What students say about development-economics

- There is lots of student support from the lecturers and pastoral staff. - I like how my timetable is scheduled with labs soon after the lectures. I get to use what I've learnt immediately which helps consolidate my knowledge. - One thing that could be better is having microwaves on campus for students to bring their own food from home and heat it up on campus.

What students say about development-economics

WIFI is absolutely awful and there are many dead zones around campus. How can a top-level engineering university provide such poor internet connection, especially when all of our assignments are internet based and due online? I am constantly searching for places around campus with any useable connection and the VPN speeds when you're off campus are just unusable. It's the year 2024. How have we not figured this out yet? It's absolutely unaccusable. You have the money to build an entire new campus, but can't fix the internet at your main campus? Awful.

The best aspect of the university is its inclusiveness and overall collectiveness and community you get when you’re a part of the university and even after you have left I have seen previous alumni and staff being an active part of the community works present over here and participate in their respective events.

Location: lots of the buildings are close together, easy to get to another lecture. Improvements: Bringing back the anonymous chat where u ask teachers questions throughout the lesson or just another way to be able to ask the teacher any enquires that is quick (not moodle though as everyone can see what u asked).

The University offers state of the art facilities and faculty and striving hard to let the student have great experience of university life. I would request to collaborate with industries and help international student gain internships and part time work experience current career space is not that collaborative with industries or one on one with students effectively. Rest a great learning experience highly recommended.

What students say about development-economics

I love our uni. However, this year the study spaces have deteriorated in quality. This is mainly due to the library spaces being reduced in opening times. Exam season was already heaving with students in the Marjorie and Phil last year. This year we‘re going to see way less space availability and students will have to retaliate to studying at home which proves impossible for some. Also the fact that we cant eat our lunch in spoons is crazy. That needs readjusting

Everything about UoB is great! Especially being an international student, UoB has provided me with a sense of warmth and welcoming and has created an environment that feels like a home away from home. The exposure we have as university students to the field of careers is amazing. And the university also has an amazing careers connect team that provide one-to-one support from mock interviews to CV reviews. The academic faculty is filled with professors who are experts in their chosen fields.
