Hult creates Job fairs and encourages alumni to apply and find the best version of themselves. The career development department is constantly providing knowledge for students to improve their interviewing skills, creating resumes and professional profiles.

What I like the most is how courses are related to real life situations. What I like the least is that the program lasts only one year so many courses are given simultaneously.

Good.

Amazing! Boston is the best city to live in. A lot of students, foreign people and comfortable life.

Very good, academic staff is always pendent of what is happening with students individually .

In addition to providing ample on campus job opportunities for students while in University to develop skills, Richmond pushes students out into the world with strong internship connections both in London and abroad. The strong alumni and current student ties provide further opportunity for employment after graduation, and creates a network of like-minded, successful, and international individuals.

The thing I value most about my International Relations courses are the diversity and specialization within the classes. Having lectures from all over the world allow them to teach from different perspectives and specialize in certain geographical locations or political climates, so you get first hand information from a lecturer that is passionate about their topic. My least favorite thing about my course (and all courses within a liberal arts degree) is that first year general education classes can sometimes feel like a waste. That being said, further down the line you realize that the soft skills you learned in your first year classes are more useful than you originally thought.

Richmond facilities are pretty standard for a university, and recent reservations to accommodations have made living on campus much more enjoyable. Free laundry, postage, and room cleaning are available and very useful, and 24 hour residents life staff on campus are always super helpful.

The city life is wonderful! Being in London, you're surrounded by constant movement and there's always something exciting going on nearby. Additionally, traveling outside of the UK is extremely easy and relativity cheap from London, adding to the student life experience.

Student support is readily available and staff constantly encourage students to reach out for any support they need. While counseling resources do struggle to keep up sometimes, academic/financial/teacher support is never lacking.

You’re offered courses such as Transitions 1 and 2 in your first year where you learn how to make a CV, how to be professional in an interview, how to do a presentation, etc, and there’s also an internship office where you can get a for credit or not for credit internship. This is all organized by the uni so it’s really easy to get an internship in your field as long as you have good grades and show interest.

The classes are really small (I’ve had either 9 or 25 people in my class) so you can easily interact with your teacher and ask questions about what you don’t understand. It’s way easier to overcome your problems when there’s not 100 other students in your classroom. Obviously, the best part of my course (and of all courses) is the fact that you get a dual degree (UK and US) and that’s something you don’t get at other unis in the UK. If I had to change something that would be the possibility to get some extra credit (by doing some extra work) on the courses you didn’t do so well on. But overall I like my teachers and my classes

The university is starting to get modernised (as it is a historic building), and most public facilities are looking good. I like the common room the most because you can be there with your friends and use the vending machine and ping pong table. I think the gym has the basic equipment that you would need but can definitely be improved. As for the rooms, they have whatever you need (including a safe and extra sheets), however, I haven’t seen what other dorms in other unis look like so I can’t really compare. It would be great if they were included in the renovation process!

London is amazing - especially because we have two campuses. At first you’re in Richmond which is really quiet and feels like you’re at home - which makes it really calming for someone like me who comes from another country. Then you go to Kensington, in central London, which makes you feel very independent and “in the city”. There’s somehing new to see every week and you’re never bored in London.

You’re given an academic advisor right from the beginning who helps you with your classes (especially because you get the option to more or less choose your own schedule) and with overall problems in general - so it varies from person to person on the amount of help you get. There’s also peer tutors around who can help you with different classes that you struggle with. I haven’t actually needed counselling but as far as I’m concerned you can get free counselling if you sign up for it. There’s always someone in the student affairs office who can help you with any kind of problems and they’re very kind.

By giving excellent academic learning and skills.

Excellent

The Camborne School of Mines at University of Exeter has provided outstanding guidance and opportunities for my career progression during my time at uni and continues to provide this level of support since graduation. The tight relationship the maintained between the university and its alumni was just one of the things that helped me achieve a high standard graduate role post studies. Lecturers and staff remain as approachable and helpful as ever through communication platforms such as LinkedIn, offering continued guidance and advice for career progression and CPD for example. I truly believe that Camborne School of Mines at University of Exeter has given me the best start to my career and I will remain in touch in the future in the hope I can give back what I myself have gained from my experience at the school.

My course was taught fantastically well and the staff were always approachable, taking time out help with any queries where needed and offering every support with career guidance. I wouldn't say disliked anything about the way the course was taught, however I would have liked a little more option in module selection from other disciplines if that would've been possible. For example, I would've liked to have undertaken the project management and planning module which was available to mining engineering students.

