What students say about economics

I really like the University of Liverpool. It's a nice environment with friendly and helpful staff and student support and plenty of opportunities if you seek them out. I would argue that student life isn't very commuter friendly though. It's quite a walk from the train station, no lockers and societies often run late into the evening.

Best aspects: The university provides a supportive learning environment with helpful lecturers and good academic resources. The campus is generally welcoming, and there are plenty of opportunities to develop skills both academically and personally. Worst aspects / Improvements: One issue that needs improvement is the heating and hot water system, as it does not always work properly. At times, students only have access to cold water, which can be uncomfortable and difficult, especially for students who are sensitive or have health issues related to cold temperatures. Ensuring reliable heating and hot water would greatly improve student comfort and wellbeing.

The best aspect of the uni experience would be the campus. There are many things to do here, as long as you actually head over to the Hope Park campus. I didn’t do this for the first two years but did in the final year and it was life changing!

UCLan is a great place to study because of its friendly staff, diverse student community, and excellent facilities like the library and sports centre. It provides strong academic and personal support. One area for improvement could be creating more study spaces during exam periods and adding more campus events to bring students together.

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.

Worst is library computers, they have to include usbc for computer extension. I like the organisation I wish they had more international student support considering we’re paying 3x more for the same thing

What students say about economics

I can honestly say apart from having to my lifestyle to incorporate study in amongst work and family life i have had no negative experiences. The support from the tutors on this course has been above and beyond and the resources they provided for optimal learning have been amazing. If extra support is needed they are only just an email or a teams meeting away and if they cant help you will be sign posted in the right direction. I feel for not considering myself to be an academic person i have excelled in this course but this was only due to the support provided.

Bolton public library is amazing. Easy access to student services, fun events, and the library and campus is great, open after hours. I’ve personally found my course isn’t the most organised, but otherwise I am loving it.
