An absolute awful university...I did hear how University of Wolverhampton had a bad reputation and was no good but I ignored all the advice and still applied and I was accepted. One of the biggest mistakes of my life!! I started Sep 2012 and left March 2013. I did Adult Nursing at City Campus.Could not stay there anymore longer.This university is soooo disorganised that I'm surprised its still a uni. I can now see why it was rated so bad on the university league table.Most of the lecturers don't know what they're doing..they speak to students like they are 5 year olds.. lecturers are so rude and disrespectable...A absolute total waste of time and money and you will never get a job from this uni... Now I see why it has a bad reputation. Anyone has to be a fool to go to this uni..not worth it at all.

Liverpool is an interesting city and the university has invested a great deal into marketing itself as a presitgious, world class university. Its research profile is pretty impressive and as a student here your are bombarded with all the achievements the university has made and the string of historical anecdotes that keeps the university interesting.Though research and history are important this doesn't not translate in anyway to the student experience here. The university is shamefully disorganized and impersonal. My lectures have 10 year old powerpoint slides and academics who don't make eye contact with anyone. Pastoral care is a tick box exercise with little focus on the individual. Apart from a handful of shining examples most of the staff members are palpably uninterested in improving the student experience.The university have you trapped, you're on your course once you enrol and a degree is what you need to go further in the world of employment. If its value for money you want I would stay way. Ultimately you're paying for the piece of paper, not an education.

This is one of the best places where I enjoyed studying. tutors are very helpful and study material is great.

Great place

Simply best in everything.

The University of Northampton is wonderful!A top 50 University! (The Guardian League Tables)Ranked 47/119Winner of the Midlands Enterprising University of The Year 2012

I started here a few years ago. At the beginning, the uni was good and had enthusiastic academic staff. However, from my second year, I got the impression that all the uni is interested in is money and how to get as much as they can out of you. I wouldn't mind it so much if they had kept up the academic standards but alas, this as gone down so much. I commute in and I don't know about certain things like accomadation. PLEASE DO NOT COME TO THIS UNI - IT IS THE GREATEST LET-DOWN!

Looking back, and through my experiences with visiting friends at 'prestigious' or supposedly better unis, MMU proved to me to be everything I could have asked for in a uni, and this is greatly underecognised by snobby league tables and those who only have time for the Russell Group club. However, please bare in mind that I am only speaking from my experience in the area of humanities, and more specifically, the English and Philosophy departments in the city of Manchester (I can't speak for Crewe, Cheshire!). Nevertheless, in all honesty, MMU has unrivalled resources in the form of an extensive, thoroughly organised, efficient and spacious main library (far better than the University of Manchester -no joke!), computers in abundance (never short of far from one) and internet moodle systems and email/correspondence with tutors is very efficient. The careers department is extremely organised and caring and have everything you could want. the campuses are fairly near one another, tidy and easy to navigate. The people in Manchester are some of the most friendly in the world and MMU students are equally friendly, but also a lot of fun. The range of courses and subjects on offer is incomparable with anywhere. It is probably one of the largest in the UK, with the greatest range. This is what causes the downfall in the league tables I feel, as not every department can be perfect. Nevertheless, the international status of the university has grown dramatically since I started in 2010, and it hosts a wide mix of students from home and abroad, also offering many opportunities to spend part of your studies abroad. The academic staff are fantastic. In English

Really regret it wish I had the balls to move away and go somewhere more exciting with better developed courses

The college is a very welcoming and friendly atmosphere. However , during my last course at the college I became increasingly frustrated by the lack of support from several teachers. My main teacher decided to bunk off of our lessons and just left us to it. Not exactly the sort of thing you need when trying to study for your future career!
