We have placements to practice putting our theory into the real world. We also have settings that are partnered with the uni who have frequent job offers and guest speakers also.

We have classrooms rather than lecture halls so our seasons are more personal and engaging. It’s nice to see our lecturers engage with us and encourage discussion.

Great use of social media. Lovely, welcoming place and great goals and achievements

Very. Especially water fountains. Bigger canteen could be considered? The queues and need to squeeze part people when looking for food is quite displeasing

Beautiful respectful city! Everything you need in a walking distance

Brilliant! Fun and safe nights out

Again, no fault.

My course constantly has talks, and discussions on how to develop my course into every day life and the types of job opportunities available, and gives us opportunities to network with others in the chosen industries we want to venture in. My university also provides a scheme for all the students titled "Worcester Award" aiming from bronze, silver, or gold. Each level has a number of tasks to go through such as record how many volunteering hours and paid work hours in order to complete the award, after documenting the progress and show how insightful these experiences are. We were told it was something to put on our CVs to gain interests from others, questioning the award, and revealing the integrity and determination we have from gaining it.

I like the available opportunities (as previously stated) and the friendly nature of every tutor and the rest of the class. As for teaching methods, some lecturers take us on trips to explore a deeper understanding of what is being taught, as well as exploring different theoretical and analytical ways to explore the meaning behind what is being taught.

I think my students union is open and kind, but can be a bit repetitive when it comes to weekly events hosted. The posters on the back of the loos and in the noticeboards do grab your attention, and helps a lot. Suggestions for improving is to host events (or at least reveal events) on the city campus (as the university is split into two campuses on opposite sides of the river.) I would have also liked to have an event near freshers week about local businesses and industries, instead of hearing about them through others. For example I stumbled across a local environmentally friendly shop who seemed to want to branch out to the rest of the student comunity, but didn't know how to.

Great. All the rooms are nice, minimum technical difficulty when it comes to the IT department. Submitting assignments are clear and straight forward.

In the heart of the city, there's so many new and unique places to hang out with your friends; so many coffee shops if you want to be like the poster of Friends, bars and pubs galore. The shops on the high street are that as expected, and the majority seem welcoming for part time staff, understanding students. The one way road system is troublesome I found, for some drivers, and there are limited amount of parking spaces available in the middle of the city. The library is the best to get the information from, and the required books for specific modules have a blue sticker on them, meaning you can only check them out for a minimum amount of time, so others can also use them. The community is also welcoming and heart warming, with a smile on their faces.

The societies range from one extreme to another: sports to nerds. From football and pole dancing society to DnD and Harry Potter society, there's always something new to find that would intrigue you.

Personally, my tutors are all great with feedback and personal and emotional support. The First Point (reception) are always open with people to help however they can with whatever issue; disabilities, dyslexia testing, finance, counseling. I do know that the list to get counseling is quite long, and definitely not immediate, however I heard there were emergency drop in sessions if you do feel like it is necessary.

They have lots of brilliant teachers who are very professional, positive, and hard-working. The staff are helpful with a good attitude.

I like a different methode in teaching (pedagogical and andragogical approaches), (creative and innovative).

Everything is good.

Every feedback from tutors are good and support learners.

Significant level of work placements compared to other courses. Very supportive staff. Consideration of long term sustainability of career and handling burn-out rather than pushing us to fly too high too soon.

Least - Bit too much self directed learning Most - Student chosen focus and emphasis on USEFUL learning that we will utilise and retain. Empathetic tutors and friendly

Lived away from main campus. Was very forgotten about until recently.

Not too big or scary, really nice and friendly but enough to do and places to go and see

Good

They give us lots of useful web links and takes us to places where we can meet people in the industry. Also it is a 1st term requirement to make a portfolio website which is pretty much the first step to connect with developers.

The list of resources, the module handbook and additional tutorials are all really useful!

It's great that there's a platform where we can talk about changes we would make or just to share our thoughts.

