What students say about sociology

Best aspects are the smaller class sizes which means more personal attention and connections with lectures and students. The campus is nice especially in summer. However due to being a smaller university there are less resources and lack of enough transport between the campuses

What students say about sociology

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.

All the facilites are in a really good place making study easy, however i think it would be even better if it was allowed to stay in some builing to work at night. Even if the Catalyst is open 24/7, it can get crowded at night during exam season and it would help if builing such as the Creative Edge can be open to student after 8pm even if they dont usually have class in the builing.

What students say about sociology

Facilities (5) - I truly believe that my degree is perfectly accommodated for just by looking at the facilities on offer. Not only that, but the actual hive bar is brilliant and there is lots of space for everyone. Location (3) - Although the building itself looks fabulous where it is, to get there you have to cross a very busy main road that sometimes can be dangerous and with it being outside of the AO arena, it makes it hard being there when a concert or show is on. With that being said however, the fact it is barely a 10 minute walk from Victoria station makes it very easy for me as a commuter. Student Support (4) - I believe that UCEN goes above and beyond when trying to support students, particularly with their schemes on offer to help those less financially stable. The only thing I’d say is maybe make it a bit more obvious where to access these support by putting posters up around the campus. Campus Look and Feel (5) - It is clear that there has been a lot of work gone into the campus itself which makes it a really beautiful and welcoming place to be. The campus actually featured on the latest season of Waterloo Road so I am pretty sure that this only goes to show how incredible it is. Student Life (4) - As far as I am aware, as a commuter student, the campus is brilliant for somebody like me as I can easily get there everyday providing the trains are running, but I do feel that with the location of the campus, students find it relatively difficult to find accommodation on offer around it, and therefore, this can make it difficult for students to really get to grips with student life when not being close to the campus or city centre. Students Union (5) - The students union is always thriving, there is always something going on that they have put together in the hive, and it is really a pleasure to get involved in these things and take a break from the degree for a moment. Whether that be painting or putting on a movie night, they really do go above and beyond. They also promote our concerts and events which is lovely to see.

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.

What students say about sociology

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 staff are easy going always ready to help, the park is beautiful, Peel park, got here September 2025 and so far nothing negative, what impressed me the most is I can just have a quick chat with my lecturers about anything bothering in my education and personal life, as an international student it feels so welcoming, too bad I have to graduate lol

The student support services, especially mental health support and career advice service is great. I love that alumni have lifelong access to career advice. They can improve their partnerships with global companies to provide students with international exposure especially for placements and internships.

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.

What students say about sociology

The staff, peer guides, students etc... Have been very supportive! They help whenever they can and provide the necessary information to succeed. The lectures halls and class rooms and labs are very well maintained, everyone is punctual, they are very good at communication and answering follow up questions. Overall the staff and people at MMU are the highlight of the university overall. However some things that would need to be improved on is the washrooms. They're quite small and often extremely wet or sometimes dirty. This is not the case every where or in every washroom however it seems to be a pretty consistent thing regarding bathrooms. I understand and appreciate the cleaner and staff are doing their best though, and it's a mainly student on student issue. However the general size of the bathrooms is small, especially the ones near the stairwells.
