I love the well integrated teaching modules aligning with the current employability trend and measures in the organisational world. However. the faculty members can be improved with lecturers on the same array of discipline

I think the support is great. The course is good however I personally do not enjoy the lectures in third year. I feel the atmosphere is great and the library is a lovely place to study. My only complaint is that parking is quite limited as you have to arrive 1-2hours before just make sure you have time to find a space.

The best aspect of my university experience has been the practical and future-focused nature of my course. Studying Managing AI in Business has helped me understand how AI applies to real business problems, which aligns well with my background in accounting and my career goals. I also appreciate the supportive lecturers and the diversity of students, which makes discussions more insightful and global. However, one area that could be improved is communication and organisation around assessments and feedback timelines, as clearer guidance would reduce student uncertainty. Additionally, more hands-on workshops, industry guest speakers, and career support specifically for international postgraduate students would enhance the learning experience even further. Overall, it is a good place to study, especially for students interested in combining business with emerging technologies, but stronger academic support and more practical engagement opportunities would make it even better.

Best is socials! I’ve joined the swimming club and the team are great, lots of training available with good coaches and fun nights out. I’ve made so many friends. Worst is the food in campus is quite expensive. There are free breakfast schemes sometimes but not enough and the cafes aren’t really subsidised.

What students say about biotechnology

One of the best aspects of my university experience has been the academic challenge and the way the course encourages critical thinking rather than simple memorisation. Studying Law has pushed me to analyse complex cases, question legal principles, and engage with real debates about justice and power, which has made the learning feel meaningful and intellectually stimulating. The lecturers are knowledgeable and clearly passionate about their subjects, and seminars provide a supportive space to discuss ideas and develop confidence in expressing arguments. The university is also a great place to study because of its welcoming atmosphere and the vibrant city environment, which makes student life enjoyable and balanced. However, the experience could be improved by providing more consistent feedback on assessments and clearer guidance on expectations, as this would help students feel more confident about their academic progress.
