Criminology postgraduate degrees in North West England

The best aspects of the university are certainly the staff, both academic and support. The lecturers are all very knowledgeable, engaging and dedicated. They make themselves available to answer student’s questions and support student life by attending society events. The University also offers fantastic support services such as Employability. They offer a huge range of events, with opportunities to hear from professionals and network with them. Their staff are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. One aspect I would like to see improved at the University is in administration, particularly the Student’s Union. As somebody who runs a society it has been very difficult at times to organise events and it’s a shame because this has detrimentally affected an important part of university life. I understand this department is going through a transitionary period and so there is hope that things will improve going forward. That’s not to say all my experiences have been bad. There are many helpful and understanding staff in admin roles and in the SU but some problems have been inexplicably difficult to resolve. It isn’t always clear who to contact for certain issues and this leads to massive delays and missing out on some basic offerings. Some issues really should’ve been solved but persist for many months. I hope the changes to the SU will bring positive results in the future. It isn’t all bad but it certainly has been an issue at the University for some time and so it has to be raised.

The social life is absolutely fantastic, although certain classrooms and paths are very difficult to access when wheelchair bound, and sometimes the surrounding area is hard to access in a wheelchair, although staff are as helpful as possible. The lecturers are very friendly and understanding of situations when you can’t make it to classes and the sudent life team are excellent help when you need it. There are always events on to get to know people or hang out with friends you’ve made that are on campus and affordable.

The staff and students around the campus are always so welcoming and friendly. It really makes me enjoy where I’m studying. I think something that could be improved is the university’s response to student based issues.
