I would recommend any one trying to get a further education to strongly think about university of the west of England, all the lecturers are friendly and very approachable and the city life is one of the best in the UK.Uwe also has lots of local amenities such as gyms, cinemas and bowling plus loads more

My experience at the Met was very positive. You won't find an institution that feels as personal as the Met. Very quickly you learn to know everyone and it's all quite liberal and flexible, which I think is very important when studying filmmaking. For me - it was the right place at the right time.

Fantastic! The people, activities and facilities are more than you could expect! A true pleasure to study at.However they did have an arms fair on campus recently much to the displeasure of the student body and did nothing about it (not to mention it broke campus rules: NO WEAPONS ON CAMPUS!)Though I'd still recommend it to anyone, it's been an amazing few years

My course which is Journalism and PR is very disorganised, with not even lecturers knowing why us pupils have been placed into their modules. However, the uni does have a lot to offer, but doesn't seem to help the students to their fullest. Having limited staff is also an issue. The uni promised very good student support, and being a foreign student, I haven't found that there is any support at all.

A uni with a great social scene, it has a huge number of students so you'll never be at a loss for finding friends and having a social life. This is especially great considering it's in Bristol, for those who haven't been before visit, it's a great city with an amazing nightlife, that is if you stay away from the obvious dives (oceana, syndicate, etc). The course for me (Law) is like many others i imagine at all universities, not much contact time, very little face time with lecturers, i think over a 3 year period only one lecturer knows me, and that's just my face, not my name. If you like independant learning to the extreme then you're in for a treat. Great facilities mind, a 24 hour library with access to loads of different databases. A good uni. Like most unis it's what you make of it. But if you're between UWE and some similiarly ranked uni elsewhere then come here just for the city. It'll be worth it. Peas

The placement opportunities that the university provide are an excellent experience and from talking to other teaching students from other universities not all universities offer the opportunity to apply their knowledge in a learning setting. The modules, university and tutors all support this learning and development.

This University might not be the richest one or the largest however in quality of lecturers, research and academic rigour is one of the best ones. I did Psychology at Abertay and although Dundee is not a great place to live, I was constantly challenged and enocuraged to give my best. the lecturers are really good, experienced staff committed to research and not just PHD students like in other Major institutions. Abertay Lack the funds to have huge facilities and resources, thats a fact, yet it challenges lecturers and students to be scientifically creative everyday. I am really satisfied with my outcome and learnings, yet, I know sometimes the name of some universities is stronger than their academic quality and I know this as I know people who did my course in major universities and their Critical, theorerical and scietific approach to models and theory are very low as compared with most Abertay Students.

UWE has a lot to offer in the sense of the range of courses (there's something for everyone!) and they have a good amount of teaching time on courses. I rated accommodation low because I've not lived in halls so I have based it on what I have heard from friends. The university is quite unorganised at times, you have to pay for printing and parking is terrible and expensive. Although, I enjoy my course, I did expect more value for the huge amount of money we all have to pay!

Having been based on Frenchay Campus, I can tell you that it's a really open and student friendly environment. It's carefully thought out and designed to be a really nice to be in and functional place to go to uni. The atmosphere is brilliant and the eating/drinking/socialising areas are really well located to be a relatively short distance from wherever you are. The lecturer's I've gotten to know have all been really approachable people and genuinely seem to care about how they can help. Whether it feedback on an essay or help finding time to catch up on stuff you've missed or need help on.The social life/nightlife at UWE is brilliant, with so many societies catering for anyone's taste's it's really easy to find like minded people and get to know them over something you're both interested in.

UWE is a great university in the sense of the range of degrees offered, the structure of degrees and the hours of teaching. However, they are very unorganised, parking is expensive and printing costs even though we're paying £9,000. Value for money needs to be improved.
