Dance postgraduate degrees in All England

What makes my uni a great place to study is their student support. They try to help their students in any way possible to ensure that students get the best out of their education. I think it would be better if the university put more effort into societies and clubs such as sporting clubs and teams . It would help the university to have more of a community and really showcase other talents other than what students already study on their courses. My university do have societies and some sporting teams, however some of the societies don’t run anymore and it’s not made to be as big as it was when I first heard about it before I joined uni. I think it’s important to have that feel of community and university culture and to also show the inclusiveness of different cultures, groups and activities in which people associate them selves with.

The support provide by lecturers is really beneficial and really in depth as well as being provided on a one to one basis. The small cohort mean class sizes are small so you gain more hands on practise and have more turns practising different skills. It also means that more support is able to be provided by tutors a that all tutors know who you are and what your skillls are. It’s a nice small city with the famous based a 10 minute walk from the city centre so everything is really close and accessible. The students also have access and availability to all equipment available in the labs to help them develop there skills and use to complete relavant assignments and projects.

The facilities are great like the cafes, the gym, the libraries! The creative campus is close to the city which is great. The fact the gym is so accessible is amazing too. It could be improved by the buses timetable changing a little bit. Maybe more frequently if possible? Or the times changing so we get to the other campus at a different time. For example to go to my 2pm lesson I have to get the bus at 12:45 to get there at 1:10 and have a long wait. Maybe the bus could leave on the hour?

The best aspects are the student union and the facilities available. I think it could be improved if we had more books generally available at the library without requiring click and collect, since right now the library feels like a study space but not a real library.

The campus is absolutely gorgeous! A wonderful mix of old and new, castles and modern buildings. Reserving rooms encourages students to get out of their rooms and study anywhere on campus, from the top of the castle tower, to the communal "pods" at Commons. The Student Union building has a bar and a small shop, and activities going on almost every day. Karaoke every other Saturday is one of my favourites. Close enough to the city of Bath for easy access, while still having the feeling of a university town. Lots of student discounts and student bars/clubs in town, as the University of Bath is also nearby. Interesting classes, lovely lecturers and guest lecturers, and proper assessments. Few, if not none, tests, allowing for those who do not thrive with simple memorization to show off how they learn. The diversity of students encourages the broadening of your own world view. A wide range of courses, allowing for study into incredibly specific topics. The main issue with the university is the wait time for wellbeing appointments, as it can take up to four months to even get a foot in the door. This means that if you do need help, it is very difficult to achieve. Also, while it isn't the university's fault, it is important to know that the First Bus system is not very reliable, so if you have a job in town, it is quite nerve-wracking.

At Bedfordshire we have a vibrant and cosmopolitan student population that includes around 20,000 students from over 100 countries. We are a modern university that believes in nurturing our students to become educated, employable and entrepreneurial global citizens.
