What students say about dance

The teaching is extremely high quality. Before coming to Bolton, I spent two years at Swansea University, and the quality of teaching at Bolton far exceeds Swansea. Largely due to financial issues, its difficult to properly experience the student life, though from other students whom are more active, it seems fairly lively. Being a first year degree apprentice, the pay is not great at £7.12 an hour, which had been a huge concern at multiple points during my time with the university, however, the support from the university and the lecturers has gone above and beyond for me. With regards to improvements, this could be done through simply making the course sign on process easier and more linear for apprentices, as currently the use of Aptem and Moodle as two separate methods of adding students to the course makes it quite convoluted. There is also an obscene number of papers to sign. Though, that being said, the university has consistently asked for feedback, and is seemingly taking on board students concerns, which is very positive. Bolton University is also located extremely ideally for students who travel in from around the UK, only a ten minute walk from the station. This convenience, and the plethora of local food shops and take aways make it very easy to keep a healthy lifestyle, even if you don't have time to make lunch in the mornings. Though my experience of Bolton university has been short, I am very excited with my future prospects and continuing my education at the university.
