Although I dont get a lot of contact time with the university, i have found the experiences i have had to be really, thoroughly supportive, with excellent communication and troubleshooting. the teaching has been fantastic. the campus is clean and all of the facilities are modern and impressive. the library has been super easy to access and use when ive needed it. i dont have much engagement with the SU or student life so find it hard to comment, but from what i have seen i am very impressed and i think i would have been very happy undertaking a full time course here, especially for my undergraduate. I always talk very highly of Aston university. it is also very well placed, a short walk from the train station, and near to the city centre. for my course, it is amazing that it has a hotel on campus, as this makes everything a lot easier when i visit. i imagine the student accommodations are really nice too. overall, i have been more than impressed with the university, having my own undergraduate university to compare it to - it is much more personal and you feel a lot more directly supported and not just like a number in the system.

The best aspect for me is the location. I love being so close to Brighton and Stanmer park. There have been times where I have felt I could use with more support/ input from lecturers or tutors this term and I have felt very overwhelmed and burnt out adjusting to the new style of learning. Maybe for the first term students could receive more guidance if they feel necessary?

Sussex uni is awesome! It's a nice, green, quiet campus. Just a 10 minute train journey away, or 25 minutes on bus, is Brighton city centre - an amazing city with a great beach. The uni offers lots of support for students e.g. for wellbeing and also support for disabled students. Every student is assigned a personal academic tutor who is the same person for the entirety of your degree and who writes any references for you. I love my Law (LLB) Hons course, it's super interesting, relevant and practical e.g for pursuing a career in law. I get emails all the time about opportunities and events specifically for law students, focused on careers and employability. Teaching is great, lectures and seminars, are great. Every lecture is recorded so if you can't make or just want to watch it back it's really useful. Staff really want you to do well and will always endeavour to help or answer any questions / concerns you have. We have access to all the resources for every module and reading lists, on a platform called Canvas which is super handy and neat and tidy - everything is in one place.

I’m not sure. The atmosphere is always great and there’s always loads of stuff to do. I also like the little food stalls in the students union square.

Supporting staff and great campus

Love Newcastle as a city, and does always feel like you can get some support - but more open support and making sure to follow up if appointments are cancelled (not by studentys) would be beneficial

The PGR can be slow. But who will really work with you in the phd are great! Amazing people, amazing workers

The best part of my uni experience has been the supportive staff — you can easily talk to them, ask questions, and book office hours for 1-to-1 conversations, plus there are plenty of resources to help you learn better.
