, the size of the campus you could never get bored of it and how peaceful the campus and university accommodation area is. Aspects I think could be improved on is cleanliness initiatives to educate students on why it is important be clean and keep areas clean
