What students say about psychotherapy

The location in central London not far from where the UKs decisions are made is amazing. The library has most of the resources I need and if you can’t find something the library staff will happily try and make it available. The thing where the uni lets us down the most is admin.

What students say about psychotherapy

I love the scenery which is just by the River Thames. The accommodation is comfortable and peaceful. Worst experience is that students are made to search Placement opportunities themselves which can be quite exhausting.

What students say about psychotherapy

University of Salford is a great place to study because it offers strong industry connections, modern facilities, and practical learning opportunities that prepare students for real careers. Its location near Manchester provides access to a vibrant city, diverse culture, and many professional networks, while the campus itself offers supportive learning spaces, libraries, and collaborative environments. The university also emphasizes employability through placements, industry-led projects, and partnerships with businesses. However, it could be improved by expanding student support services, increasing study and social spaces during busy periods, and providing more affordable accommodation options to better support students’ wellbeing and academic success.

What students say about psychotherapy

I think the University of Essex has a good campus. It’s well maintained and beautiful, most importantly as someone who commutes it’s easy to access with multiple bus stops which are convenient. I think my philosophy aspect of my course is fantastic, always supportive and very easy to communicate with! Law here is also fantastic. There’s many great study facilities, I’m finding more each day! I also think the student union is great here! Very interactive even for a commuter.

What students say about psychotherapy

It’s a nice university in a nice area very convenient. There’s everything around. But can be improved by having more community because it lacks the aspects of like a community getting together having events just to talk not for like education or like stuff just like work you know like be friendly. Have fun. like how other universities of societies like this one society are limited like all universities of society for like everyone a culture and everything and just need something for the younger students to have that university life. Even though it’s a mature university. But it has so much Support and everything that you would need to study so that something is really great about it like there’s so many workshops but more fun things would be nice

What students say about psychotherapy

Pros: "The sense of community and the support from the Students' Union have been highlights of my time here. The campus facilities are modern, and there’s a great balance between academic rigour and social opportunities." Cons: "While the facilities are excellent, some of the older study spaces could benefit from more power outlets to accommodate students during peak exam seasons."

What students say about psychotherapy

At a PGR level, it is more autonomous, but it is still quite a cohesive experience if you choose to engage. The uni does well for the course, there is a direct connection to industry and affinity towards making it practical. The student support could be enhanced especially at a PGR level. It's less cohort and needs more attention at a more unit-level, which I imagine is difficult to engage. It is a halfway house between student and staff, so a bit more attention to either side (or preferably both) would really enhance the experience.
