Currently i am in my 3rd year (of 4) and really enjoy studying at the university of Cumbria. Lecturers are friendly and approachable. They know you by name and not a number which Is something you may not get at larger universities. The campus is fairly small but I think this is a good think as you get to know lots of familiar faces. its no secret that the accommodation is slightly out-dated now and could do with refurbishment however, you get what you pay for (which is cheaper than the prices at many unis) and you get everything you need. Toilets/ bathrooms are communal but you get used to it. Lancaster compared to many cities is relatively small but for a night out its not bad, The 2 main clubs are Sugar house and elements but there is also lots of other bars to go to like Yates, mint, Weatherspoons (which there's 2 of) and hustle, just to name a few.

The university has an amazing campus right in the middle of the city. The people around are the friendliest you'll probably ever meet. The student union is one of the best in the UK, with incredible night life. Good lecturers, nice modules, I love everything about the university.The downside is perhaps the cold weather, but can't complain about that once you opt to study in Scotland.

The university is excellent for teaching, but the university is lacking in organisation when it comes to posting information about the course and placements. They delay in informing people about the placements and so leave people panicking about where they need to go and travel arrangements. The social aspects of the university are fantastic as making friends and want to join clubs is great as everyone including the staff are amazing . The facilities at university are good Tobit sometimes the computer software does not work as expected and so can limit taught sessions.

A generally good experience. Some tutors are excellent, some are less supportive. The course is great with many opportunities for different placements and styles of learning. The library could be bigger and better resourced however there are some other good facilities. Plenty of opportunities to join societies and clubs and complete any extra training. The city is vibrant and lively but safe and homely.

The Uni always asks for reviews at the end if each module so that they can improve each year, this really helps because when we move up a year we get better teaching! There are loads and loads of extra clubs to join and if there isn't any suited to you you can ask to start a new one up! The Uni cpd group are so helpful and organise lots of useful things for students!

Recently graduated from the University of Cumbria (Lancaster campus) and had an amazing 4years there. I studied Primary Teaching and I am now working in a Primary School, so it did pay off. The lecturers I had were all lovely and very encouraging throughout my time there. Lectures and Seminars were very informative, but sometimes did lack a bit of creativity.....death by PowerPoint springs to mind. The library resources could do with some new updated books, but this didn't inhibit me from doing well in all assignments, you make use of what you have.First year has got to be the best time I had. Staying in uni halls (Mill Hall) were amazing, great location right in the city centre, but still very safe and secure with night security always available. The city itself has a great buzz about it, with plenty of things to do, from nightlife, restaurants, cinema, snooker hall or just plenty of pubs for a chilled out night....and a decent shopping town too. All in all I had a great 4 years :)

The course is fantastic!!! The lecturers are great and always got time for you!!! I have been with the same people since first year which so really got to know everyone now!!! Nights out are great and cheap, there's only a few places to go in town but its always a life and you end up meeting everyone there. The best thing to do is throw yourself into a sports team/society! That way your out every week and meet so many more people. I wasn't really impressed with the placements I have been given as they were mostly in villages and rural areas and I plan to work in a city. But that's just me, most people seem to get placements in areas they plan to get jobs! Halls were great - with everyone really social able and 'm still friends with the people I lived with in first year!!!

Nice city and lovely people. Uni facilitaties are fairly good, most lecturers really helpful but some are disapointting as far as support is concerned.

The lecturers on every module of this course are some of the most driven and passionate professionals I have ever come across - pushing you to be the best you can be.The Student Union is very visible on campus and the Sabs are incredibly approachable and friendly.Being on a vocational teaching course, my job prospects are potentially higher than those for students on purely academic courses but this hasn't stopped lead lecturers created modules focussed entirely on helping secure an NQT teaching post.Lancaster is a nice city but can feel quite limited in things to do, both during the day and at night.The halls of residence I stayed in in first year weren't incredible but were liveable, with good access to quality dining facilities.I've really enjoyed my time at University of Cumbria and I will miss it dearly.

The lecturers for this course are some of the most enthusiastic and driven professionals I've come across - always pushing you to be the best you can be.Being on a vocational, teaching course, my job prospects are better than some pure academic courses and, being in my final year, there is a lot of emphasis on how to get an NQT teaching post.The Student Union is very visible on campus and the Sabs are approachable and are driven to make sure their students are represented.Lancaster is a nice town but it can feel quite limited in things to do - both during the day and at night.The rooms in my halls of residence in first year weren't amazing but were perfectly liveable with access to a good dining facility.
