gain as much work experience as possible throughout studies, especially in early years of studying on workload in third year. The only advice I would give is don't be afraid to speak to new people and make new friends

I have genuinely loved every part of my experience at this university, from the support from our tutors to the lovely atmosphere on campus. I am so glad I chose to study here as I’m sure I would’ve regretted choosing any other university. The only negative I have to say is that there were a few things promised to the students on our course that were not fulfilled. The main one being class trips - we were promised a class trip every year but we have not had one since first year. All of the students on my course feel like it would’ve been a beneficial way to learn/bond so it is a shame that we did not get the chance to do so.

I love the fact that my course is quite small compared to other courses, this gives us more of a chance to bond and get to know each other better which in turn makes people feel more comfortable/confident in class. The lecturers are always there to support us and personally I have not once felt like I couldn’t go to any of my tutors for help and support. In first and second year I loved the fact that a lot of classes were mainly based around class discussions, personally I learned so much from these classes as it was really interesting to listen to people’s ideas, but it is a shame that not many classes in third year have been like this.

The rooms were slightly outdated, but overall they were perfect for student life. I never felt unsafe living in halls as security was always a high priority.
