What students say about social-work

The best part of my uni experience has definitely been the support from the lecturers and the quality of the teaching. In physiotherapy, the hands-on learning and practical sessions have helped me grow so much in confidence, and it’s clear the staff genuinely care about our progress. There’s also a great sense of community on campus, which makes it easy to feel settled and motivated. The main thing that could be improved is organisation. Timetables, assessments, and placement information can sometimes come through a bit last-minute, which adds stress during busy periods. More study spaces and quicker feedback on assignments would also make a big difference. Overall, it’s a brilliant place to study with passionate staff and great opportunities, and with a few tweaks to communication and organisation it would be even better.

What students say about social-work

I love the city in general. The University's libraries are good. with proper facilities that I can use, such as discussion rooms, computers, printers, even 3D printer! Some buildings look so old but in positive ways, make them look classic and cultured. However, in my own experience, some classrooms are a little bit aged. i mean, like some chairs are feel old, they are sometimes kind of wobbly, and some of them do not have enough leg room. Main library can be crowded when exam days come, but I think that is something that can not be avoided. i think it is good to add some space for classrooms or some like study hubs.
