Best Ascpects: Great location in rural setting means you are surrounded by the outdoors and on-site farm, a really healthy environment to study. Being a small university, there is a real sense of community. Worst Aspects: Since joining in 2018, the students Union has become more restrictive towards clubs/societies and events so th quality of social events is not what it used to be.

Smaller class size relative to other universities mean you have a close relationship with lecturers and staff, you feel like a part of the Harper community and have plenty of support. Compulsory placement year was a great learning opportunity where you get to work as a professional in industry. This benefits your knowledge and work ethic heading into final year(s) of study. Practical approach to teaching with excellent workshop facilities and staff important in becoming an industry-ready engineer. Also great links with industry that support group projects. However, workload required between modules with same credit value is unbalanced. For example large engineering design projects can be worth as much as a single business related assignment despite contributing equally to your degree.

Excellent value for money in catered accommodation, 3 good size meals a day. Good sized rooms with modern shared bathrooms. WiFi on campus is fast There are shared kitchens on each floor for cooking on the weekend when the canteen is shut. Social room on the first floor was great for playing games as a house.
