Really nice place that cares about students in all aspects

A lot of support but could do with more one to one tutor time , however I understand why it’s hard

I love my degree. The lecturers are fantastic, knowledgeable and supportive. I love my subject and the freedom this course gives me to explore it. The block learning structure makes assessments more manageable. The assessments are often really open ended, allowing for you to research and write about your interests. It's really helped me to realise exactly what career path I want to follow. Theyre always advertising internships and paid work opportunities in a variety of fields and they provide plenty of opportunities for CPD for free. They have lots of services such as the careers team and 121 library support which are fantastic. UOS isn't much of a party school- Ipswich has an awful nightlife. It's definitely a different experience to some of the bigger unis, but I've met some awesome people of all ages and backgrounds. I would recommend this course, definitely!

I did a placement module in my second year, which was great. The communities and Social practices module allowed us to be trained in first aid and even beginner BSL. It looks great on my CV and let me gain first hand experience in my field. The lectures are in person and 2-3 hours long, which can be challenging but there are usually breaks. The course has 3 days at uni and two days off, which was great for getting work experience. On its own, this degree doesn't lead to much, but it's a great Foundation for further learning or career development.
