What students say about social-work

I love how central it is to Belfast making it really easy to get to and from. The campus itself is beautiful with some brilliant facilities such as the library, study spaces and coffee shops. I think the students union is very modern and has a welcoming atmosphere. My favourite campus is the business school where I spend most of my time.

What students say about social-work

The University of Staffordshire has a genuinely welcoming atmosphere. The lecturers are passionate and always willing to help, and the campus has a real community feel where you never feel like “just another student.” The facilities are modern, and the hands-on teaching style makes you feel prepared for real-world work. There’s also a great balance between academic support and social life, which really helps you settle in and enjoy the experience. And how could it be improved? Communication between departments could sometimes be smoother, especially around deadlines or timetable changes. More study spaces during peak times would also be helpful. And while the support services are great, extending their availability during exam periods would make a big difference.

What students say about social-work

There are lots of beautiful and great places to study on campus. There are also lots of places depending on the type of studying you want to do. Our Su are pretty active in making changes for people which is great. The student support can be a bit lack-luster and there are not many staff to run it and therefore it can take a while to get a response. Accessibility is not great with weird paths and such creating a long and challenging route for those using a wheelchair.
