It might not be university specific, but the difficulties in commuting has a big impact. The university has been negotiating with the first bus, however, the busses are always full because of sudden cancellations. Since university is at the top of the hill, I would hope this to be improved significantly so I wouldn’t have to walk up or take an uber up which makes me too tiring to concentrate on lectures.

The university is very supportive and very helpful. There is many ways you can meet people and this can be done through events the university holds and the event societies in the university hold. There’s many ways to make connections with business and further your connections

What makes UWE such a great place for study for me are the people. The teachers and the staff are supportive, inspiring, passionate and helpful people. The campus is very welcoming, lively and safe. The theatre in which we have most of our classes is creative and vibrant space.

I think on the Penryn campus, it really challenges me, especially coming from a great city and country like Singapore. I have never experienced such growth within myself since I first came to the UK. I think if it were back home, I would still be the same or a similar type of person three years later. This campus, although small and in the countryside, has really lived up to being the campus focusing on sustainability and the environment, such as how the buildings are designed to be more energy efficient and also having sufficient green spaces for students studying environment-related studies to explore and add value to their academic experience. Additionally, I think in a smaller campus, it is easier to make friends as well as bond easily within societies and in classes. Smaller groups tend to have a deeper and more meaningful experience, which really helped me be more passionate in my studies and curriculum activities. Additionally, this campus is situated near Falmouth, which is the bigger town beside Penryn, and despite it being small, it feels homely and you will definitely not feel out of place, as there are many activities going on throughout the year. One piece of advice for anyone thinking of coming here is to really find out more about this place before applying. If you are someone who really loves city vibes and just convenience in general, you might not love it as much because to get groceries, you would have to travel a distance to the superstore near campus or if you live in falmouth you would have to travel to campus by bus which is almost 20 minutes. If you are out to challenge yourself, get out of your comfort zone especially if you have been living in big cities and all, I would say Penryn campus would be an ideal place for you to learn more about yourself and push your limits, and also aim to be the best version of yourself by the time you graduate.

Studying at UWE Bristol feels like being part of a dynamic laboratory of ideas, where theory meets practice in an inspiring and international environment. The courses are highly applied, with a strong focus on sustainability and innovation. The Frenchay Campus is modern and well-organized, offering excellent study spaces, cutting-edge facilities, and a vibrant student community. One of the university’s greatest strengths is its strong industry connections, providing students with valuable networking opportunities and hands-on experiences. The lecturers are passionate and supportive, encouraging critical thinking and independent research. The emphasis on real-world challenges—especially in fields like urban regeneration and sustainable mobility—makes learning truly impactful. That said, there’s always room for improvement. Transport links to the city could be more efficient, especially for those with early flights (as I’ve personally discovered!). More late-night campus services and better connections to Bristol Airport would make student life even easier. Overall, UWE Bristol is an exciting and forward-thinking university that equips students with the skills and knowledge to shape the future. Highly recommended for anyone passionate about making a difference!
