What students say about social-research

The best aspect of my university experience has been the practical and future-focused nature of my course. Studying Managing AI in Business has helped me understand how AI applies to real business problems, which aligns well with my background in accounting and my career goals. I also appreciate the supportive lecturers and the diversity of students, which makes discussions more insightful and global. However, one area that could be improved is communication and organisation around assessments and feedback timelines, as clearer guidance would reduce student uncertainty. Additionally, more hands-on workshops, industry guest speakers, and career support specifically for international postgraduate students would enhance the learning experience even further. Overall, it is a good place to study, especially for students interested in combining business with emerging technologies, but stronger academic support and more practical engagement opportunities would make it even better.

What students say about social-research

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 social-research

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.