The students union worked tirelessly to provide social and sporting events as well as funds distribution and governance to societies.

Facilities at the Camborne School of Mines are unlike any other in the country for its discipline. The school has fantastic laboratory resources for UG and PG study and licences to industry relevant software. Situated in Cornwall, we had access to weekly field trips to some of the best geology in the country which other Universities could only read about or visit on residentials once a year. On top of which, our course included annual residential trips to help truly immerse in the science and not to mention access to local mines. The school has a strong mining history for which it is renowned and this is supported by its yearly involvement in international industry related competitions

The school is situated in Falmouth, Cornwall which provides a University experience like no other. There is a strong sense of community that comes with a relatively small campus and a high sense of diversity that comes with the presence of two universities on campus (University of Exeter and Falmouth University). Lots of Beach BBQs and beach sports were enjoyed during my time here.

The FXU (Falmouth and Exeter SU) offers a wide range of societies across campus and sports teams which compete within local leagues and historic varsity tournaments against Imperial College London's RSM (bottle match). Due to it's geography however, BUCs competition is lacking here.

The lecturers and university staff offer a high standard of care and tutoring at UoE and the integrated alumni base provides regular networking and guidance to present students. The CareerZone provides continual support for career progression throughout your university life and beyond.

The course modules are designed to help me gain an understanding in health care sector and how to employ transferable skills in working environment. During the period of my studies, the University provides information about work placements.

I like the way this course is structured.

Facilities are good to use.

It hard sometimes in getting into city because of amount of populace travelling on the public transport, otherwise is a great experience.

Great!!

As I am a part of the Hacking society in the university I get to experience a lot of competitions around UK cities and all of them are funded by the university. I can say that the university provides me with travel expenses so I can broaden my connections, skills and knowledge which will help me select my future path of employment.

I don't like specifically about one of my modules, as it was taught too fast and I didn't manage to recap on time. After a certain amount of time and feedback from the students, the module was optimized for students's views and needs. Overall my course is well taught, consisting of 60 % practice and 40 % theory which is perfectly balanced.

As I am a part of the JCR, I tend to say LUSU(Lancaster University Students' Union) tends to support the people quite a lot who are in the JCR and are making sure they are communicating with the SCRs correspondingly, to ensure all events and activies organized by the College JCRs are well funded and managed properly. Also the Union in my university is strongly supporting the students every week with Welfare events, such as de-stress tips and activities.

I live in the university campus and the accommodation is great! I have spacious room, great kitchen with a lot of appliances and two fridges.

Lancaster University has one the best facilities in UK I tend to say. They are being refurbished every 4 months, especially with the accommodation. In my faculty, this year the University has invested nearly 3 million in renovating the computer labs and the University in general at the moment is building a new Health Innovation Campus, which is set to be in-use from 2020.

There are 3 clubs in total in the university and all of them are busy 3/4 during the week so the life is quite busy.

The clubs are pretty busy especially Daltons and Sugarhouse, which are the two most rated places for having a pint and enjoying a Friday night in Lancaster.

In my department I have assigned academic tutor which is my lecturer as well so we are really close to eachother. During my time in the university I had problems and the academic staff have always been there for me and have been supporting me with what they can the whole time.

In our first two years of training, we are treated as students - we are taught technique, and helped to hone our craft. However, in our third year, we are treated as professional actors. Expected to be ready to go, lines learnt for the play/films we are shooting. Although of course we are still taught what we need to know, and reminded of our technique, we are treated like professionals, and when being directed in productions by are tutors, we are expected to treat them as directors and not tutors. Furthermore, in our third year we also study modules which are created solely for the purpose of preparing us for the industry. The first of these is Engaging with the Industry, which is a compulsory module. In this module, we are taught how to correctly write an actors CV, how our headshots should look, and how to do taxes. In addition, in this module, we partake in mock auditions - some of which have led us to getting actual roles. In my case, I have gone on to get a professional voice acting credit working with Southpaw under director Robby Graham. In this module we also have talks from industry professionals, such as Equity, and have the opportunity to ask them questions about their part in the industry. The second module we take is an optional module that runs alongside Engaging with the Industry called Performance Entrepreneurship. This module is designed for those who wish to take other career routes rather than that of the traditional actor - such as comedian, drama therapist, stage manager, events promoter, teacher, aerialist, script writer, director etc. These modules combined with the ongoing work and support of the staff at B&FC have prepared us to go into the industry as work professionals, and not as graduating students who have no idea what to expect.

