What students say about english-literature

We're lacking a lot in terms of music facilities, or facilities available are very old/decrepid. Bangor is a very beautiful area, however ot is a struggle to get around with mobility issues. Everyone here is friendly as we're a small community. It has a cosy, warm vibe.

Cardiff Met is an amazing uni to go to! The science facilities are well maintained and it has lots of facilities for studying. The only downside I would say is that there are two campuses and some events are only at one, so you need to travel across the area.

Best aspects would definitely be the people and the location. By the beach but with safe and lively night life, which in my opinion is important for most undergrad students, also the welsh are lovely and friendly. It depends on the area but overall the city feels extremely safe which was important for me. Some of the buildings on the old campus (singleton) look a bit run-down especially when the sun isn't out so it might be worth them revamping some buildings to make certain parts look less depressing. But again thats only a few, and the walk to campus is lovely especially as theres a massive park/green space right next to campus, with a 2 minute detour taking you right to the beach. Can't say too much on the students' union because it looks good but i havent really engaged with it. They always have some sort of event going on but honestly i havent been to many, so maybe the events could be more engaging so more people including myself would go.

What students say about english-literature

Overall, it’s a fantastic place to study because of the quality of teaching, the welcoming community, and the range of opportunities available. One of the best aspects of my university experience has been the strong sense of community. The supportive environment among students and staff makes it a genuinely great place to study. Lecturers are approachable, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about their subjects, which makes learning engaging and motivating. The course structure is well-designed, balancing theory with practical application, and it prepares students effectively for future careers. Increasing access to wellbeing and academic support services during peak assessment periods would make a significant difference. Expanding quiet study spaces during exam season would also help accommodate the higher demand. With improved communication and slightly more student-focused flexibility in administrative processes, the experience could be even better.

The location is very well, the campus is good, but the toilets is not enough, specially, because we have a lot people inside and for some people need to wash feat to pray, the don't have the place. We need more toilets space.

What students say about english-literature

Aberystwyth is a great University for Computer Science. I was a career changer with no experience coding before coming here and the course taught me everything I needed to gain a placement with a AAA game studio. I wanted to write this review because I remember looking for Universitys when applying and wondering if Aber is good. I saw a review saying that the course didn't prepare them for the Industry at all. I strongly disagree. As someone who didn't come from an ICT background and didn't code at all before, I can tell you you will learn everything you need. Just go to your practicles! Truth is because it's Computer Science attendence is low, and students who don't do the un-assesed practices and coursework will have a hard time. If you want to go to a Uni though where lecturers care about you, take the time to talk to you and are invested in your success it's a great choice. Aberystwyth also has good ties to the industry and goes out of its' way to get students career ready. If you want to know where students end up just look up the Uni on linkedIn. Aberystwyth has gotten rewards for its' teaching repeatedly, and rightfully so. Yes, it's not a Russel Group University and prestige is not on the same level, but if you're engaged and want to learn the skills and have great lecturers and an active student life (because there is really nothing else to distract you from your studies in Aberystwyth) it's a great choice.
