What students say about social-research

Everything about UoB is great! Especially being an international student, UoB has provided me with a sense of warmth and welcoming and has created an environment that feels like a home away from home. The exposure we have as university students to the field of careers is amazing. And the university also has an amazing careers connect team that provide one-to-one support from mock interviews to CV reviews. The academic faculty is filled with professors who are experts in their chosen fields.

What students say about social-research

I like how everything is on campus, convenient, I love the study spaces available at varying levels of quietness. The student union is cheap but could do with a bit of updating. I like the assessments we are given, a variety like presentations and essays writing blogs however the feedback could be more informative. I definitely miss home more than I thought so I wish I had chosen a closer uni most of my friends are off campus which makes the weekends and evenings lonely.

What students say about social-research

It is overall a good Uni with lots of well funded resources and opportunities. To improve it would need to put a greater store in supporting its ND students and taking a more student centric view of its curriculum. It currently has a do or die survival of the fittest approach rather than building a framework for success and guiding students to prosper.
