University rating

Tell us about your overall university experience so far.

Overall it has been a bit of a shock to the system both good and bad. It took time to adjust and find a good rhythm but I have loved seeing how much I have grown and learned from this experience which if I think about has been within a relatively short time frame. I look forward to the future and seeing how I will change over the next coming years, who I will meet, what I will learn and just generally what this crazy new university life has to offer. It has been tough but I feel so privileged and proud to be given such an opportunity of education.

Facilities

How good are your university's facilities?

They are satisfactory. However, the library is very small and the gym doesn’t have sufficient equipment.

Student support

How good is the support offered by the uni? Think both academic (tutors/feedback) and personal (counselling, etc).

Tutors don’t really offer any support and I’d say feedback is minimal. Counselling is there if you need it.

Students' union

What do you think of your Students' Union in terms of student representation and facilities?

I think we have a good system whereby we have students who ask for our feedback in order to make improvements however perhaps there could be an area where people can leave feedback as opposed to questionnaires being sent as only some individuals respond to this.

Local life

Is your university in a good location in terms of distance to accommodation and local amenities?

The university is at a fairly good distance. I would say perhaps the information given originally was a little misleading as it takes 30mins when walking slowly and 20-25 of walking at a fast pace. All in all though yes I would say so.

Societies and Sports

How would you rate the variety of societies/sports?

There is a vast array of societies and sports to suite a wide range of different individuals. However, I think price is the main issue as I have met many individuals who cannot afford to do the things they love so perhaps there could be a way of making some societies more accessible.

Lecturers and teaching quality

What do you like most and least about the way your course(s) are taught?

I like how echo allows us to review lectures and go over bits we missed. I think it would be useful if perhaps we had access to a summary sheet of info for lectures and a quiz after each topic which focuses on the learning objectives that we could take as many times as we needed to help us see if we are on track.

How many contact hours per week do you have?

15-20

Career prospects

How does your uni make efforts to increase your employability (careers department, work placements, transferable skills)?

During freshers fair one could sign up to wider veterinary organisations to be given opportunities to branch out e.g. in the workforce and gain experience and more applicable knowledge.
