Data Science postgraduate degrees in West Midlands

I think all the lecturers are friendly and approachable. However, I felt during the school placement that I wasn't fully support, I think there could be clearer support and structure when you are completing the placement.

I like this university, everyone is friendly and the teachers are very supportive all the time. Im a young mom and also currently pregnant and the university have been doing everything they can to help me and provide all the support that i need and will need in the next few months. There are many student unions that you can join if you like being social and the facilities are great.

The facilities in Aston university makes it convenient for students to study. The facilities are modern and well maintained and there are multiple areas for group work and quiet study. The location is good as well as everything’s in walking distance like restaurants, shops and job opportunities. This makes it really convenient for students. One area where it could be improved is the parking. During peak times it can be quite difficult to find parking. Improving this for students who commute would make a big difference.

It's important to consider why you have selected to attend Harper Adams before choosing it for your degree program. It's a small, specialist university but there's a reason we've won these awards! The academic, research, and tutor/supervisory support I have received is unmatched. It's a friendly campus and I have met many lovely people who feel strongly about the university. The campus is in a rural area, meaning if you're looking for a constant ambient nightlife or social scene, you may not find it here. There is a reliable shuttle service to and from Newport and the Telford campus, however the timetable can be limited depending on time of year. Getting around may be a struggle if you cannot drive or do not own a car - or have ride-sharing friends/colleagues. Finding accommodation in Newport is very challenging, BUT I only looked at flats I could let alone. I enjoy the location and campus so my ratings reflect my preferences. As a postgrad, I have not engaged with the SU and therefore cannot accurately rate it. I haven't engaged with the student life offerings much either, but I am aware there are quite a few clubs and groups to join! (Attending uni can be challenging, but it's a great opportunity to step outside your comfort zone!) The student support is where I unfortunately have not had positive experiences - as a more "mature" postgrad student, I felt the Wellbeing team couldn't really relate to my problems and background very well which didn't result in the support or outcomes I was hoping for. I imagine they may be much better equipped to support undergrad students but as I don't have those experiences at Harper, I cannot confirm. That said, I did feel heard when I spoke with them, but ultimately the support I needed came from elsewhere on campus. In short, I am quite happy with Harper. Finding the right fit for you is important though, so I'd encourage a visit and arranging time to speak with lecturers in your topic area if you can.

I gained an MSc. with Arden University. The below first statement assume to be the worst experience, but it is also blessing in disguise. There is a saying that ''All work no play makes jack a dull boy'' The university does not have it's own garden or field, but there are numerous accessible fields, parks, garden, museums around including the prestigious Tower of London Royal Palace. Historic royal palaces, with great pictures and artifacts to behold. London Bridge and many more, just across the Tower Hill Campus. Same as other Arden University Campuses. Though they specifically choose best location for their campuses. Best Uni experience. The University learning model is excellent. self pace learning support, the Virtual Learning Environment VLE is pact with great both personal and customer support, easy to access and progress. The submission process, the assignments and exams support are straightforward when you get to understand how to navigate around the VLE. You just want to learn and gain more knowledge with Arden University.
