What students say about sports-psychology

I attend UOG Francis Close Hall campus and it's so incredibly inspiring. It's a great oldy-worldy historical site and it was really the deal-breaker for me choosing UOG; although my course mates and I were severely let down when we were told we would have to move to Oxstalls campus in Gloucester... we managed to get the union involved but only managed to get it pushed back a year for us, all new students in September for social science will be in Oxstalls and won't get to experience the beauty of FCH. Such a shame. Despite this, the facilities are amazing, staff are equipped with great knowledge and are all incredibly friendly. All students are friendly and light-minded, it's a great environment to study in and socialise. I commute so I cannot speak on the social side of student accommodation and/or going out, but as a commuter it meets all my needs! I really recommend studying here, the lecturers know what they're talking about, and are amazing at illustrating theories and concepts in ways that make sense.

My first year studying Banking and Finance at UWE has provided a highly robust foundation in capital markets and financial systems. The absolute best aspect is the practical application of macroeconomic theories and the rigorous analytical frameworks taught by the faculty. The facilities, particularly the trading room simulations, offer excellent asymmetric upside for developing real-world quantitative skills. If I had to suggest an area for improvement, it would simply be expanding the availability of niche financial technology modules earlier in the undergraduate curriculum to stay ahead of market trends. Overall, an excellent ROI for my educational capital, and Alhamdulillah for the highly supportive environment.

What students say about sports-psychology

Honestly the biggest thing for me has been the support system throughout the course. Being on a radiotherapy degree can be really intense mentally and emotionally, especially during long placements, but I’ve always felt like there were people I could go to when I needed help or reassurance. Placement experiences have definitely been the most valuable part of my uni journey because they’ve helped me grow so much in confidence, communication, professionalism, and patient care. I feel a lot more work-ready now after being in real clinical environments and working with actual patients and MDT teams. The course itself prepares you well for the realities of working in healthcare and gives you opportunities to develop both practical and personal skills. At times the workload could feel quite intense, especially when balancing placements with assignments and revision, but that’s expected within a healthcare degree and the student services and course lecturers were there to help and support me every step of the way!

Older campus tucked out of the way but super friendly and chill vibes all round. Especially the Octagon in the middle of campus, the two chaplains in there are absolutely wonderful and friendly people, and they have 2 dogs to cuddle if you need a furry friend lectures are more interactive with you as a student because of the smaller class sizes so they get to know you as an individual, and student support are great! The only negative I have is there are a lot of potholes and the elevators are often breaking. Overall, pretty good!!
