Teaching In Schools degrees in North East England

So close to the train station so really easy access - all buildings are relativity close to each other at city campus so it’s not a big issue if your next class is in a different building. Most of the lecturers are very helpful and especially in my course there is a couple who you can really tell love their job and what they are doing and have so much knowledge which is inspiring! Definitely things to be improved - some of gaps between lecture or seminars and also the timings can be frustrating. It makes it difficult to work alongside the course especially if you are commuting in. It comes down to having to prioritise which might not always be able to be university. They are not check ins with you either and if there is a problem I don’t think they solve it well.

The student report is great and really accessible for all different types of issues and problems you may need. Some of the buildings look quite dull, I would like if the lecture rooms had more windows.

From my perspective of being a student at coventry university id like to say how good the physical location and quality of all the facilites are. the design, layout, and ease of access for botth the engineering building and the library are excillent, student life here is great too, i currently live in a rental-based accommodation with 4 people, and it works quite well. Personally I couldnt fault the university with anything as I believe it is perfectly equipped to fullfil all its students needs.

The best is the way its made me more confident in my art and made me embrace methods id previously rejected and made me consider more ways I can make a career in art than tattooing and allowed me to use resources id want to use after like risoprinting has become of particular interest. The worst is probably the vagueness of assignments sometimes and I tend to worry Im doing the wrong thing, but I have plenty of tutors I can talk to about this.

City campus in the heart of the city easy to get too and lots of places in the city to have fun. The teachers give a lot of support during lessons and outside. Classes are detailed and focused on our understanding. The students are all friendly and help eachother.

You can improve the university name board for outsiders by making it much larger so students can find the university more easily. And the best experience is that all staff members are very supportive and very kind.

One of the best parts of my university experience has been the supportive learning environment. The lecturers are knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely invested in student success. The course content is well structured and relevant to real-world applications, which has helped me build practical skills alongside academic knowledge. Access to online learning resources and flexible study options has also made it easier to balance studies with other commitments. Overall, the university provides a diverse and inclusive community that makes it a great place to learn and grow. Some modules could benefit from quicker feedback on assignments, as timely feedback is important for improvement. Additionally, increasing opportunities for hands-on projects, industry engagement, and career guidance would further enhance the student experience.

The university has great teaching quality and lecturers truly spend time with each student, getting to know their skills and how to support them. Societies could do with some extra pizazz as there aren’t many general ones, though they are run by students so you and your friends can start one! The library is a very calming space, especially silent study on the top floor, I find it best to focus there. There is always seating available on this floor - middle is busiest. The student union is quite bad because it’s small and basically just toilets and a cafe, there isn’t much space inside at all and doesn’t act as a student hub. Holgate feels more like the student union somehow. Support is always available both study support and well-being support with around a 1 month wait when I visited (short compared to the 3 months at my previous university). Extensions on assessments are well-allocated if you are struggling in any way. Emails are responded to suitably quick as you would expect. Massive downside is the lack of parking for commuting students. They give out more permits than spaces (or so it looks) and I can never get parked. Majority of York is permitted and car parks extremely expensive. Added parking space is a must. All in all this university is still 100 times better than my first university where I dropped out due to constant errors and lack of support despite being a Russel group uni. If you want good teaching and support, come to York St John. The staff is the best thing here.
