What students say about youth-work

The careers team is amazing at posting job listings. They are so proactive in getting you the right support and I love that about them. And I think the structure of some teaching material could be improved with bringing the right balance of AI into studies

What students say about youth-work

The social life is absolutely fantastic, although certain classrooms and paths are very difficult to access when wheelchair bound, and sometimes the surrounding area is hard to access in a wheelchair, although staff are as helpful as possible. The lecturers are very friendly and understanding of situations when you can’t make it to classes and the sudent life team are excellent help when you need it. There are always events on to get to know people or hang out with friends you’ve made that are on campus and affordable.

What students say about youth-work

From the excellent facilities to the strong support system and nature-driven environment, choosing Edge Hill University was one of the best decisions I’ve made. The experience has shaped my perspective and deepened my passion for innovation, which is a core aspect of my profession. Support was always within reach, and the quality of teaching made a lasting impact, fueling my enthusiasm for Android development. This, in turn, inspired me to start a product with a friend—one we hope to bring to the public in the coming years. The location isn't at the heart of the city, so commuting to school was a bit challenging for me.

What students say about youth-work

Based on my time here, the University of Huddersfield is an excellent choice if you're looking for a career-focused degree and a supportive learning environment. The standout feature is definitely the teaching quality, backed by the Gold TEF rating, as nearly all my lecturers were genuine experts who were passionate and approachable. The modern, compact campus is a big plus—everything is central, from the state-of-the-art library (great during exam season!) to the specialist labs, and the fact that Huddersfield itself is a really affordable student town makes a huge difference. While the local nightlife might not rival a big city like Manchester, the focus on practical skills, the strong emphasis on industry placements, and the overall sense of community made my experience highly rewarding and put me in a great position for my career.

What students say about youth-work

As a part time student, I do not feel able to fully comment on aspects of student life, and I never really needed to engage with the Students Union, but I had a positive feeling about both. I could not fault the support of the wonderful tutors, who helped me through family and medical issues, to get my degree. They sometimes seemed to be having as many difficulties navigating the computer system, as myself. This was nothing to do with computer literacy. There seemed to be issues with the network itself.

What students say about youth-work

For what Bournemouth lacks in name it makes up for it with the great student support and environment of the university. Every staff member and facilities are easy to access or talk to. The career hub is super useful and honestly a massive positive, not to mention the very efficient medical center and student union finance support team for students. The bursaries are generous in my opinion and I honestly could not have made it otherwise. The pastoral care is unmatched in my opinion. Safety on campus is great. the student union always has stuff going on, ALWAYS, like a bread and bakery stall on some mornings, lots of international events too, being from France it made me feel quite at home at time. The teaching isn't awful, not the best either, maybe it's my course, but the option and units are interesting. The university reputation is average at best, but like I said they make up for it in other ways. The area is nice, it's a student town, with the beach, I personally like it, and the transport system is very very reliable and efficient.

The library is amazing with 3 floors hundreds of books and computers better than most universities. all buildings are good with a modern feel. In my opinion The only way it could be improved is the toilets in some buildings. The campus has an earthy feel with the grass sections and green on the buildings.

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?
