What students say about sports-psychology

The university creates a welcoming feel. However, the campus can feel quite isolated . Although, the Bus system is very prompt but not ideal when you need to get somewhere quickly. All the buildings have been modernised on the inside and the site is full of greenery.

What students say about sports-psychology

The staff are great! They are always there for support and I never feel like I do not have someone to approach when struggling. Having a personal tutor is so beneficial as well, as you always have them to talk to whether it be about your studies, personal matters or career paths! I also love that it is all one campus so no need to run between building to building making it to classes as they all link in some way. The student wellbeing service is also a great support system in place, the counselling service is extremely helpful and an amazing thing to have built into the university.

What students say about sports-psychology

I feel that I have still learned a lot, but many of the assessments have been changed from practice assessments to essays or tests. I just can’t wait to be on campus because I know it will be so much better. I can’t give a proper opinion until I see what everything is like for myself
