What students say about theatre-dramatic-arts

So far, this University has treated me incredibly well. The staff have been amazing and each accommodation is in a safe place, even off campus. I’d definitely say that if you prefer a quiet place but still want a city, come here. It’s one of the calmest places I’ve ever lived and it has around 300 coffee shops so you’ll always have a place to study. Just be mindful of the busses, I lived in Stockbridge for the first semester and they were irregular. Either they don’t come on time or they don’t come at all, specifically to South Bank (so you’ll have to walk to Westgate Leisure Centre) but if it’s nice out, the walk through town is a lot better.

Novel educational techniques that train you to answer real world problems, providing good facilities for students. It provides so many facilities to students. The education system is based on individual learning experiences which can help students to develop their skills using all the facilities provided. In term of improvement there’s so many different cultures. If there’s more opportunities for students to mix and get to know each other it will be better.

The environment is great and there’s loads of support. The uni constantly asks for the student’s opinions on what they could do better and actually implement suggestions. It could maybe be improved if there where more help with job opportunities for international students who wish to stay in the uk and are unsure of their options.

The location is super nice with a beach near by and all uni buildings close together. The facilities the uni has to offer are good library, ravelin sport Center. The sport clubs available are extremely enjoyable. The welfare and student support is good but could be advertised a bit more often so everyone knows what’s available and where etc

What students say about theatre-dramatic-arts

My best experience at Ulster University when I started working here as Global Ambassador. I really appreciate that university offers part time to students and obviously it's a well paid job. We learn a lot about communication skill but I am delighted to see that students here at Ulster University can have this practical, hands on experience by working as Global Ambassador, Student Ambassador, Campus Ambassador. University also arranges job fairs, career fairs, various events so the students get opportunities to interact and build network connection with recruiters, fellow students, staffs and faculty members. Ulster University student portal has A 2 Z information for example if a student needs to have access to online publications for writing academic essays, they can easily use online library services in portal. No need to go to bank to pay fees, students can easily pay fees through portal. For international students, university have made available a very useful app called UUniready app. So any international student can get all details in the app that they are required to know before arriving about Belfast/Northern Ireland, University, collecting BRP, booking for accomodation, CELT session, orientation session. I would suggest all facilities should help their students to get placement/internship after completing their course. I have heard many students struggling with getting placement as they don't get that support from faculty. Most of the international students are new here, they don't know much people so I would suggest the facilities should help them to find a placement.

What students say about theatre-dramatic-arts

I love the university that I’m currently studying at, they are a small university so that means you can have 1on1 with your teachers as often as you need, the location is easy for me in Salford Manchester because it is close to a shopping centre, the course is really fun and the way they structure it and the teaching is very good with them being strict on you and the dead lines. I w having a blast at this uni with the class mates and the teachers, everyone is down to earth and I haven’t experienced any problems with it and I don’t think I will.

Overall not complaining I am satisfy with everything at the moment. It’s my first year but so far so good . As a student studying a foundation course I was afraid at first and even during the first week of class I was still afraid as the level of studies was different from college but teachers made sure we understand and provided us with many help

Nice modern music studios and lots of music practice rooms that are easy to book outside of lecture times for band practices/production sessions/recording sessions. The uni can be a bit slow with admin side of things (like timetables/finance) so I'd recommend being pro-active in those regards to make sure you are on top of things where possible. A decent amount of societies to get stuck into if you go to the fresher's fayre at the start of the year. However the student union bar is pretty dead other than on society nights.

I like the campus and professors. Food options are also great. I wish there were more events on campus that are not always fundraising because I feel like there are few free events and it’s hard for students who don’t have a lot of money.
