What students say about sound-recording

The most positive point is the student support, so many ways to reach out for help regarding your studies and future carrer plans! In terms of student life I feel that while the university has a strong international presence, its student body is less nationally diverse compared to other universities, where international enrolment is spread across a wider range of countries.

Best thing is the fantastic 24/7 library that's not just resourceful but also incredibly welcoming with even overnight snacks there for those who spend their time at the library at night! I wish the university had more student accommodation on offer for the international students.

What students say about sound-recording

There are excellent lecturers and student support services (particularly academic skills). The campus has a good feel and has a lot of outdoor seating which will be nice when the weather is warm. Lecture rooms are good but the seats are very uncomfortable. There is little impact from the students' union, for example there was no 'refreshers fayre' for January intake students, which also impacts the student life score.

What students say about sound-recording

I’ve been going to ACM since 2023, at first for my diploma, and currently on it for my degree. The facilities have continued to improve over time with rooms constantly getting refurbished with more facilities and options, studio rooms getting new and improved speakers, 5.1 and atmos sound systems and new gear getting brought in. Recently ACM has also partnered with Nord which have me the chance to use their top of the line synths such as the Grand 4, Piano 6 and Electro 3 which were absolutely insane to use.
