MSc Healthcare Management and Leadership (online)

Bristol, UWE

The newer buildings are incredible and have really cool facilities. The older buildings may need to be renovated (our roof was leaky).

I completed my undergraduate here and due to my positive experience, I returned for my Master's. The lecturers are very supportive, they are always happy to help when I have questions about assessments or career concerns. I feel I have a positive relationship with a few lecturers who I can talk to if I need any support while here. I also find university stimulating here, being challenged but also having an enjoyable learning experience. I do get a bit lonely at university sometimes, this is not a reflection of the university, it can just be a bit isolating being away from family for long periods of time. Overall I have a very positive experience however.

The universe is very keen on the students development while providing the best support and assistance needed, good facilities with overall convenience and feel.

I found the lecturers to be kind, compassionate and consistent. I feel that they are supportive. The worst aspect is the organisation of lecture and seminars. I have found the timetable confusing and it often changes. This causes me stress.

UWE is a place where everyone is welcome. The learning community is made up of learners of many different ages, ethnicities and identities, and so it feels very much an inclusive place. The teaching staff are accessible and supportive, non-academic staff provide loads of support on loads of issues. I was surprised to be telephoned after I had submitted an application for an extension when my mum passed away....to check how I was, was I ok, did I need any other support. It meant a lot. Staff also contact people when their engagement has dropped off to check they're ok. Wellbeing is constantly addressed and extra supportive moves have been made during pandemic and now during cost-of-living crisis, with extra funds, warm spaces, routinely provided reduced cost/free food and free hot drinks. At the Glenside campus where the atmosphere feels particularly community-like, the library staff have made a cosy, calm wellbeing space with sofas, books (fiction, hobbies, self-care and self-help), plants, a jigsaw and mindful colouring. I suppose there are always things that could improve. The pace that learning has to happen at these days feels sooooo fast, and the induction/starting block at the beginning of each academic year to help people find their feet and get to grips with the course/university/tech etc has meant inevitably that the semesters are then even further condensed. Perhaps this increases rather than reduces pressure in some ways.
