It's very focused on it's programmes and wants to get the best out of people and give them skills they need to succeed in their chosen profession. However, when initially starting, staff could be more present and offer better support for struggling students, especially in regards to paperwork and necessary tasks required for your programme.

PROS - The university has been absolutely stellar at providing opportunities to those who put in that extra effort. - Support, particularly the maths gym provided by the uni for those needing extra math tuition is an incredible resource. - Lecturers are always quick to respond to questions and available for feedback out with timetabled classes. - The facilities available to electrical engineering students (the GRiD in particular) is very good. More advanced equipment is available to those who require it through research projects or other related endeavours. - The university shop and various cafes/canteens all have quality products and competitive prices. CONS - Some course have suffered when lecturers are delivering them for their first time. This is understandable however. - Issues with inaccurate or frequently fluctuating timetables can be frustrating at times.

It's really great because the modules are interesting and the content is accessible. Teachers are supportive and societies are good. It could be improved by being more true to its environmentalist message considering its acceptance of Ai. Also on campus accomodation has some reoccurring issues with showers going cold due to the heating aspect of the showers being old.

I love the city in general. The University's libraries are good. with proper facilities that I can use, such as discussion rooms, computers, printers, even 3D printer! Some buildings look so old but in positive ways, make them look classic and cultured. However, in my own experience, some classrooms are a little bit aged. i mean, like some chairs are feel old, they are sometimes kind of wobbly, and some of them do not have enough leg room. Main library can be crowded when exam days come, but I think that is something that can not be avoided. i think it is good to add some space for classrooms or some like study hubs.
