OVERALL UNIVERSITY RATING
Tell us about your overall university experience so far.
My overall university experience has been a world wind. The staff here are phenomenal with dealing with us, especially when we are stressed. I have several issues myself, in regards to my health, and my tutor is ace with dealing with it, along with other lecturers and teaching staff, offering me extra support with the work that I may have missed.
Job Prospects
How does your uni make efforts to increase your employability (careers department, work placements, transferable skills)?
Lots of transferable skills, assessments are varied; powerpoints, essays, literature reviews, exams, practicals etc. The course offers me lots of different career opportunities ranging from teaching to nutritionist.
Course and Lecturers
What do you like most and least about the way your course(s) are taught?
Attendance I like the least about the course, we get murged with other courses due to our small group size, however, most people don't turn up therefore the lectures and seminars are cancelled.
There are many things I like about the course, the most probably the different variety of work and subjects that are offered to us.
How many contact hours per week do you have?
11
Students' Union
What do you think of your Students' Union in terms of student representation and facilities?
The look of our student union is brilliant, open late nights and puts events on for the freshers. However, the sporting side of it, I do not feel welcome. I play hockey for a very high level, I began training for the uni team and after I suffered a dislocated hip, the would not accept me back to training or to represent them.
Uni Facilities
How good are your university's facilities?
Due to the sport that I play, they are brilliant. They have a full sized astro pitch. However, the other facilities are brilliant for the course that I am studying, the equipment is phenomenal and in superb condition.
Local life
Is your university in a good location in terms of distance to accommodation and local amenities?
Considering Middlesbrough is a town, the night life is brilliant, little drama and always have a good laugh and a good night out. The shopping facilities are also really good, with a wide variety of different shops and different things to do such as Lane 7, Escape Rooms and Hollywood Bowl.
Societies and Sports
How would you rate the variety of societies/sports?
Hm. Clubs. As I have previously mentioned, the club I was hoping to join did not accept me back after my injury. Therefore, I do not play for any other clubs or societies.
Student Support
How good is the support offered by the uni? Think both academic (tutors/feedback) and personal (counselling, etc).
Brilliant. I have had to have an extension on my work due to me needing spinal surgery, my tutor and the student support team have been brilliant in helping me in every way that they could. The feedback that we receive for our work is detailed and gives us a better understanding of where we went wrong with our work.
