Studying Accounting and Finance at the University of Huddersfield has helped me develop my knowledge, practical skills and confidence. One of the best aspects is learning how accounting and finance concepts apply to real business situations, which supports my future career ambitions. As a mature student and mother, the most challenging aspect is balancing university work with family responsibilities, particularly when there are long gaps between classes. A more compact timetable, clearer assessment guidance and more support with finding relevant work experience would improve my experience. Overall, I value the opportunity to study and develop professionally, and I would like to see continued support for students with caring responsibilities.
The best aspect of my Accounting and Finance course is the range of subjects covered, including financial reporting, management accounting and corporate finance. I enjoy calculations and practical tasks that help me understand how businesses make financial decisions. The course has also helped me develop my Excel, analytical and problem-solving skills. The most challenging aspects are balancing deadlines across modules and managing a timetable with long gaps between classes, especially alongside family responsibilities. Group presentations can also be challenging for me. More worked examples, clearer assessment guidance and additional practice with ICT assessments would help build my confidence. Overall, I value the knowledge and skills I am gaining. More opportunities to use accounting software and gain relevant work experience would make the course even stronger.
The staff really care. Like actually care. I had talked to my teacher about struggling recently with a large bout of depression, when COVID hit. My roommate traveled home when the lockdown was announced and I emailed the teacher asking for an extension on an assignment on the grounds of mental health struggles. That teachers would call me once a week to check in on me and we'd video chat for an hour, from March until late May, until I was finally able to afford a plane ticket home and be around other people. Those video chats kept me alive. I had a very rough few years but the staff always helped me find a solution. I'm graduating 5 years after the rest of my peers but I am graduating and with 2nd class honors no less. It wouldn't be happening with out the kindness of more than 10 members of staff from the admin office, to my professors. These people care about you, they want you to be safe, happy, and educated.
1st year sucks a bit because the lecture halls are so massive but every year after that gets better and better. Within the P/IR course in 3rd and 4th year what i really appreciated was the balance of what I am are hard skills kind of courses ( Maritime Security where we reports as if we are submitting briefings to the minister of defense, analyzing threats and seeing how the British fleet can be best utilized) and classes that give you a more rounded view of the political realm like good governance and corruption, which delved into the obvious forms of corruption and moved toward the more obfuscated methods of corruption and showed us how difficult it is to fully exclude corruption from the government processes because it is so much more than what we typically imagine when we think of corruption. Courses like 9/11 the Chilean Revolution pull back the curtain on what a "good" government is willing to do when it thinks its being threatened. As an American Citizen it was very interesting to me to see a side of our country that I had never seen hide nor hear of. It allowed me to have a more well rounded view of my country. The teachers are all very passionate about their classes in 3rd and 4th year which is quite infectious
South house was $110 per week when i lived there and the following year I rented an entire apartment by myself, closer to campus for $450. At southhouse even though we were 4 clean girls and clean the shower every week there was always an orange mold in the shower. It was safe there, a nice thick wood door at the apartment entrance and at our bedroom doors. I would run around the hillhead campus when insomnia flared up often between 1 and 4 am, so i felt pretty safe. It wasn't dirty. they did lots of activities for the student in the shared dinning/ social hall that right by
The facilities are fantastic with lots of available support and modern study spaces. There is an extremely welcoming atmosphere within the University and support systems included. I feel more advertisement at the end of lectures for example is needed for the facilities such as the career centre so that more people are made aware of what is available to them.
I really enjoy learning however feel that some rooms are too small for the amount of people in them. During learning i like to use my notebook as well as laptop so need space to spread out and some classrooms don’t comfortably allow for this. Lecturers are easily contactable and happy to help, they are encouraging and help with any content you may need going over. Online and in person lectures deliver the same value of content which i believe is very informative.
I had a very unlucky experience when it came to the allocation of my room. There was a leaking toilet which the maintenance staff didn’t realise until I had been living there for multiple months after contacting them about it constantly. I feel that the actual rooms and experience that is generally had in seething wells is lovely and a perfect university start, however the issue with my room lead to difficulty in communicating with maintenance staff and meant i had to go home very often. I really enjoyed the community atmosphere of living with all of my friends and there were communal spaces such as a common room provided for events and interaction. I feel that my experience was certainly not one that would come under value for money however i know that for some people in seething wells, it certainly was.
