Youth Work degrees in Southern England

The best aspect for me is the location. I love being so close to Brighton and Stanmer park. There have been times where I have felt I could use with more support/ input from lecturers or tutors this term and I have felt very overwhelmed and burnt out adjusting to the new style of learning. Maybe for the first term students could receive more guidance if they feel necessary?

The activities organised by the school for MBA students is impeccable. From industry seminars, to skills workshops and immersive group bonding events it’s truly been amazing. One area of improvement would be for the school to partner with institutions for secure placement opportunities for their students, especially international students so their learning experience is robust and seamless.

Brighton University is very welcoming and the campus is situated close to the city centre with lots of public transport access. It is, however, a very expensive place to live especially with housing and accommodation. Lecturers are very supportive and, in my experience, will organise 1-2-1 meetings to go over content if required/requested. The uni also has great support concerning job applications (for undergraduate and graduate roles). Some uni buildings could do with a bit of renovation but the newer buildings have great facilities.

Good connections around the city with jobs and specialists coming in. Most staff are kind and care about the students and what they are teaching, however some staff make helping you seem like an inconvenience which can be a problem.

WIFI is absolutely awful and there are many dead zones around campus. How can a top-level engineering university provide such poor internet connection, especially when all of our assignments are internet based and due online? I am constantly searching for places around campus with any useable connection and the VPN speeds when you're off campus are just unusable. It's the year 2024. How have we not figured this out yet? It's absolutely unaccusable. You have the money to build an entire new campus, but can't fix the internet at your main campus? Awful.

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.

Best aspects: The university offers a supportive learning environment with approachable, knowledgeable lecturers and engaging course content that links theory to real-world practice. There is a strong sense of community among students, and access to learning resources is very good. Areas for improvement: Communication around deadlines, placements, and administrative processes could be clearer and more consistent. Earlier information and more streamlined systems would help reduce stress and improve the overall student experience.

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.
