Lecturers explain well, moodle’s system sometimes down

The law block seems very spread out and lacks a specific building like business, ect. Sometimes don’t feel you have a central place to belong on campus and feel very scattered about

Yeah better diverse oppurtunity and a good town

Issues with the WiFi across campus, haven’t been very strong. Is not many spaces to socialise with others (relatively small shared kitchen) can feel cramped with housemates

everything is really interesting and easy to access; some of the teachers can be a bit monotone at times which is nothing against them personally just sometimes can make it hard to follow a lecture

everything is well kept and well maintained with workers always on hand if need be and making sure people keep the place safe and tidy, also their quick response times to any maintenance reports is very useful, for what I am spending on a room you get a good amount of storage space and privacy, everything is done amazingly

One of the best aspects of the course is the well-chosen study materials. For each week’s topic, there is an extensive list of interesting reading – articles or chapters from books. Most of these are digitized, making them easily accessible. A downside is the heavy workload involved in seminar reading for some courses – they often require reading two or three 30-page articles each week for a single course, which is unrealistic given the need to prepare for written exams, write essays and fulfil non-academic commitments.

Nelson Court is very conveniently situated directly opposite the university’s main building. In terms of location, it’s a very good hall of residence as it allows to wake up an hour before lectures start. With this in mind, I can study late into the night and still get at least four hours’ sleep. However, there is virtually no space in the kitchen at Nelson Court to store medium or large plates, saucepans, frying pans or baking trays. You have to keep all of these in the room and take them to the kitchen when needed. There’s very little space in the fridge – 11 people might live in one block, and they’re forced to share a single full-size fridge and a mini-fridge. The rooms at Nelson Court are larger than those at The Village, but they have a strange carpet-like floor covering which brilliantly absorbs all the damp dirt and doesn’t look very good due to its age. The Village is situated further from the campus, but still within a reasonable distance. It is much closer to Aldi, where you can do your grocery shopping on a budget. The rooms at the Village are smaller, but the flooring is better, and the kitchen has cupboards where you can store kitchenware. In both halls of residence, a cleaner comes once a week and does a thorough job of cleaning the kitchen. The biggest drawback is the high rent for a small room with a kitchen that you have to share – 820 pounds a month.

All the people and quite friendly and approachable, and they keep a balance of formality so it’s easy to speak to the lecturers if needed as there’s a level of good and easy communication but at the same time as the students all having respect for the lecturer

like the way the course is taught

I stayed in the less modern area, was cold and damp. with mould. paying £202 a week for a mouldy room.

My business accounting course is well structured. Most lectures and seminars are delivered in person. Tutors are knowledgeable and responsive when I reach out for help. The course content covers core accounting and business knowledge, which builds a solid foundation for further postgraduate study. The seminars give us chances to discuss case studies with classmates. One small drawback is that some modules have heavy reading and assignment workload in certain weeks. Overall, I am satisfied with this course and it has helped me improve my academic skills a lot.

Course is challenging but the help is supported

Genuinely great teaching, I am really wanting and willing to learn about the new things I am learning and to rediscover the things I already knew