I like how the university campus is really contained to one area of Aberdeen so it's really easy to get around and meet new people, but that there's also a whole city outside the campus. The campus itself is really beautiful and I love the mix of modern buildings (like Sir Duncan Rice Library) and old buildings (like Elphinstone Hall), although some of the older buildings could benefit from better heating or double glazing. I really like the Union and how long the coffee shop there stays open, and that the merch is reasonably priced.
There are very few lecturers that I find are unengaging and every lecturer that I have contacted with a question has been very helpful and encouraging. All the lectures are recorded and lecture slides are normally posted in advance of the lecture which makes following along really easy.
I'm a huge fan of the university as a place, and the quality of the teaching has been consistently high. That being said, I'm not a huge fan of my department being put up for cuts disproportionate to other departments, or of a huge number of the staff who I rely on being told they might be made redundant for no reason.
The lecturers are all very interested in providing a good experience for students, and the quality of teaching has been consistently high while keeping the content engaging.
For me the only issue with Moberly is that its a bit of a trek to get anywhere from. This wasn't a huge issue but did make going to the shops a bit annoying! Apart from that genuinely seemed great value for money and better quality than even the more expensive options the university offers.
The student services and support are very receptive and attentive to students’ issues, keeping abreast of everything going on in the nation and internationally to best tailor their assistance. There is a large focus on the student community, through student life and wellbeing which along with the environmental consciousness makes it a relaxing place to study. The university could improve by investing more in industry research partnerships and collaborating with startups, which would create stronger networking and career opportunities for students while raising Kent's research profile.
The best aspect about my course is the lecturers. They are attentive and take great care and pride in their work. They do care about students and go above and beyond to assist. The main drawback is the limited industry partnerships which restricts opportunities for internships, professional development and direct networking with STEM companies.
I have stayed in Keynes College and Becket Court, 2 university accommodations on campus and have had similar experiences in both. Location is ideal, feel quite safe in the accommodation and on campus on a whole, room allocation has been good over the past 2 years but this year I did run into some issues with what I deem to be a simple request to be returned back to my same room I had last year. I requested this from what I see to be plausible reasoning, as an international student, it would have been nice to be returning back to a similar space and feel and smooth over the re-acclimatization process. I did not give any problems, leave any damages to the room, nothing of the sort. I was a great tenant so I find it hard to understand why I could not of been re-allocated the room. I requested I believe 2+ weeks before rooms were allocated and there are still 3rd year+ students staying in the room right next to my desired room and along the same floor, I too am on the same floor, so I really do not fully understand why re-allocation was such a problem.
I am very grateful for the opportunity to study at London Metropolitan University. I am looking forward to learning, developing my skills and actively participating in university life. I will always try my best to be a responsible and dedicated student and make the most of my time at the university. Thank you for your support and guidance. Kind regards, Lovish
I am very happy with my course so far. I particularly like the range of subjects covered and how the course combines economics, finance and international business. The teaching is clear and engaging, and the lecturers are supportive and approachable. I also appreciate the practical learning and the opportunities to develop skills that will be useful for my future career. I have not experienced any major negative aspects so far, although I would appreciate even more practical activities and opportunities to apply what we learn in real-world situations. Overall, I am enjoying my course and looking forward to developing my knowledge and skills further.
Best experience was meeting people in societies that’s where I mainly made friends. The worst is probably my flatmates being dirty in our shared accommodation, like not cleaning up after themselves especially in the toliet
Best is obviously the content being very interesting so when I’m writing my essays I feel as though like I enjoy them. Worst is probably me on me if it’s a morning lecture I may not be fully there from just waking up
You don’t really know what room you get so last year tho I liked my room I didn’t like that it had a glass window on top of the door so whenever someone would pass by to go to the toilet or room the auto light would come inside my room and it’s especially annoying when it’s like 1am for example. Though I do love my privacy and it’s a very decent room for the price so no complaints there
The community is great
Yes a good mix of all
Yes all 3 years have been great
