Facilities
How good are your university's facilities?
An excellent library with brilliant and helpful staff who are all experts in their subject and willing to guide you. There are also very well equipped simulation labs which have enhanced my learning experience.
Student support
How good is the support offered by the uni? Think both academic (tutors/feedback) and personal (counselling, etc).
The support I have received from my tutors has been overwhelming. There is also a developing PAL system throughout the university.
Students' union
What do you think of your Students' Union in terms of student representation and facilities?
I have not been involved with the SU and do feel this is one area that the UoB could improve. I feel loyal to my course rather than my SU.
Local life
Is your university in a good location in terms of distance to accommodation and local amenities?
Luton is a bit of a dive but is surrounded by nicer areas. I don't go clubbing so I wouldn't be a fair judge.
Societies and Sports
How would you rate the variety of societies/sports?
Having not been involved with any of these I can't say.
Lecturers and teaching quality
What do you like most and least about the way your course(s) are taught?
The course content is rigorous and is taught by passionate and knowledgeable lecturers.
Career prospects
How does your uni make efforts to increase your employability (careers department, work placements, transferable skills)?
My course has excellent links with my placement area and I am confident that with a midwifery degree from the University of Bedfordshire I will be able to get a job in the sort after industry.
University halls
What do you think about the safety, condition, location and cost of your accommodation?
Whilst the new student accommodation is very nice there are some old sites which are not. It is run by an independent company so my problem is with them not the university.
