Best aspects: My overall experience has been very positive. The lecturers are approachable and genuinely supportive, and the modules are designed in a way that pushes you to think creatively while also giving you practical, real-world skills. The campus has a welcoming atmosphere and it’s easy to meet people from different backgrounds, which makes it feel like a strong community. The support services for international students are also a huge plus – from visa guidance to helping with part-time work rules, it has made the transition smoother. Worst aspects / Improvements: Accommodation can sometimes feel a little basic compared to the price, and there could be more frequent cleaning/maintenance checks. Wi-Fi stability on campus and in some halls could be improved, especially for students who rely heavily on online resources. I also think more industry-linked workshops, guest lectures, and networking events would add great value for students preparing for future careers. Overall: It’s a great place to study if you’re looking for a supportive environment, diverse community, and opportunities to grow academically and personally. With a few improvements in facilities and more career-oriented events, the experience would be even better.

Best aspects: The course is very engaging and encourages us to combine creativity with technical skills. Lecturers are approachable and supportive, always open to feedback, and they guide us well through both theory and practical projects. I appreciate the mix of in-class teaching, workshops, and independent project work, which allows us to develop at our own pace while also collaborating with others. The focus on real-world applications and portfolio development makes it very relevant for future careers in the gaming and creative industries. Worst aspects / Improvements: Sometimes, I feel there could be more structured guidance on software tools and industry workflows, especially for students coming from non-technical backgrounds. More guest lectures or networking events with industry professionals would also make the course even stronger, as it would help us connect our academic learning with the realities of the gaming industry. Course hours can occasionally feel packed into certain days, so a more balanced weekly distribution might also help. Overall: It’s a fantastic course that helps you build both creative confidence and practical game design skills. With a bit more industry exposure and technical training, it would be nearly perfect.

Its amazing

The best part about CCCU is the support system. Whenever there is a work or personal issue, staff and students around you are instantly willing to help or simply listen which is so friendly and reassuring! It makes the class environment positive and if you live away from home it can help boost your mental health knowing that the uni and its people are round the corner. One thing that could be improved is the way students are introduced to uni exams. As a student rep for my class I have seen that everyone struggles to meet deadlines but also that there is not much information given to start with, so students are left in the dark.

The best part about my course is the content and the help within it. Each workshop is so engaging and interesting, with the tutors able to communicate and joke easily with the students, making stressful parts of the module easier to swallow. On top of this the blend of online pebble pad and in person lectures is really stimulating, it helps to get us working outside of lessons. One thing that can be improved could be the contact hours, with only three days or in person lectures and three hours per module, it would be nice if we could have more time with each module per week incase some of us didn’t quite understand the lesson.

The thing I like most about Lanfranc is the community aspect. In these halls you are able to develop a family through the flats within your block and it’s so wonderful! Doing this allowed me to share moments with them like little dinners or going out, making it an easier transition away from my family. One thing I would improve about Lanfranc is the initial quality of the flats. Upon first arrival the flats had not been cleaned very well and many of our facilities were not working and still don’t, such as the cooker and fan, and originally the bathroom fan. This led to a lot of stress initially and dampened many of our spirits.
