Fashion Design postgraduate degrees in South East England

I love the scenery which is just by the River Thames. The accommodation is comfortable and peaceful. Worst experience is that students are made to search Placement opportunities themselves which can be quite exhausting.

i love the facilities at this uni, the library and the teaching is great. there are many places for all types of students ,quiet or not, to go and the nightlife in the city is prety decent. it is quite affordable compared to other universitys close by. the societies are fantastic aswell. the university could improve on certain teaching aspects in the first year to ease us into how very independant it all is

From my perspective of being a student at coventry university id like to say how good the physical location and quality of all the facilites are. the design, layout, and ease of access for botth the engineering building and the library are excillent, student life here is great too, i currently live in a rental-based accommodation with 4 people, and it works quite well. Personally I couldnt fault the university with anything as I believe it is perfectly equipped to fullfil all its students needs.

The university has supportive lecturers, good learning facilities, and a friendly environment. There are plenty of resources like libraries and online materials that help students succeed. It also offers a diverse community, which makes it easy to meet people from different backgrounds and feel included.

Worst is the limited contact time with professors. It feels really rushed which is unfortunate because there is so much to discover here and it becomes stressful when we feel like cattle who must be rushed in and out. The university itself is fantastic though. It’s incredibly inspiring to walk through the workshops, lecture halls, and library- it feels like you’re in the center of the world. Everything is state of the art and the staff is phenomenal. I just wish they cut less corners in terms of students’ ability to engage with it all.

I think the best part of my university experience has been the amount of opportunities I've had in terms of my learning and outside student life. My teachers have also been absolutely amazing and so helpful. I feel like we are given excellent direction on assignments and we aren't just left to do it on our own and figure it out ourselves. However, I think the university could be improved in terms of support for GIP students. As a GIP student, I feel like I do not have great access to my own attendance and on multiple occasions it has been a struggle to get authorised absences for myself. I feel like the system for reporting absences needs to be simpler and it makes me anxious knowing some of my absences are red when they shouldn't be as my medical condition has made it impossible to get into class that day. I had one meeting with a lady before I started the university where we went over things like absences and then I never heard from her again? She said she would sort out implications for me so it would be easier to get time off and not be penalised for it but I never heard from her again.

All staff in university is eager to help you with any kind of questions or problems. At lectures teachers are really engaging and supportive. You never notice how quick time flies during lectures. Especially, before any assignments you are given every detail about it, so you are well prepared and not scared at all. Birkbeck suggests a lot of opportunities for busy social life, where you can meet lots of enthusiastic people, and opportunities for future career such as additional workshops, professional guests, etc. I love being a part of this community!
