Environmental Health / Safety postgraduate degrees

Amazing facilities for my course, it's in a convenient area, as someone who's struggled to make friends in the past I had no issue finding a community within the climbing society which is one of the many societies that the student union offers.

The best part of my experience has been the practical approach to learning and the diverse student community, which made it easy to meet people and gain different perspectives. The course helped me build useful, real-world skills. On the downside, some areas could be better organised, and communication at times could be improved. Overall, it’s been a valuable and enriching experience.

One of the best aspects of my university experience is the diverse and welcoming environment. As someone who came from Bangladesh, I was initially worried about adjusting to a new country, but the university has made me feel included and comfortable. Meeting students from different parts of the world has been a great experience, and it has helped me grow both personally and academically. Another great thing is the campus itself. It is modern, well-equipped, and provides a good environment for studying. The location is also very convenient, which makes daily life easier for students. The support services are helpful, especially for international students, but sometimes it can take time to get responses or appointments during busy periods. Improving response times and making support more easily accessible would make the experience even better. Overall, the university provides a positive and inspiring place to study, with a strong focus on student development and real-world skills. I am happy to be part of such a diverse and supportive community.

I am a remote learning student. I think there isn't as many interactive online sessions as I would have expected and the sessions there isn't a lot of class collaboration between students. However, support at university has been second to none, whenever I have got in touch with a department I have received a response within a working day.

Anything related to academics will be supported and clarified as early as possible. The environment matters a lot when you study, so the exterior of the college and its location makes it one of its kind to study with peace of mind. The only bad experience I’ve had is with a summer study abroad program. It was way too unorganised, the criteria’s change every week. New ways of paying and applying every day. Nothing will be clarified on time which leaves us all with way too many loose ends to deal with.

There should be more support for international students, the lack of staff specialized on matter regarding visas and financial support for international students makes the whole university experience feel more overwhelming and stressful.

The best aspects of my university experience have been the sense of community and the opportunities for personal and academic growth. My course is taught by passionate lecturers who make the subject feel relevant and engaging, and I’ve appreciated how approachable most staff are when I need help. There are also plenty of extracurricular activities and societies, which made it easy to meet people with similar interests. The campus facilities—like the library, study spaces, and wellbeing services—have also been a big part of what makes it a great place to study. In terms of what could be improved, there are a few key areas. Communication between departments could sometimes be clearer, especially around deadlines and timetable changes. At busy times of the year, access to study spaces can become limited, and more quiet areas or longer opening hours would make a difference. It would also help if there were more practical, hands-on learning opportunities such as placements, workshops, or industry links, as these really enhance understanding and employability. Overall, the university offers a supportive and stimulating environment, but with better organisation and more resources during peak periods, the student experience could be even stronger.