They are all quite modern and very up to date. It would be nice to have a bigger and better soundproofed foley room, but I think it's in the near future plans to be done.

Buzzing and Bristol is a very important place for game development in the UK.

I'm not really into clubbing, however there are lots of Meetups around.

Every teacher (and I mean it) are ready to sacrifice their time in order to give us a one on one session / tutorial. Email responds are quick too and they are all being really helpful.

the 2 weeks of employability really help to give an idea on what is needed when we do leave the bubble of uni life and start applying for postgrad jobs.

have a variety of tutors that have different knowledge and skills that can influence the way we work rather than just having one set way of working.

i think the union do a lot for us and try to get us involved with live briefs and interacting with each other, i don't get involved as i feel it would take up too much of my time and also worried i wouldn't get nominate for a role.

since the new build has been completed the facilities have much more improved and now feel apart of an established uni.

the city is small but theres a lot going on for creatives, music, pop ups, cafes and just interesting places to go looking round. also so many veggie and vegan options which i think is great for a small city.

again to say leeds is a small city there is always so much going on and there is never a weekend you could be bored as theres events all the time, particularly super friendz which i think is a great place to look for gigs and events.

ive had help from all and do think the uni is super supportive and know that students might have worries and problems so make sure the help is there for them if they need it.

The college keeps me updated and informed with information that benefit. They find out about what interests me by questionnaires and advertisements. They have got me involved in finding and organising areas of development for me to progress my skills from and for further progression.

The most I like is the information of what is included and taught within the programme. I have experienced staff/tutors that are passionate about the subject taught. What I don't like is how much there is to provide within this programme within the duration given. I do not like the unnecessary extra work given when there is a 'pile' of 'deadlines' to do and hand in.

It is ok. We could have more photocopying machines for members to use.

The support is available, but at times you may have to investigate further yourself from the initial referral. You may have to go through different sources to get what your enquiring about settled.

WE HAVE WORK PLACEMENTS WITHIN OUR COURSE 3 TIMES A YEAR. CAREERS MEETINGS STUDENTS CAN GO TO IF THEY NEED HELP.

THE MODULES ARE INTERESTING AND INTERACTIVE AND RELEVANT WITH WHAT I WANT TO KNOW. THE TEACHING SOMETIMES NOT PRESENTED AS THEY SHOULD WE FEEL AND COMMUNICATION IS POOR BETWEEN US AND THE LECTURERS.

ITS GOOD

THEY ARE GOOD AND HELPFUL

ITS GOOD WITH MUCH TO DO AND PLACES TO EAT

CLUBS ARE INTERESTED AND SOCIETIES THAT I AM INTERESTED IN AND CAN DO.

THEY ARE GOOD AND HELPFUL

I’m in my placement at the moment, I got my placement through my tutors advice and support.

It is learner centered and very interactive context. The assignment criteria is quite repetitive

Outstanding

My tutors are so supportive they are always working on my development in order to increase my employability through a constructive feedback

We have 2 years of weekly placement at a dance school meaning we are very comfortable with teaching when we graduate. We have lectures specifically focused on how to succeed in our future employment. All the skills we develop are entirely relevant to our career for example our ballet technique, dance science, and dance education.

I like the fact our course is taught on a personal level as I feel my progress is enhanced by the individual feedback. It is varied and engaging making it enjoyable to study. The tutors are all experts in their fields meaning I feel I am learning from the best. I also enjoy that it is busy and there are lots of contact hours as it is good preparation for a career. There is nothing I do not like.

Excellent. The dance studios are top quality and they are constantly developing the university to suit the modern world. It has a lovely character and charm to it which is inspiring.

Living in a city is an amazing experience as there are so many opportunities. There are so many possibilities to develop my studies by going and experiencing London theatre. Occasionally however the course is so busy that I have little time to explore the city but I don’t mind that at all!

We get personal feedback from tutors daily as well as from assessments including useful ways to improve. There is a student support service which I have not yet used however it is comforting to know it is there.
