ACM (The Academy of Contemporary Music)

Songwriting - BA (Hons)

University rating (5)

ACM is a vibrant community of budding musicians, who could become your next best industry contacts in the future. If you are looking for opportunities to collaborate, learn more about industry or expand on your current musical ability, ACM provides the best facilities to explore these and more. The tutors all come with relevant experience behind them to help guide and cater to your musical interests and journey. Furthermore, they are always open to questions and providing feedback to ensure you are progressing in the best manner. I am currently a second year undergrad songwriting student and can confidently say that my songwriting ability and confidence, from when I started as a foundation student at ACM, has significantly improved over the course of three years. I think something that is still being improved upon at ACM is it's social media presence and outreach to provide more exposure for this incredible uni as well as the talented and hard-working student community. My best advice for anyone considering studying here is to fully take advantage of everything that is available to you because as with anything in life - action gives you results. Ultimately, ACM is an amazing platform to get your foot into the industry environment but you won't get the results you may be looking for without your contribution to your learning and the community. Overall, my experience at ACM has been wonderful and I would definitely recommend this uni to anyone that is looking for a foothold and growth in the music industry!

Bristol, UWE

Banking and Finance

University rating (4)

My first year studying Banking and Finance at UWE has provided a highly robust foundation in capital markets and financial systems. The absolute best aspect is the practical application of macroeconomic theories and the rigorous analytical frameworks taught by the faculty. The facilities, particularly the trading room simulations, offer excellent asymmetric upside for developing real-world quantitative skills. If I had to suggest an area for improvement, it would simply be expanding the availability of niche financial technology modules earlier in the undergraduate curriculum to stay ahead of market trends. Overall, an excellent ROI for my educational capital, and Alhamdulillah for the highly supportive environment.

Psychology

University rating (5)

What I’ve enjoyed most about studying at UWE Bristol is how friendly and supportive the environment is. The lecturers are approachable and willing to help when needed, and the student support services make it easier to settle in and manage university life. The area that could be improved would be the communication on our assignments and clear guidelines on what is expected.

Bristol, UWE

Accounting and Finance - BA (Hons)

University rating (5)

One of the best aspects is the supportive learning environment. UWE offers study support for academic writing, referencing, research skills, time management, IT help and English language support, which is very useful for students who want to improve their academic confidence. Another strong point is the facilities. UWE has study spaces, computer labs and learning zones across its campuses, and students can either book spaces or use some on a walk-in basis. This makes it easier to study individually or work in groups. Sometimes the university can feel very busy, especially during peak times in the library, study areas or student services. Some students may also find it difficult to access quick support when many people need help at the same time. Communication can sometimes be improved too, especially around timetable changes, deadlines, assessments or available support services. To improve UWE Bristol, the university could provide more quiet study spaces during exam periods, faster responses from student support teams, clearer communication through one main platform, and more affordable food options on campus. It would also be helpful to offer more practical workshops linked to employability, such as CV writing, interview practice, placement preparation and networking with employers.

Health Sciences University

Radiography (Radiotherapy and Oncology)

University rating (5)

Honestly the biggest thing for me has been the support system throughout the course. Being on a radiotherapy degree can be really intense mentally and emotionally, especially during long placements, but I’ve always felt like there were people I could go to when I needed help or reassurance. Placement experiences have definitely been the most valuable part of my uni journey because they’ve helped me grow so much in confidence, communication, professionalism, and patient care. I feel a lot more work-ready now after being in real clinical environments and working with actual patients and MDT teams. The course itself prepares you well for the realities of working in healthcare and gives you opportunities to develop both practical and personal skills. At times the workload could feel quite intense, especially when balancing placements with assignments and revision, but that’s expected within a healthcare degree and the student services and course lecturers were there to help and support me every step of the way!

Bristol, UWE

Law and Criminology - BA (Hons)

University rating (1)

-To be honest this university has been -disappointment after disappointment. -First of all, on countless occasions deadlines are changed and marks are 90% not given back on time leading to anxiety all day when they’re supposed to be back but rarely are- with no apology. Not really fair considering students must adhere to the deadline. This has happened even in third year. My friends at other universities receive feedback within 10 days and uwe is within 20days but this rarely happens. -On many occasions (over 15 times over 3 years) I turned up to my timetabled seminars and teachers would not turn up, this frustrated many pupils, especially those who have to commute. Not really value for money:/ I have told this to my friends at other universities and they have been shocked told me this is not normal -the UWE Harvard referencing guidance is poor, not clear and does not give every example. On multiple occasions I have messaged the librarian chat, had responses from UWE librarians and they've been just as confused as me!! -all of my friends at other universities received their graduation dates months before us meaning they could plan effectively beforehand. Because of this my parents cannot book holiday to attend. Shocking because the uni would have been aware of the date prior. Poor responses from many of the teachers when emailing them a query- often not directly responding to the question asked, very shortly replies and not helpful whatsoever - Although the lectures are supposed to be recorded, many times they are not are uploaded weeks later and sometimes without sound or inaudible. So cannot catch up after sickness etc. -The careers toolkit chat bot is ridiculous, why is this not a communication via email? Also the replies are very long I would not recommend this university. My friends have also had poor experiences. Such a shame because if I knew of the shortcomings I would not have applied.
