Tell us about your overall university experience so far.
I came to Leeds Beckett on the open day and fell in love with it immediately and became my first choice university. I am pleased with most aspects of the university, however Leeds as a city can't compare to London!
Facilities
How good are your university's facilities?
The facilities are good but for a sports uni there could be a better gym. The
sports facilities are fantastic but the actual gym isn't air conditioned and is
quite small. However there is a full sized running track, tennis courts, a
swimming pool and a climbing wall so overall it is good.
Student support
How good is the support offered by the uni? Think both academic (tutors/feedback) and personal (counselling, etc).
The support is really good. there is a residential officer for every student resident
building who offer pastoral support etc. there are great services for disabled
people and those with learning difficulties and the personal tutors are fantastic.
Students' union
What do you think of your Students' Union in terms of student representation and facilities?
The students union is good. It’s easy to get involved with stuff and there’s loads
of events on. Drinks and food in the union bar are also well priced for students
and pretty good.
Local life
Is your university in a good location in terms of distance to accommodation and local amenities?
Leeds is a nice city good clubs but not enough pubs! There are loads of clubs
all fairly close together which is convenient. Also there is a big shopping centre
which is good and cheap good places to eat. (Nando’s, Reds Buffet etc).
Societies and Sports
How would you rate the variety of societies/sports?
I am joining a society at leeds Beckett but in my opinion the range for non
sport related clubs is poor. For sport clubs and societies there is plenty but
very few others.
Lecturers and teaching quality
What do you like most and least about the way your course(s) are taught?
The course here is really catered for students who wish to specialise in music production. However, I wish there were optional modules to cover performance if students wish to still perform music.
Career prospects
How does your uni make efforts to increase your employability (careers department, work placements, transferable skills)?
There is a bunch of help with finding part time work and many courses feature
a year working in the industry. Other than that there is an annual careers
event that focuses on career prospects and for working throughout uni there is
plenty of support as well as jobs available to students on campus.
University halls
What do you think about the safety, condition, location and cost of your accommodation?
Good because I am right next to my classes. There is a pretty good variety of
accommodation at Leeds Beckett and I think it caters for pretty much
everyone.
