What students say about software-development

For me personally, I love the fact that the students are few because it makes it easier for every student to approach a tutor and get feedback on how they are doing and how they can improve. Tutors are very calm and supportive when it comes to teaching students. If anything can be improved maybe their hearing system during January.

What students say about software-development

The lecturers are really approachable and want you to succeed. It feels really inclusive and diversity is appreciated. Being so close to Manchester there's lots going on and good transport links. The only real criticism I have is the use of online lectures, how ever much they try, they aren't as condusive to learning as in person lectures are especially if you have difficulties with concentration. I understand that universities are trying to find ways to cut costs but I feel that this detracts from the whole student experience both academically and socially.

What students say about software-development

The university needs to improve on student housing and accommodation as this part leaves international students in distress and affects their settling in. Greater emphasis in planning ahead and dissemination of information via student email and moodle on time so students can be informed on time of events, lectures or certain expectations they need to meet. I also suggest they create a platform or initiate a forum where students like student nurses actively participate and engage in RCN and professional programmes for developmental and career growth. Create more flexible and part time job opportunities for students as this reduces financial stress and fosters relationships between students and university staff

What students say about software-development

The university takes a long time to respond to claims. Also feedback is given back sparsely and it takes a long time to get back which makes it difficult to improve for future assignments. The labs are very nice and it is good that we are learning multiple different techniques. The student life and feel is also very nice. And even though there is limited study space on campus especially during exam time, if you get to the library early enough you will find a seat somewhere.

What students say about software-development

I think that the location and lecturers at BIMM London are amazing, however the campus does not have as much atmosphere as other Universities I have visited. I also do not believe that there is enough spaces for students to spend breaks and study or socialise around the campus apart from the cafe - which is quite small anyway. I think that BIMM London would definitely benefit from having more areas for students to relax and ‘chill’ in between lessons as Fulham Broadway is quite busy and has more commercial areas than places for students to enjoy. Other than that I think that BIMM London is an amazing university and gives students amazing opportunities.

What students say about software-development

Fantastic communication with tutors with lots of support with work. On a personal level, I would much rather work with Windows computers over the current Mac computers we use. Computers that are running Windows have been assigned very poor monitors which are bad for colour editing, something I went into uni for, but failed to achieve my daily goal to colour grade footage.
