Youth Work degrees

Best aspect: the fact that the library has a zine maker space, the various study areas, my accommodation is on campus, I like the societies, the teachers are very nice Worst aspect: all the vending machines/cafes/convenience stores on campus are wildly overpriced, so much reading.

best aspect is that it is a small and friendly campus where places are easy to find the library is a good resource however it could be more helpful for it to stay open later as people like to study later in the evening

One of the best aspects of studying at Wrexham University is the supportive learning environment. Academic staff are approachable, encouraging, and always willing to give guidance, whether it’s about assignments, understanding complex topics, or planning for future career goals. The university creates a friendly atmosphere where students feel valued and confident to ask for help. I also appreciate the diverse student community. Meeting people from different cultural and professional backgrounds has broadened my perspectives and helped me develop stronger teamwork and communication skills. The university’s flexible teaching methods and practical learning activities make the course engaging and closely connected to real-world situations. Additionally, the student services, including library support, career guidance, and wellbeing resources, are very helpful. They make it easier to balance studies, personal life, and future career planning. --- Areas for Improvement Although my experience has been positive overall, there are a few areas that could be improved. At times, communication about timetable changes or online session links could be clearer and more consistent, especially for part-time and international students who rely heavily on emails and the student portal. Some facilities, such as study spaces and digital resources, could also be expanded to accommodate busy periods during assignment deadlines. Improving these would make learning even smoother for students. --- Overall Wrexham University offers a welcoming, supportive, and practical learning experience. With a few improvements in communication and facilities, it could become even better for future students.

With the SMT once again announcing a detrimental restructure to the university, roughly around 300 teaching staff are being threatened with redundancies if they are viewed as not making a 'valuable' contribution to Goldsmiths. A vast majority of departments have been threatened with teaching and module cuts, including English, once again. It is ironic that they are saying they want to make back/ save around 20 million, yet they are looking to have an AI centre whilst neglecting the humanities departments that reside at the very heart of Goldsmiths. They do not have much care for practising free speech on campus as the SMT wanted to 'arrest' the group of us that had 1.) occupied a building on campus in protest against the way the university has conducted their weak response to the ongoing genocide in Palestine and 2.) those that actually took part in the protests that occurred on campus. How can you label your university as a 'creative powerhouse' and a 'melting pot' of ideas when you've conducted yourself in such a backward manner? The welfare team has little regard for you. I had applied for a hardship bursary, yet I was met with a foodbank voucher that could only be used on the week it was issued and for a place that was miles away from accom and only open for 4 hours on a Friday. Do not come to this uni if you are seeking a place that values academic integrity and the preservation of your course; alongside your welfare as a student. It's a shock that they can even call themselves an institution.

I find the location, community and campus feel very peaceful and relaxing, and the education provided is good quality and varied. There could be more support for students who struggle to fit in with the student body, e.g., more help and encouragement to join societies or opportunities to socialise with peers.

The University offers state of the art facilities and faculty and striving hard to let the student have great experience of university life. I would request to collaborate with industries and help international student gain internships and part time work experience current career space is not that collaborative with industries or one on one with students effectively. Rest a great learning experience highly recommended.

The staff and students around the campus are always so welcoming and friendly. It really makes me enjoy where I’m studying. I think something that could be improved is the university’s response to student based issues.

Well first of all it is really cold and it gets dark early, which I am not used to, but in general it is located in a fairly calm city (Treforest), now about the university of south Wales Treforest campus, my first experience was that of a good and welcoming environment! The lecture halls are top notch and the facilities are also excellent, these facilities include projectors, microphones and all round camera monitoring systems! This is a huge step up from my experience in my bachelor’s program! I am indeed very happy and excited ! The lecturers take time to cater for the individual needs of each student which is amazing!
