What students say about pgde-primary

Austin hall needs a fresh up it is too old and definitely shows its age. Food at Fresh Hope could be better. The chicken sandwich at our place is the worse chicken I have ever had. Wish I was closer to the city center.

What students say about pgde-primary

The University allowed me to gain an internship in a subject that I am hoping to study for the rest of my life with a company called 2Engage. It has been the best thing that has ever happened to me and the experience has already given me so many vital and important skills. The Careers Team have been nothing short of so helpful!

I love the well integrated teaching modules aligning with the current employability trend and measures in the organisational world. However. the faculty members can be improved with lecturers on the same array of discipline

What students say about pgde-primary

Student life in this university is really enjoyable! I have found the student events to be the most enjoyable and I have made alot of friends through these events. The one thing i dont love about the university is the location, whilst we are close to a big city, its further away than i realised when i applied for it. Making social nights out that little bit harder. I also feel like theres not much social activities to do in Ormskirk overall.

What students say about pgde-primary

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.

What students say about pgde-primary

Best is socials! I’ve joined the swimming club and the team are great, lots of training available with good coaches and fun nights out. I’ve made so many friends. Worst is the food in campus is quite expensive. There are free breakfast schemes sometimes but not enough and the cafes aren’t really subsidised.

What students say about pgde-primary

I started the BA Photography course in 2018 and finished in 2022. I found the modules interesting, and we had a good mix of arts and more commercially orientated guest speakers. The tutors were incredibly helpful and supportive and did their best to provide engaging sessions despite the disruption of covid19 during my studies there. Resources are good with plenty of studio space, a big Mac-based editing room, and a massive dark room (B@W plus colour possible). Technical support is excellent too. Certainly worth considering for an undergraduate-level photography degree.
