What students say about social-studies

University of Worcester is friendly and inviting , the green spaces are brilliant and really bring a sense of zen to uni life. The students union has a lot to offer and are very supportive. Aswell as this the hangar has everything you need for socialising. The support of staff is second to none . The only thing I would say is the parking is very expensive and sometimes I would prefer all of my course related lectures on one campus rather than split across two

What students say about social-studies

I was in the Bedford campus and the student life was limited. This was because many people travelled into uni from their homes. The student union was great at providing activities in the afternoons/ evenings. They also support students. all you have to do is email them or go to social events.

What students say about social-studies

Earlier in my degree there was a lot of uncertainty within the forensic cohort especially surrounding lecturer instability. We still see it now with lecturers having to teach modules that are not related to their dedicated area. However, this has not impeded my request for help and support from them but it would be useful to allocate staffing with the school of psychology to their specific area of expertise. From a student welfare perspective…the services are accessible and easy to access. They have helped me tremendously through hard times of student and balancing external family commitments.

Studying at Birmingham City University in the Curzon building is great because of the modern facilities, comfortable study spaces, and central location, which makes everything convenient. It could be improved by adding more quiet study areas during busy times and better communication about timetable updates.

More vegan food on campus would be appreciated but there are options. Changes to the way wellbeing works has made things difficult, for me. Support from PAT has been great but Support from studentzone/wellbeing less so. Easy access location, on a unesco site, which is such a privilege.

What students say about social-studies

It’s a great place to study because the academic environment is supportive, the teaching quality is strong, and there are plenty of opportunities to grow through projects, events, and collaboration with classmates. The campus community also makes it easy to feel included and motivated. It could be improved by streamlining administrative processes, offering clearer communication, and reducing unnecessary bureaucracy. More practical learning opportunities and better support during exam periods would also make a big difference.

What students say about social-studies

One of the best parts of studying at Roehampton University is the friendly and supportive environment. The lecturers explain topics clearly and are always willing to help when students have questions. The campus is peaceful, with good facilities like the library, study rooms, and social spaces, which makes it a comfortable place to learn. I also enjoy meeting classmates from different countries and backgrounds because it helps me learn new ideas and understand different cultures. The teaching style at Roehampton makes learning easier and more enjoyable. Seminars and group activities help me understand the lessons better, and the coursework is practical, helping me connect what I learn to real-life situations. I feel that the university encourages students to think independently and build confidence. Overall, I feel supported in my studies, and this has helped me grow both academically and personally. Even though my experience has been positive, there are some areas that could improve. Sometimes the workload feels heavy, especially when deadlines are close together. Communication about certain tasks or readings can be unclear at times. More career support, part-time job opportunities, and more flexible timetables would also make things easier for students. However, these challenges are common in most universities, and Roehampton still offers a good overall student experience.
