What students say about music-studies

Facilities are brilliant. Students are friendly. Lectures are friendly. However, as someone with struggles in organisation and other areas I find the lack of support really difficult. I feel like im a number in a system not a student as much so I find the course can be more challenging than I can handle even though I have the knowledge of the content

What students say about music-studies

The best aspects are the student union and the facilities available. I think it could be improved if we had more books generally available at the library without requiring click and collect, since right now the library feels like a study space but not a real library.

Worst is library computers, they have to include usbc for computer extension. I like the organisation I wish they had more international student support considering we’re paying 3x more for the same thing

What students say about music-studies

I have no bad things to say about university they have been amazing. I know that sounds unrealistic but honestly the university has been amazing to me from the kitchen staff the receptionists and the teachers also my peers. I am enjoying my time here. They are making my learning experience amazing. My lecturers have offered and are helping me achieve my academic goals. The library has a wide range of books and the staff are friendly and very welcoming if a book is not available they will find it for you. The university has given a drive I haven’t had in a long time that I can complete the degree to the best of my abilities and also continue to pursue my goals within my own life. I now feel inspired to pursue a career in teaching something I have never considered before I am loving my experience so far and would recommend anyone to give it a go
