Business Administration postgraduate degrees

The best parts are definitely the location as it's easy to get to from the train station with the campus looking very professional when you arrive. At the start of the year, I had student counselling, and it was amazing. The support was fantastic, and although the wait times were fairly long, it was definitely worth it. Excusing the IT support, the facilities that are provided are above standard, clean and perfect for ease of use. IT systems and the Student Union is barely noticeable. Whenever lecturers need to access something, they have to fix the IT system themselves because IT refuses to do any work, or only knows how to make a keyboard work. Thing that we need to actually complete our work are not installed on the PCs even after the lecturer has asked them to be added. It's a recurring pattern that has been happening since the first year, and it seems like it won't be stopping anytime soon.

The facilities and lecturers help ensure that you aim to get the best possible outcome for what you attempt to study however some of the campus feels slightly outdated with the way some of the rooms are laid out and can be improved.

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

Great all round university with great balance of city and rurally located. Transport wise, its great within city. Although, it lacks proper parking for rurally located people (where public transport is not an option/viable option) as requires permit. To resolve this, a multistory carpark could be implemented or more bus links/shuttlebuses from locations outside of the city. The lack of public transport outside the city is a problem anyway, so may be worth considering relocating to city for duration of course. With regards to course, having already been a student previously, there are a lot more support systems in place to help aid students. Moreover, compared to other universities, the staff are more than happy to help. The small knit feel of the University and the city provides a homely lifestyle, easily and effortlessly. This is only furthered by the diversity of culture within the city and shire. The union is great, the staff are approachable and friendly. From initially becoming a student to my time here now, however, the union seems to be downsizing. I feel that this is an absolute shame as it provides an independent aspect to life as a student. It, in my opinion, has reduced the quality of student life as it miminises a student voice, independent of the university. That being said, there is a great range of mental health facilities in place now to enhance student lifestyle auch as free gym membership for students.

It is great to study at Teesside university, but please if possible the payment plan should be adjusted in a way that student will be making payment once every 2 months or 10% of the school fees every month.
