Kingston according to me is a multicultural community, with top tier facilities and teaching along with the best environment/location. Every student here or staff I went to and talked are so helpful and sweet, they try to understand you and help a way out , I honestly feel like I have a second home here among ppl at Kingston. The only thing that bothered me or I'll say I suffered was the cost of living but in general the universities accommodation rent . I really struggled with that , but yeah I think its a great spot for international students to come, join the community and learn something new everyday
I enjoy my course , I study pharmaceutical sciences and the teachers here teach you every concept very clearly and if you face any difficulty they always try to respond you. This is the reason why I made up my mind to take a placement year here because it made me realise that this is actually what I enjoy doing.
I am a little disappointed here, everything when I booked online looked great but the rooms are quite small for what I am paying and the rent is too heavy on my pockets, and the most imp thing that triggered was even when I booked a standard room , we were 11-12 ppl sharing one small kitchen, which used to make a lot of mess , nor or less it actually depends on the ppl who you live with that makes your life better but the maintenance and security I will say was very good , I just wish that it had more affordable rent which would have been very helpful for students
My time here has been absolutely amazing! The staff are great and share their passion of the profession with you! It’s a great community feel as the campus is smaller than other universities, this means everyone gets to know each other really well!
The facilities at HSU are state of the art across all the subject areas.
Lulworth halls are good, exactly what you would expect from student halls!
HSU is a great place to learn chiropractic! The tutors and staff are very helpful and want to help you learn the best you can. They start you with hands on learning from day 1 and continually teach you practical skills while developing your theoretical knowledge as well. Because the school is fairly small, all the different year groups know each other and it creates a very close knit society where friend groups often develop between years. There is overall a very good vibe and feel around HSU where everyone is interested in the same field of career, but also want to have fun and enjoy the student experience.
The MChiro course is a hybrid course where you do most of your lectures online through recorded videos so that when you have in-person lectures they are used more for application and practice. For example, we would watch anatomy lectures online then when we had our weekly anatomy lab we would go over practice about naming different bones and landmarks with the tutor. We often have in-person classes 3 days a week which gives us time to do all of the online pre-reading and studying we need to do. The tutors there are all very friendly and wiling to chat with you about anything whenever.
The campus is beautiful, and I love going for walks around Keele Hall. The SU hosts good AU nights, so I would definitely recommend joining a club or society. The campus can be hard to get to from surrounding areas, such as Stoke, Newcastle-under-Lyme, etc as the buses get extremely busy during peak student hours. The surrounding areas don't have a great nightlife, but you can easily get a train to bigger cities, like Manchester and Birmingham.
Most lectures are held in person and are mixed with the other nursing fields (adult and mental health). We typically have one session a week that focuses only on Children's Nursing, but these are long sessions and do last at least 3 hours. I think as the course progresses you have less mixed lectures and they become more field focused.
I stayed in Barnes Z. The rooms and facilities were nice. The doors required you to scan your student pass to enter the building and the flats, and you had to be a resident in the building for your ID card to work.
My experience at Health Sciences University (HSU) has been overwhelmingly positive, and I have loved my time as a student there so far! The university has excellent facilities which are continually being enhanced to give more opportunities for learning. These are available for use during all university opening hours, which is great for practising and additional study with friends when it comes to exam season. The same can be said for the library, which offers a wide range of resources, dedicated study spaces, and friendly, knowledgeable staff who are always willing to help with assignments and academic support. So far, all of my encounters with staff at HSU have been nothing but positive, and I feel thoroughly supported and individually known by them - this is great as I was previously worried about not knowing where to seek advice at university, but staff have made this easily accessible and have encouraged us to have regular contact with them. Lectures for the MChiro course are well balanced with a fairly even spread of contact time throughout the week. The content is interesting and engaging, and links together across units. This is incredibly helpful in making the knowledge feel cohesive, so we can apply it across all areas of our practice, including anatomy and physiology content in our practical and case-based seminars. Overall, the course can be challenging, but the university ensures you never feel out of your depth with the vast support they have to offer from student services to personal support tutors and 1-to-1 meetings that are available with lecturers. Another thing I have benefited from at HSU is the great sense of community that the university has to offer. As a smaller, specialised university, students get to integrate across courses in both professional and social settings, giving a great opportunity to work in multidisciplinary teams during placement years and meet friends with a variety of interests, yet all with the shared value of healthcare and a focus on helping people. I am so grateful for the amazing friends I have made at HSU, many of whom I met during society events and Wednesday social nights at the student bar. These friendships have become one of the most rewarding parts of my university experience! I would highly recommend HSU as a great university for anyone striving for a career in healthcare, with a focus on patient-centred care, and who wants a university experience where they feel valued and part of an impactful community. Not only will you gain great confidence in your abilities, but you will come away from HSU with friends for life and invaluable experiences from the working world, all preparing you for an ambitious future.
