What students say about teaching-and-training-specific-subjects

I am a mature distance learning student, completing my MA in Philosophy of Religion and Ethics. The online platform is easy to use and the digital library is expansive. All staff have been easy to contact when I need any support, including IT, Finance, Admin, my personal tutor and teaching staff. I have been assigned a mentor to help me stay connected with university life and the Philosophy department. The modules are contemporary, as are the course materials. The student cohort is diverse and we all connect to the course flexibly, from different time zones. I receive a weekly events newsletter which has plenty of options for attending online webinars and socials.

What students say about teaching-and-training-specific-subjects

Studying at Birmingham Newman University has been a really positive experience overall. One of the best aspects is the strong sense of community — it’s a smaller university, which makes it feel more supportive and personal. Lecturers are approachable and genuinely invested in students’ progress, and it’s much easier to build relationships with both staff and classmates compared to larger universities. Another highlight is the campus environment. It’s compact and easy to navigate, with a friendly atmosphere that helps you feel comfortable quickly. The focus on student wellbeing and support services is also a big plus, especially during busy or stressful periods. That said, there are areas that could be improved. Because it’s a smaller university, facilities and resources can feel a bit limited compared to bigger institutions. There could also be more variety in extracurricular activities and societies to give students a wider university experience. Overall, it’s a great place to study if you value a close-knit, supportive environment, but expanding resources and opportunities would make the experience even better.

What students say about teaching-and-training-specific-subjects

Studying at Birmingham City University in the Curzon building is great because of the modern facilities, comfortable study spaces, and central location, which makes everything convenient. It could be improved by adding more quiet study areas during busy times and better communication about timetable updates.

What students say about teaching-and-training-specific-subjects

The best part of my university experience has been the growth that has happened alongside the degree itself. Studying law has pushed me to think in ways I never had to before. It has made me more analytical, more confident in expressing my opinions, and more resilient when things do not go to plan. Even in moments where I struggled, I realised that I am capable of more than I thought. I have also valued the independence that university gives you. You learn very quickly that your progress depends on the effort you put in. When you show up, engage with the material, and take responsibility for your own development, you can really see the difference. Some of my modules have genuinely challenged and inspired me, especially when the content felt relevant to real world issues. The most difficult aspect of university has been managing everything outside the classroom. Academic pressure, financial stress, and personal challenges can all overlap at the same time. It can feel isolating, especially when you assume everyone else is coping perfectly. I think universities could improve by offering more proactive support, particularly around mental health and placement guidance. Sometimes students need encouragement and structure before they reach breaking point, not after. Overall, my experience has not been perfect, but it has been transformative. I have grown academically and personally, and that growth is something I will carry with me beyond my degree.
