- The campus is great - however, the student support in terms of academic is quite lacking - however the school readily listens to feedback and makes appropriate changes

- the unit coordinators are great but as we do seminars, we get different tutors and phd students who greatly vary in their teaching and thus affects the teaching quality that different students get. This would be what I’m most dissatisfied abt the school - the tutor contact time is also quite horrible in that tutors are only available around once a week which means sometimes I’ll have to wait 1 to 2 weeks to go through anything

- it is quite a shame that some students in my accommodation get very big kitchens while some, like me, get very cramped kitchens despite the fact we all pay the same price - the facilities are great - the property management is mediocre

The University of Bristol is a premier law school and I would invite students to apply to this university. It is ranked within the top 10 law universities in the UK and is favored by employers. There are three main benefits to studying here. First, the university's accommodation and private accommodation are closely located to the university and the city center of bristol. This makes traveling to and fro the university for lessons and meetups convenient. Second, there is an excellent student life here at the university. Occasionally, events curated by the various university-sanctioned societies would be broadcasted to the students. The events are open to the entire student body and the wide selection of events means that there is often something to do for everyone. It is a great opportunity to meet up and connect with different people. Further, the nightlife here is also vibrant. The bars and clubs here provide an avenue for relaxation during the holidays or weekends. Third, the university professors are also extremely helpful and would go the extra mile to help students. There is ample opportunity to clarify doubts with the professors through the booking of consultations or seeking clarifications on an online class forum. Despite the advantages that come with studying at the University of Bristol, I believe that the student experience here can be improved further. First, it would be good if the study areas had brighter lights so that studying would be more conducive. Second, it would also be an added benefit if there were more opportunities for students who would like to find work opportunities. I understand that there is an inherent difficulty in matching available work opportunities with students because of the student visa which mandates a maximum number of working hours a student can work during term time. Nonetheless, finding some part-time jobs for students which lasts for a few hours or jobs available to them during the holiday period would be of benefit to the student community. Part-time jobs impart soft skills to students and inculcate in them practical skills which can be used in the working world. Overall, the benefits of studying at the university far outweigh the cons- so, join us, and study here at Bristol.

The course was mainly taught in class for the year 2023. Often, there will be lessons posted on the university blackboard (a place where we access learning materials) for us to go through before a lecture or tutorial. These lessons are carefully organized to ensure that we have sufficient time to review, learn and absorb the information. The lessons are also quite engaging because different elements of teaching are infused into the curriculum. There will be video materials, carefully chosen written extracts, and even padlet discussions (a platform to pose questions) to aid our learning. Through engaging class materials, one can certainly learn better at one's pace and come prepared for lectures and tutorials. The lectures here are taught usually to a group of around 30 students. The style of teaching varies from professor to professor. In my opinion, the best part is that the lectures are also recorded, which means that if we miss something that was said during the lecture, we can always go back and review the material. Yet, lectures are often one-sided in the sense that the teachers will teach for a long period of time, leaving some time in the end for questions. Arguably, there is little interaction between the student and the lecturer. Nonetheless, the course is designed such that the interactions would be more pertinent during the tutorials. These tutorials are often student-led and require the student to prepare beforehand such that they will have the necessary information required to lead a class. The tutor during the tutorials would generally pose us problem questions to discuss during these tutorials and we are permitted to discuss in small groups before sharing our answers with the whole class. The only major downside is that the tutorials are not recorded. This means that if we are sick, we would, unfortunately, miss what was said during the tutorials. Aside from the downside of not having recorded tutorials, the mix of learning pedagogy definitely ensures that we learn in the best possible ways. The course hours are also kept to a maximum of 2 hours- which is an optimal time in my view because any longer and it would be an uphill task to concentrate well. There are also avenues for us to book consultation slots with the professor or to email them our questions for further clarification. Overall, the teaching style here is excellent in the sense that there are different styles of teaching which are promulgated and we are able to contact lecturers easily to clarify our doubts. The learning experience can be improved by recording the tutorials for students.
