What students say about applied-sciences

My first year studying Banking and Finance at UWE has provided a highly robust foundation in capital markets and financial systems. The absolute best aspect is the practical application of macroeconomic theories and the rigorous analytical frameworks taught by the faculty. The facilities, particularly the trading room simulations, offer excellent asymmetric upside for developing real-world quantitative skills. If I had to suggest an area for improvement, it would simply be expanding the availability of niche financial technology modules earlier in the undergraduate curriculum to stay ahead of market trends. Overall, an excellent ROI for my educational capital, and Alhamdulillah for the highly supportive environment.

What students say about applied-sciences

As an international Environmental Management student, my time at Plymouth has been defined by two things: academic freedom and incredible support. When I faced significant personal loss and financial struggles that impacted my attendance, the faculty didn't write me off they gave me the flexibility to recover and succeed. The course itself is far more than just exams. I was able to lead complex, consultancy-style projects (like my work on Singapore Heat Stress policies) that felt like real professional work, not just coursework. The resources in the Marine Building and library are top-tier for anyone willing to push themselves. Plymouth offers a rare balance: it challenges you intellectually to reach distinction levels, but supports you personally when life gets hard. Highly recommended for students who want resilience alongside their degree.

What students say about applied-sciences

Gorgeous location which works well for its specialisms. Library has a good amount of specialist books but doesn't have much access for online publications. I have to use my alumni access from my undergrad Uni. Some buildings are shared with the 6th form and the college students do leave mess everywhere (we know its them because the Uni buildings aren't a tip). Halls of residence are dated and overpriced but the convenience of not having to get the shuttle bus is good. Shuttle bus from Gloucester to Campus (or vice versa) is £3 single so it adds up quickly. Service is always on time but isn't always at the most convenient times. No financial hardship support for postgraduate students. Seems to be no support for international trips such as Turing funding. I did email them about it but no response soooooo.... Not much student life stuff going on, only a handful of societies and they're just sports really. Plus as it's a sporty Uni it's not for casuals.

What students say about applied-sciences

I enjoyed the course and it’s structure. I believe, that it set me up well for my research project and gave me the skills that employers are looking for. The worse aspect was the lack of time for activities outside of studying. Lectures and assignments took up most of the day and evening, especially during coursework and exam season.

There should be more support for international students, the lack of staff specialized on matter regarding visas and financial support for international students makes the whole university experience feel more overwhelming and stressful.
