Psychology postgraduate degrees

There are excellent lecturers and student support services (particularly academic skills). The campus has a good feel and has a lot of outdoor seating which will be nice when the weather is warm. Lecture rooms are good but the seats are very uncomfortable. There is little impact from the students' union, for example there was no 'refreshers fayre' for January intake students, which also impacts the student life score.

The best aspects would be the environment and the decorations around campus that makes it a lot more comforting and a more positive environment to work, the university could improve on some of the scheduling of lectures and seminars.

I like the activities offered by the uni such as the weekly therapy dogs, giveaways and competitions, and research talks. However, the counselling service could be improved as waiting times are very long.

The immense range of libraries compares well to other unis. The lack of uni funding for sport is a real shame at times though. The nightlife is good - you can make the most of it with good friends - and the city is generally lovely to walk around, with the benefit of being able to access all the colleges.

I love the welcoming atmosphere and the thought and effort that has been put into making Staffs a great place for both local and international students. I just wish there was a bit more to the facilities, such as more updated books in their libraries, gluten free options on campus, or a gym on campus. Otherwise, I'm pretty pleased with it :)

Lectures and modules are making this university very interesting. After my first year with this university ,I became a supervisor. University also enrolled me to a project manager course free of charge! After I finish it, I hope I will be a project manager. Many thanks for everything!

The Uni of Leeds is a really amazing place to study!! Because it is such a large university it's perfect for making lots of friends, which societies really help with. Alternatively, it forces you to be more social because there are so many dfferent kindsds of peore within one institution. You gain social skills and develop your own interests due to the parts of this university experience that are relatively unique compared to UK, and even overseas universities; there are loads of societies, both big and small, with sober events and also for niche interests. Additionally, the year abroad programme offers a year rather than a semester abroad (like most universities) which is way more suited to actual cultural integration, settling in and making lifelong friends. You get the amazing opportunity of living and studying somewhere for a considerable amount of time. The university could be improved by improving mental health services - when I tried to find counseling the only recommendation I got was to seek private therapy - which most people are not in a financial position to do, and was also besides the point of me seeking therapy included in the large sum I am paying for university. I still believe that universities rely too much on self care measures for student mental health management - when university really can be a hard time and it is one of the biggest challenges a young person will face in life, to adjust to a new environment like this. In person mental health support is still the most effective aid and there is not enough of this available.

As a student at the University of Sunderland, my experience has been overwhelmingly positive. The university offers a diverse range of well-structured academic programs, providing me with valuable knowledge and skills for my chosen field. The faculty members demonstrate a genuine commitment to student success, fostering a supportive learning environment (an example being the feed forward targets on every assignment to help me improve on the next). The campus facilities are modern and well-maintained, offering state-of-the-art resources for both academic and extracurricular activities. I appreciate the university's dedication to diversity and inclusion, creating an inclusive atmosphere that celebrates students from various backgrounds (as an international student, i have benefited a lot in other to deal with culture shock). The availability of support services, including excellent academic advising and career counseling, has been instrumental in my personal and academic development (i have also enjoyed the one - on - one study skills appointment with library officials). Furthermore, the university's intervention through the English for Academic Purpose modules have shaped and made my learning process easier as an international student. Overall, the University of Sunderland has exceeded my expectations, providing a comprehensive and enriching educational experience.