The MChiro course is taught through a blended learning approach. Pre-recorded lectures are released each week as preparation for the in-person seminars and lectures scheduled that week. This is highly beneficial as it allows you to review content before lessons, allowing you to ask specific questions about areas you struggle with and the ability to go back and review content multiple times if needed. This is especially helpful during exam revision when reviewing concepts and techniques for practical classes.
Studying the Chiropractic course has been an incredibly positive and rewarding experience. The course is well-structured and provides a strong balance between in-depth theoretical knowledge and hands-on practical skills, which is essential for developing confidence in clinical practice. The lecturers are highly knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely passionate about chiropractic care. They create a supportive learning environment and are always willing to take the time to help students fully understand both the science and techniques behind treatment. The onsite chiropractic clinic during our placement year really stood out to me. It provided invaluable hands-on experience and gave me the opportunity to work with real patients in a supportive environment. This experience significantly built my confidence, improved my clinical skills, and helped me feel much more prepared for practice after graduating. The facilities are modern and well-equipped, especially the clinical spaces, which replicate real-world practice settings. The course also covers a broad range of subjects, including anatomy, biomechanics, neurology, and patient care, giving a comprehensive foundation for a career in chiropractic. Overall, I would highly recommend this course to anyone interested in pursuing chiropractic. It is challenging but extremely rewarding, and it truly prepares you for a successful career in healthcare.
Best aspect: cThe placement year in the onsite chiropractic clinic was the highlight. Working with real patients really built my confidence and prepared me for practice. Worst aspect: Contact time can sometimes feel limited, so it requires a lot of independent study to keep up with the workload.
Best aspect: Living in student halls made it easy to make new friends, and being in the centre of Bournemouth meant I could really explore and get to know the area. Worst aspect: Some rooms are smaller than others, which can feel a bit cramped or slightly claustrophobic at times.
The scenery makes the vibe and energy for students so great, and there is very accessible support from staff who are friendly. Residence life is also great for finding fun things to do as well as ensuring our accommodation experience is positive
Love how personally interested the tutors are in what they’re teaching. Although I wish we received clearer guidance on how to achieve the highest possible grades - students seem to constantly be limited to high 2:1s or low 1s
Mardon hall is the best choice for making true long lasting friends, and the environment is amazing, so nice being catered with other people and also being able to interact with all the people in Holland hall. WiFi isn’t the best sometimes but it’s so nice having our own library which we all use, and a big common room with a pool table for socialising
Health Sciences (AECC) university is an amazing university. The lecturers are very knowledgeable and supportive, and there are plenty of opportunities for both academic and personal development. The facilities on campus are fantastic! It's in a wonderful location next to the beach + surrounding towns.
The course is well structured and provides a good balance between theory and practical application. Lecturers are approachable and knowledgeable, and the learning materials are easy to access. The mix of independent study and taught sessions helps develop confidence and subject knowledge
The university offers lots of support and there is a good balance between studying and having a social life.
Great, passionate lecturers. Coursework is manageable and a lot of help and guidance is offered.
Would not recommend, it is far from everything
It’s a lovely campus and course However the student culture can be very posh and it’s hard to deal with if your not from that background
Some are realy good some are just ok
There was always a strange smell But the library was lovely And so were the staff
