What students say about software-development

Easily to access from my home via bus since it is not far from the bus stop. Facilities are good and student support is better than in many universities. Improvements can be made by introducing an assessment withdrawal period, for example I accidentally hit to submit my assessment early on blackboard before I answered any questions. A good way to introduce this would be introducing a period to withdraw of maybe 1 or 2 minutes before it is officially submitted. This would be a small enough window to prevent students cheating and would help prevent accidental submissions.

What students say about software-development

The support Brighton Uni has given me so much support with this course and made it very clear who to contact if any issues arise. I also know from friends how incredibly supportive and sympathetic the uni has been when they have experienced personal issues. This is my second Uni I have studied at, and Brighton is far better with the support it gives its students compared to the first one.

What students say about software-development

I like the different activities offered for students and the extra support regarding mental health during exam period, for example the stands in the library with fun arts and crafts. I feel like I would like more spaces inside to spend with my friends outside of studying. During bad weather, Plant Pot and other similar spaces get too full.

Southampton Solent University is an overall great place for students to study, offering excellent facilities, supportive staff, and a diverse learning environment. The university provides a practical approach to education, ensuring students gain real-world experience alongside their academic studies. However, student life could be enhanced by offering more social events, parties, and get-togethers. These activities would help students connect, build friendships, and create a stronger sense of community on campus. With a livelier student social scene, Solent University would become an even more enjoyable and well-rounded place to study.

The staff are kind and supportive, and they make themselves accessible to their students. The facilities are state-of-the-art, and the technicians are one of a kind. The student community is lacking cohesion across campuses which is a pity.

Chichester is a safe city/town. It’s got a really nice atmosphere to it but not the best night life. The university could do with more communication between courses, especially those in joint routes.

What students say about software-development

What makes my uni a great place to study is their student support. They try to help their students in any way possible to ensure that students get the best out of their education. I think it would be better if the university put more effort into societies and clubs such as sporting clubs and teams . It would help the university to have more of a community and really showcase other talents other than what students already study on their courses. My university do have societies and some sporting teams, however some of the societies don’t run anymore and it’s not made to be as big as it was when I first heard about it before I joined uni. I think it’s important to have that feel of community and university culture and to also show the inclusiveness of different cultures, groups and activities in which people associate them selves with.

What students say about software-development

This university provides so much for our course and other courses by ensuring the best possible facilities are up to date, in addition to the amazing staff members who provide exceptional support for us all! The worst part would be the hills however this is to do with the topography of the area and NOT the Uni! On a serious note there is possibly room for improvement with more seating areas within the library as this can become super crowded.

Its a very good place to study. The campus is great and the staff are very supportive. Would highly recommend, particularly if you studying politics. The student union could be improved a bit, otherwise its great.

What students say about software-development

The facilities, from that which I've experienced, seem well-kept and up to date, especially in the production and DJ department. Though, as a musician, certain areas within the tech and instruments could be more well-kept or up to date, however the tech are always extremely helpful when there's any technical issues. Nonetheless, they haven't always been able to solve issues due to faulty hardware. The location is possibly one of the best for London's music scene. Not just that, it provides short journeys to other areas of London day and night life, making it great for students new to the city or looking to socialise outside of the uni. Student support has, personally, been pretty good. When it comes to more general and relevant issues either in one's personal life, student life, or career, staff respond within fair times and with genuine care. When it comes to more complicated issues, however, such as personal troubles between students in the classroom, I feel they could be more quick, make active rather than passive decisions, and strict with their feedback towards the actions they disagree with from either parties. The Campus is distinct, homey, and reflects the environment well. It feels not only personalised to music-fans (which the students of course pretty much all are), but it's also well-kept, modern, and unique to the university. Student life, I think, isn't really tailored to people like me. It's very career-oriented. Everything feels like business lingers behind it, and, ultimately, it often feels more like a work environment than a university. This is likely to the advantage of people in their mid 20s or later years, which the majority of the students seem to be, but to me, at 20, it feels like too much of a shift to adult-life. In my previous university, the student life felt extremely inclusive, relaxed, and united. Here, it feels much more difficult to find personal connections with people just for the sake of it, which has affected my mental health so an extent, I believe, as I don't know many people in London outside of the university. The Students' Union I am personally not very well-informed on.
