Supporting Learning foundation degrees

a lovey campus and area for people not big on huge city universities, however the course has now been axed, meaning my year will miss out on key features due to no new year of students arriving next year

i have come back into education after 2 years and the college has supported me through my foundation degree. it has given me that confidence and being able to believe in myself and do the best of my ability.

Support Services are amazing. They go out of their way to support my peers and me. They are a credit to the university. - Lecturers are very supportive, especially with assignments University halls are in desperate need of refurbishing. Harry Law, Bateson and Rees are the main offenders. Generally, the university's estates need investment.

I attended this university for my undergraduate degree over a decade ago, and I cherished my experience then just as much as I do now. Currently, I find myself in a different phase of life as a mature student with a young family. Nevertheless, I believe that the student experience and facilities continue to meet my needs, even as they differ from those I had during my undergraduate studies. Across all campuses, the staff are exceptionally friendly and welcoming. The environment is clean and well-maintained, fostering a strong sense of pride among both students and staff. Overall, the university feels safe and inclusive. I wouldn't say there is a worst aspect of my university experience, as I feel it meets my expectations at this stage in my career and life.

The course is taught by amazing lecturers, who are kind and always there to help, however the course is not managed by the best people, and this leads to a lot of poor choices done regarding the course such as the contest which is being taught (with actual lectures, having no say in it) or for example the number of students/ level of students that are in the class. Currently the head of business has decided to add a whole class (+30) of foundation students with year 1 students (level 4) at the start of January without any warning before . This has negatively impacted level 1 students, as the content being shared is not the best, neither are the paste of lectures as the foundation student take too long to complete simple activities that year 1 students complete in minutes. Although year 1 students have expressed their feelings about this to lecturers and the head of business, the head of business refuses to split the class in 2, with excuses that there are not enough free classrooms, which is not true. Further, sad to say this, but my amazing lecturers now seem worried to bring issues up to the heads of business as they could get in trouble or fired. Very unethical and unprofessional. Will be changing universities next year
