It has been enjoyable. I think it’s a good university that is in the early days of this new course hence there are some areas for improvement. The city is great and very affordable for students to live in which makes a massive difference to how much you enjoy yourself.

For my course this is less applicable given that this is a vocational course to begin with. However I am aware of a career department within the SU for other courses which has a drop in for career advice. I know the job agency also offers out paid employment which can be used as work experience / placement e.g. marketing intern in a role in the SU to aid in gaining experience

I like that my course is an inter grated course, so from the beginning we are seeing patients and not separating the course out into clinical and ore clinical. I liked the CBL learning in the first two years of the course as this allowed exploration of areas of medicine in my own time and I think better learning as the interactive manner made me more likely to remember and synthesise information. However despite this I still think that there are gaps in my knowledge about things due to differences within case groups .

I think our SU is great! They have a fantastic building with lots of facilities including Y Plas which is the highlight of my uni experience. The building itself has lots to offer with shops, amenities, the Taf (pub), study spaces and more. In addition the services and advice they offer is good. I also love the Jobshop agency that they run, this is great and has really helped me to earn money and helped me through uni when I’ve been really poor. They offer really good work and pay fairly well.

They are OK. The gym is in an inconvenient location for the rest of the student population as it is in first year halls out of the way and it is also £200 up front which most students don’t have. The sports facilities are OK but not fantastic. The SU is great but this is fun separately. Library spaces are adequate but not modern and there is not enough library space with plugs come exam time.

Absolutely great. It is a really cheap city to live and enjoy yourself in. The local student area is great, it is buzzing and has loads of local businesses and restaurants springing up for very good prices! The city centre itself has great shopping and the nightlife is great but cheap

They are OK. AU membership is fairly expensive and not evenly distributed between clubs. But the societies I have joined have been really goodp

Academic support is a mixed bag - depends on who your tutors are but I have been fortunate with mine. Feedback is actually quite limited and rare on my course as you only get exam feedback. Some written feedback is provided but this often takes a long time to come through .

Hard work but rewarding

Studying medicine so hard to say
