Criminology foundation degrees in North West England

Facilities (5) - I truly believe that my degree is perfectly accommodated for just by looking at the facilities on offer. Not only that, but the actual hive bar is brilliant and there is lots of space for everyone. Location (3) - Although the building itself looks fabulous where it is, to get there you have to cross a very busy main road that sometimes can be dangerous and with it being outside of the AO arena, it makes it hard being there when a concert or show is on. With that being said however, the fact it is barely a 10 minute walk from Victoria station makes it very easy for me as a commuter. Student Support (4) - I believe that UCEN goes above and beyond when trying to support students, particularly with their schemes on offer to help those less financially stable. The only thing I’d say is maybe make it a bit more obvious where to access these support by putting posters up around the campus. Campus Look and Feel (5) - It is clear that there has been a lot of work gone into the campus itself which makes it a really beautiful and welcoming place to be. The campus actually featured on the latest season of Waterloo Road so I am pretty sure that this only goes to show how incredible it is. Student Life (4) - As far as I am aware, as a commuter student, the campus is brilliant for somebody like me as I can easily get there everyday providing the trains are running, but I do feel that with the location of the campus, students find it relatively difficult to find accommodation on offer around it, and therefore, this can make it difficult for students to really get to grips with student life when not being close to the campus or city centre. Students Union (5) - The students union is always thriving, there is always something going on that they have put together in the hive, and it is really a pleasure to get involved in these things and take a break from the degree for a moment. Whether that be painting or putting on a movie night, they really do go above and beyond. They also promote our concerts and events which is lovely to see.

Best - The food is Very good, The behaviour of Staff is decent, The students are sometimes a pain in the backside but most of them are nice, the outside area is pretty good, the location could be a little bit better but it's good, the courses in college are also good, I would personally say that Blackburn College is a good college to go to, however It has some disadvantages such as the way and the behaviour of some staff towards students and students behavior towards staff. Another disadvantage Could be the wait for your food as there is too many students trying to get a drink / food (I would recommend that 1st years, 2nd years and etc get a different break as this would decrease the wait time) the Atmosphere of college is good, The health and Safety in Blackburn is also good but it could improve a little bit by the security of the gates for students and staff since some people (that don't have a lanyard) they may enter the college area whilst be able to have full access to the area that is off limits to people that aren't students / staff I would recommend that, some students can make their own group (no bad ones, just kind ones) as maybe this option may let students to be more creative and to have a chance for becoming a powerful person.

When doing certain apprenticeship schemes, you only spend the one day in uni a week with half of your cohort. This is different fron most standard uni's as you don't get that same social experience. On a positive note, the one on one time you get with your lecturers is great with a small class size really helps you to learn/ understand the course material.
