Communication and Media HND/HNC degrees in All England

One of the best aspects of studying at De Montfort University is the supportive and diverse environment. As an international student, I feel welcomed and included. The university has strong student support services, especially the Disability Advice and Support team, who are understanding and helpful. The MSc Project Management course is practical and career-focused. The modules are well-structured, and seminars encourage discussion and real-life application of concepts. The lecturers are approachable and provide useful feedback on assignments. Student life in Leicester is also a positive experience. The city is affordable compared to other UK cities, and everything is accessible. The campus facilities, including the library and study spaces, are modern and comfortable for independent learning. While the university offers good support, sometimes communication about attendance expectations and academic requirements could be clearer, especially for students managing health or personal challenges. In addition, more flexibility in seminar attendance for students with documented disabilities could make the experience less stressful. Providing recorded seminar discussions (where possible) would help students who occasionally cannot attend in person. Overall, De Montfort University is a supportive and career-oriented institution, but improving flexibility and communication would make it even better.

Best aspect is being so close to the city centre of Manchester. Worst aspect is there being no mixed accomodation to allow an easy way to chat to new people. Most people just sit in their rooms on their own

Careers goes above and beyond with creating network opportunities for peers, and online linked in courses are free with the university students. Academic workshops and Academic advisors are on hand for all students. LAUNCH is amazing space for start ups for students and alumini. Student Progression Advisors (SPAs) are amazing at liasong with disability, academics for interuption of studies, wellbeing support and wirth lecturers. Brilliant for those who are wanting a career change or wanting a top up year to go from level 5 to complete your full BA at level 6. Have 40 courses at Masters level that can provide you with a career change without having to have done a BA prior to this. You just need experience in the field, which you can be advised by the careers @salford team and may need to have done up to level 3 on some or level 4. For the university to have a disability team that has WRAPS in place from the get go, so once you start the uni you already have your accommodations in place in line with DSA and non DSA students, as there are many diagnosed and undiagnosed people. The Safe campus app covers all of the land the university owns to allow for safety for all of its students. More than one quiet relaxed area where you can relax and play with lego and colour and decompress. Liase more as a cohesive cross 6 schools and collaborate more with networks to great a greater alumini and experience for all students with different modules and create further specialisms at BA level. Their are kitchen areas in most if not all buildings, the food is very reasonably priced in the canteens £2 for a jacket potatoes and 2 fillings. Transport links are second to non, many car parks around the two main campuses, unsure about the Media City carpark, but the 50 bee bus network will allow you head from main campus across to media city for free (shuttle service). A little more information on how to balance projects/placements/work, we all undertake outside of uni or for extra with peers work life balance and experience would have been most useful on how to best approach the year ahead. Being able to have ago on technical side, events management, advisory, office dance sector job roles would have been useful, as a sign posting exercise, for the university to create partnerships with organisations for such roles for placements. Being able to do a placement in the 3rd year as an optional module for those who are coming to the BA to do a top up year. Dance lecturers are amazing, supportive and go above and beyond. Would be amazing I feel like there is more cohesion with music and dance departments, than there is with acting and dance department, which is a shame. There is a film and acting networking event, not one for dance and film or acting and dancing.

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.

After 4 years at Westminster Kingsway College, Victoria (including Level 3) I am delighted to say, it was the best time of my life. I developed and improved teamwork, communication and confidence for my future career. Impressive facilities to students on all levels were helping to make my education towards BA (Hons) Culinary Arts and Business Management the best achieving 2:1 and currently entering the final year of MSc at Greenwich University, Medway to study Food Safety and Quality Management. To all future students, please believe in yourself and carry on.
