What students say about software-development

It’s a great place to study because the campus and the convenience of the student accommodations/ houses near campus is good. It is also good teaching wise as most of the professors are top tier. What could be improved is that the support is horrible. When students are stressed we don’t know where to go especially the team of law is not supportive, even the professors are more supportive. It’s hard to be understood by them or to get some clarity. I wish they’d be more helpful

What students say about software-development

UCLan is a great place to study because of its friendly staff, diverse student community, and excellent facilities like the library and sports centre. It provides strong academic and personal support. One area for improvement could be creating more study spaces during exam periods and adding more campus events to bring students together.

What students say about software-development

Worst is library computers, they have to include usbc for computer extension. I like the organisation I wish they had more international student support considering we’re paying 3x more for the same thing
