Property Development and Management postgraduate degrees

Best - Good location close to the city centre. Plenty of buses pass through Oxford Rd however during busy times they do fill up quickly. Worst - DASS (Disabled Student Support) have been really disappointing, they made me a support plan before I arrived but a lot of this did not get followed until I chased it up myself. Trying to get in contact with them feels near impossible and getting extra support for university presentations has taken months and one of the presentations has already passed despite contacting DASS weeks prior.

I believe creating a more inclusive social environment for both home and international students is essential. Providing a space where they can come together to share their life experiences fosters a better understanding of one another. This not only contributes to psychological well-being, especially for those who may feel isolated, but it also enhances English language proficiency for some students. This could take the form of a conversation club, a talk and talk cafe, or any other engaging platform." Thanks Abdul Rasheed Alizay ATD 3rd year.

The environment is great and there’s loads of support. The uni constantly asks for the student’s opinions on what they could do better and actually implement suggestions. It could maybe be improved if there where more help with job opportunities for international students who wish to stay in the uk and are unsure of their options.

Fun and welcoming community. Always someone to help out or to talk to. Wish the university provided direct links to the train station with their shuttle buses. You need car if you plan on exploring the Cotswolds when studying here.

The student union is a great relief for me as an international student and I've found it really helpful in many occasions. I don't find anything unappealing till now but one thing I would look forward to have is more cultural festivals as I'm feeling very much homesick

Lecturers have good knowledge on the topic they teach and are always willing to clear any of students queries. The location is very close to Belfast city center and other amenities which make travel and shopping easier. The infrastructure such as Library, labs are of top quality for student to utilize them to the fullest. What could be improved are the cost of living supports for international students and the departments understanding the curriculum differences between UK universities and foreign universities. The University can come up with more financial support schemes for these students as many of them wont be having a stable income to support themselves and their families. The heads of concerned departments should understand that the assessment criteria for foreign universities are far more liberal and easier whereas here they are more stringent. This made many of my fellow classmates to fail to complete the degree and had to go back to their countries. This is not a foreign national expect after spending more thousands of pounds as tuition fees and return to their families depressed. Immediate attention and action on this is of great importance.

Most of the lecturers are lovely and really helpful. There’s been lots of student events to keep it a fun and exciting time and take the pressure off studying. The library is great but can be difficult to find somewhere to study when it’s busy
