The campus is very green and is just a beautiful place to study and work. There is a really good balance between socialising and work, I’m able to balance playing sport and meeting up with friends with my studies, not having to compromise on much. The lecturers are very helpful and they generally explain things well, although the pastoral and careers support through our tutors could be improved. Generally I am very glad I chose to study here in Nottingham, and would recommend it to anyone looking to achieve highly in both their career and at the same time be able to have a thriving social life and overall good work life balance.

A lot of the courses aren't really standardised. Some use Moodle a lot, some don't. Though that might also be the lecturers trying to customise it to their teaching style. Lecturers are a mixed bag. Some read directly from slides, others actually try and engage with the class. Depends on what subject.

The lecturers are good and helpful, but also keep them interesting, my cohort is very nice and friendly. Our timetable. 3 different lectures have been packed into the same day, meaning it is a very busy day and is inconvenient since I commute.

I have enjoyed my study here at Richmond. The other reviews listed here are talking about the old campus which I didn't experience, but now the school has moved to Chiswick Business Park which is very modern and clean. The school is in one building which is easy to navigate, however its pretty small and sometimes its hard to find study spaces on busy days. The Fashion teachers are very credible and knowledgable as many of them also teach at London College of Fashion and the University of the Arts London. I can't speak on other majors, but all of my fashion teachers were lovely and easy to get in touch with about fashion internships around London. The student accommodation offered was great, the only con was that it was far from campus, but in terms of London life it was a good location to get around the city.

Great place to study. The staff is amazing from the lecturers to the janitorial staff everyone is so nice friendly and welcoming. Better student health services especially surrounding mental health. This uni is so prestigious and focused on keeping up their reputation that sometimes the people working or learning aren’t heard. The individual isn’t heard and appreciated as much as they should be. Sometimes we just feel like numbers rather then valued individuals in this community.

The supervisors, Phd office, students and the university itself have been wonderfully supportive. It is easy to criticise minor issues or those beyond the universities control, but overall it is just a great place to be and study. The Students Union could improve the way it deals with people as I did not find them particularly supportive, but then maybe I caught them on a bad day. I will still give them 4 stars since they mean well.

It’s a great place to study because of the excellent student-teacher relationships, they don’t make it all about education, they also add experiences to it. What could be improved is public university events that can bring everyone together eg. Bonfire x fireworks night/celebration

It's great because you do everything when you have time. The coarse tells you how much time you will need and you fit it in around your circumstances. The OU library is available 24 hours a day so always someone to help no matter what the time. The forums always have someone up late or really early! The tutors provide excellent feedback and are quick to respond

The best aspect for me is the location. I love being so close to Brighton and Stanmer park. There have been times where I have felt I could use with more support/ input from lecturers or tutors this term and I have felt very overwhelmed and burnt out adjusting to the new style of learning. Maybe for the first term students could receive more guidance if they feel necessary?

I’m a mature student doing the BMus Music part-time at Goldsmiths. I’ve just come to the end of the full-time first year (which has taken me two years). Headline is I’d really recommend this course – it was definitely a good decision to apply. Over the first year I’ve done 5 year-long modules and coming to the end I reckon they have given me a really solid foundation as a musician in terms of my ability to play, write, analyse and think about music.
