Northumbria University, Newcastle

Criminology

University rating (5)

I like the location of the uni and how the lecturers are really passionate about what they’re talking about it could be improved by further student support in harder modules especially in first year

Fine Art (with Integrated Foundation Year) - BA (Hons)

University rating (4)

It's great for people who want to experience university life in a city location but also not too busy all the time. The university itself could be better if we had more contact time with the university, and a few more facilities, like a kiln.

Edge Hill University

Biomedical Science

University rating (5)

1. My university Edge Hill, is a fantastic place to study! The staff are so supportive and friendly to students, they are always ready to help and lecturers are patient and passionate for their subject. There is support everywhere from students from career advice, to academic writing, and also wellbeing support. The facilities available are all new and modern. From laboratories in science based subjects to the sports centre facilities are new. There is also a vibrant community at Edge Hill which instantly made me feel more at home, people are welcoming and there are many societies to get involved in. 2. My university could improve by having more affordable shops on campus. The Morrison in "The Hub" is too expensive and not always convenient because prices are too high for things. I'd also appreciate for every accomodation hall to have their own washing machine, so it is more affordable for students to wash their clothes. It is also inconvenient that the EdgeLink bus only runs Monday to Friday, so on weekends us students have to walk 30 minutes to get into the town. This is especially inconvenient during winter when it gets dark early and especially if you are a lady.

University of Strathclyde

Journalism, Media and Communication and Psychology - BA (Hons)

University rating (4)

The atmosphere at this university is great! The union is always lively, with pool and darts, hot food, music and lots of room for socialising. Even when in class it feels great, the lectures are always informative and the seminars mean that the tutors can really help and talk to the students. I like the fact that each semester the students can choose their own seminar times, creating a timetable that suits their schedule. The location of this university is one of my favourite things, such a close walk to the main shopping street and some great places for food. Also close to to GCU which is great as the students can mix and hang out together. Overall this university is a great place to apply and i am very happy with the decision i made!

University of Chester

Counselling Skills and Psychology - BA (Hons)

University rating (5)

Chester is a fantastic university with such a lovely atmosphere. The lecturing staff have all been amazing on my course with a special mention of the counselling skills lecturers who always go the extra mile and try to make our experience as students as enjoyable and accessible as possible. I went to another uni a couple of years ago and didn’t get on well there, the feel was completely different (not very warm/welcoming and the lecturers weren’t really interested in our wellbeing or making the lecturers engaging) - after my first experience I didn’t see myself trying university again, but Chester has completely changed things for me and I have made some great friends and have thrived on my course. Highly recommend :)

As my course was moved to Gateway in year 2, I have not had much experience at the main campus and would not choose to go there to study.

University of Essex

Psychology with Cognitive Neuroscience (Including Placement Year)

University rating (4)

Best would be the freshers week and the campus itself, worst is how far away shops are. The buses can get quite expensive when you use the bus a lot so maybe cheaper travel to main town?