The course content is delivered thoroughly and effectively through a variety of different teaching methods. Although the basis of the course is learnt through practical sessions, there are also sections which are theory based that help us gain the knowledge before we apply it. There have been staffing changes in my time at B&FC, but I can only say that these changes have been for the better. I can't fault any of the previous staff that have left and gone on to other things, however, the remaining teaching staff are tight knit, intelligent, and work together like a well oiled machine in order to deliver the course content in the most effective ways possible. The thing that I like the most is that we learn to apply the theory (such as Stanislanski, Meisner etc) through practical application. We learn through being practicing actors.

Performance Studios: The performance studios are wonderful spaces to work in, and are able to be booked for rehearsal time outside of teaching hours, should students wish to do so. Monday to Thursday the studios are able to be booked until 9pm, and on Fridays until 5pm. Library: The library has a great number of resources that can be used, including but not limited to books, computers, macs, quiet study spaces, and online access to academic journals. If the library at B&FC does not have the book you require, you can ask at the desk and they can see if it is available to borrow from another library elsewhere in the country. I would argue that there is a need for more computers in the library, however, there are also laptops that are available for student use should all the computers be taken up. Food: The Hub, as it is known, is a fantastic place to get food during the day. Free breakfast for students is served until 9:30am, and a meal deal at lunch time (excluding a drink) costs either £2.50 or £3.00 depending on which meal you decide to buy. The catering staff are wonderful human beings who genuinely care about student satisfaction. There is also an onsite Starbucks which serves Starbucks drinks at a heavily discounted price.

From my first year through to my third year, I have noticed that the support offered by tutors has gotten increasingly better. Feedback is a lot more thorough (although we do not get given grades which I disagree with, just the words used to describe grading criteria, so we can estimate which grade boundaries we are sitting in). We are given verbal feedback for assessments, however we do not get given written feedback (I am unsure if this can be requested or not, however, you can voice record the verbal feedback if you wish). The emotional/personal support offered by tutors has also improved over my time at B&FC, but sometimes the understanding for mental health conditions can be slightly lacking. The personal support offered through other services at the college is fantastic. HELMs (Higher Education Learning Mentors) are brilliant for both academic assistance with essays and other paperwork, and with emotional support and assistance for those who struggle. They are also happy to liaise with tutors on behalf of students if the students feel unable to speak to the tutors themselves, something which can be beneficial for a number of reasons. The counselling service offered by B&FC is fantastic - once you are able to be seen. There are only 2 counsellors working across 3 campuses, and one of these only works one day a week. I have been informed this is due to budget cuts. I am also aware that the counselling waiting list is ridiculously long - I was fortunate enough to be seen as I email right at the beginning of the year requesting sessions.

We have had a lot of opportunities within in the university to increase our employability. We’ve had the chance to work on an advert that was broadcasted around the United Kingdom to promote the university but it was very professional and a proper filming experience. We’ve had the chance to film on location in our acting for camera module where we got to film our scenes in the Blackpool Victoria Hospital. Also, the tutors have a lot of experience in the industry themselves and have a lot of connections, so when we do shows there’s the chance of agents coming to see you and for you to scouted.

I couldn’t pick anything I don’t like about the way our course is taught. Our tutors are very experienced in their field and they know what they’re doing. They will give you the right criticism that you need, even if it is tough, but you know it is only said to make you a better performer. They push you to be best that you can be in your field.

The facilities are very good in the college. It’s not like a normal university where it’s very big but if you need something, they will have it. They have an amazing theatre that’s in the round which is different to most theatres. There’s a lot of rehearsal rooms also which are mostly occupied but they’re very easy to make available if you communicate with them. The changing rooms are a decent size and have everything you need. The canteen is okay priced with good food and the library is very good. Lovely staff that are always there to help.

The support is very good at the university. The staff in the library are very helpful and will always be there for your queries. The tutors will always answer your emails no matter what time it is and if it’s the weekend. They also have HELMs which are really good for help with your academic writing. I haven’t had much interaction with the personal support but I have friends which have used them and they are very helpful and very supportive.

We have been introduced to some great opportunities and some connections to the industry, the teachers there are great. Fair enough the tutors that we’ve have weren’t the best but I’m in my third year now and I’ve never been pushed to my limit as much as I have. It’s been a great experience one that everyone should encounter teaching like it. We have been in an advert during our study, you get to know what acting really is about.

I like the way your tutors treat you with mutual respect. I don’t like how high the prices are at the canteen.

Great

We have HELMS which are great for academics. We also have great tutors who listen and are always on it with safe guarding. If you need anything go to them they will always listen.
