Location: lots of the buildings are close together, easy to get to another lecture. Improvements: Bringing back the anonymous chat where u ask teachers questions throughout the lesson or just another way to be able to ask the teacher any enquires that is quick (not moodle though as everyone can see what u asked).

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.

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.

For someone who has to live for the first time away from their family, that too in a new country. Bangor really welcomed me with open arms. From International Student Staff to the fraternity, everyone is so sweet and helpful. I love that they make you feel at home. Even if you’ve the slightest doubt , they are there to help you with it. I’m happy that I’m surrounded by such great people.

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.

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

it is a very green campus with lovely up to date libraries and accommodation. it is close to town and the train station makes it easy to go southampton for a night out. unfortunately not a great nightlife, SU is good but queue for hours to get in, and no clubs in the town.

The best aspect is learning new skills everyday and enhancing my knowledge. The worst aspect of uni is not having a social life sometimes, as schedule can be quite full in regards to personal life aswell.

I like this university, everyone is friendly and the teachers are very supportive all the time. Im a young mom and also currently pregnant and the university have been doing everything they can to help me and provide all the support that i need and will need in the next few months. There are many student unions that you can join if you like being social and the facilities are great.

Studying sports psychology

A sports psychology degree will equip you with the tools to better understand the psychological side of sports performance and athletes’ mental health and wellbeing, with a view to optimising performance. It’s all about learning how professional sports players and athletes think. During the degree, you’ll cover areas like motivation, stress, confidence, pressure and anxiety to learn how sports performance can be both positively and negatively affected by internal and external factors, learning about different counselling techniques and research methods, as well as human anatomy and physiology. Graduates can work with athletes, teams and coaches as therapists and psychologists but can also look to become sports coaches, research specialists, physical therapists, sports rehab directors and lecturers, among other careers.
