Psychology foundation degrees in All England

University of Greenwich focuses a lot on diversity and inclusion. There are a lot of services available in relation to that, wellbeing, inclusion plans and other things to make your experience at the University more manageable/enjoyable. There are plenty of opportunities for learning and discovering and I have felt right at home from the beginning. I tend to feel like an outsider but the environment and support here has been great. I tend to be an independent worker and both during my masters and now during my PhD I have gotten plenty of opportunity to work both with others and to work by myself. This helped me develop better team working and working with others but given me the space to choose how much I want to do independently myself. One aspect I have had repeated issues with is the fact that the university's beaurocracy is a very slow progres and I have had to wait extended periods of time for replies or help with different things in relation to application, registration, feedback & hierarchical matters.

Teesside University is honestly a good place to study, especially if you’re doing something practical like engineering. The lecturers are approachable and actually try to help rather than just reading off slides. The course structure makes sense and there’s a good balance between theory and hands on work. The campus is easy to get around and the facilities are modern, especially the labs and library. There are plenty of study spaces and resources which help a lot during coursework and exams. Student support is decent too, particularly for international students and people coming through foundation routes.

The university is very good, it is unexpected, as I studied in a university in Pakistan, so the experience I had there, what I saw here, it is a very outstanding type of university, its location is very beautiful, apart from that, what is there is its lecture halls, its seminars and the staff of the international business management of this university, which are teachers, they are very good, they are cooperative, they deal with international students very well, the communication style is very good, along with that, the seminars and the first lectures are in the morning, there are seminars in the evening, it is a very outstanding type, it is a structure that has been created. The most important thing is that health issues are highlighted and preferred here, and there are many other facilities here that are for all kinds of people, and there are very unexpected things that I have seen here for the first time in my life in a university.

Support from tutors is phenomenal, with plenty of resources and facilities to complete our work. The campus itself however is relatively small in size and parking is quite a struggle during the busier days, with it also being paid. The building in some places is also very outdated and could do with being upgraded visually to be more modernised, but aside from that I cannot really complain.

I absolutely love the place and all it stands for. If I had my way, I would never leave! As a mature student, returning to education after an office based career, it has changed my life very much for the better. I have more confidence in myself and my own abilities than I have ever had. The course was not easy and I have never worked so hard on so many things at once, but all the hard work leads to huge satisfaction upon completion of it. A degree course is not for the faint hearted - you get out what you put in! I have nothing to compare Bishop Burton College with, I just know that I loved it and can’t wait to start my third year.
