Learning content and support has been excellent, although challenging this builds your knowledge yearly. The people who present (Lecturers and staff) are what make this university a fantastic place to learn. Lecturers and staff are genuinely supportive, encouraging and nothing is too much trouble. There is an honest collective to strive to better the student experience where regular focus meetings take place to gain honest feedback from students. Student services whether that's study support or career advice is very accessible and is not lacking in support when you need it most. If I was critical I would say scheduling of academic timetable needs more timely communication which has presented problems of organising your life around studies; this may not be an issue for many students who may be more flexible. The campus has a mix of some very up to date facilities contrasting with some that require much investment, with many buildings very dated which probably reflects in the overall rating not getting my 5 stars. As I mentioned the staff particularly the lecturers are what make this course fantastic, they all have real world experience both academic and corporate which helps provide real understanding and support throughout your time.

The course has a healthy mix of in-class learning with some online. Scheduling of academic timetable needs more timely communication which has presented problems of organising your life around studies; this may not be an issue for many students who may be more flexible. Additionally it can feel a waste of a day when you only have one 2 hour lecture to commute to! However I suspect this is a common occurrence with many courses. Due to the nature of the course 1st and 2nd year in particular provided many practical lab sessions e.g. VO2 Max test which complement the academic learning and gave a welcome hands-on practical learning experience. You will be tasked to present Health & Fitness messaging with fellow student to develop your presentation skills.
