BSc (Hons) Computing

University rating (5)

Great Underrated University with flexible learning; nice, smiling and positive staff. From the admission was straight forward, very efficient and not time wasters, I'm glad I could join and start my learning journey with them (I'm enrolled for BSc Computing). The programme compared with other universities is very comprehensive of blended content both for practical and theory. The lecturers are qualified, clean english speakers and many of them with PHDS done in multiple countries, making the content for learners to stimulate positively. I wish I could have same treatment and quality of contents from the previous university! Suggestions: some workshops for quantum programming, robotics with arduino and raspberry. PS. they got already java, python and maths workshops which are very nice and additional to get confidence into the subject. Everything is great anyways from my point of view!

LLM in Professional Legal Practice

University rating (1)

By far the worst experience of any academic setting I have even had. Working on a distance law degree, in this case the professional legal practice degree, I feel we have been treated with utter contempt. Useless is all I can describe the experience as being. The university cannot even get the exam questions right. The questions had mis-pellings and much worse. The were double figures of incorrectly written questions, with changing subjects within one question. How does that happen at a university. I would seriously suggest avoiding this university.

BA (Hons) Criminology and Psychology

University rating (2)

Low quality of education. Teachers lack academic skills and expertise in the field of knowledge, and with poor knowledge, most are unable to provide you with the right resources and skills for academic success. Some of them speak extremely bad English and then evaluate your work in... English. Most tutors just read PowerPoint slides without proper and deep explanations.

Business Finance

University rating (4)

This university offers a good opportunity to achieve the next higher level in your career. The university offers many flexible study courses in many study areas. This flexibility helped me a lot during full-time employment in Finance & Accounting. I am at the end of my third year in Business Finance and work on my final research and dissertation project. The modules and tutorials are very well and interesting made. All study materials are available online, including an online university library. The study is supported by videos and also live & recorded online tutorials. The tutors were always helpful. For me, the finance and accounting modules were easier to study, like HR or Marketing. Study materials are good but could be updated more often. I think about continuing with my studies and doing my postgraduate degree at this university.

MSc Psychology Conversion Degree (BPS)

University rating (1)

MSc Psychology Conversion Course This course isn't aimed at non-psychology background students. You dive straight into 'Research Methods' without spending a module exploring the fundamentals. They expect you to put in the hours independently which far exceed 20 hours a week when your working full-time. Some week you are provided with only 2 hours. Not all sessions are recorded. Lecturers include students which are working towards a PhD, one of which makes derogatory remarks about their students. I am lucky because student loans are helping recovering funds to make the transfer the another university in May. I am waiting for a written explanation to take this to the BPS & OIA. This university shouldn't be allowed to serve at this standard. Please don't ignore all the bad reviews like I did!!!

BA (Hons) Health and Care Management

University rating (1)

This university is awful, and don’t listen to students needs. Most of the teachers are terrible, and give you no guidance or help during the module. Student support is no better all they do is dismiss your needs, and lack to do their job properly. Once you fall behind with the work they stop caring and push you to the side, overall had a awful experience here and encountered with some manipulative teachers who like to belittle their students within the classroom setting. AVOID AT ALL COSTS, this uni costed me my mental health.

BA (Hons) Criminology and Psychology

University rating (5)

As a first-year student, I do not have a lot of experience with the academic atmosphere, but after two months of study at Arden University, I can tell that I truly enjoy it. The learning materials and the lecturer's teaching manner are outstanding. I would recommend Arden to anybody seeking new challenges in their lives!

Business Tourism

University rating (5)

Well, everything is ok but they should improve in their facilities, like they should need to give to all student travel semester ticket. Because they have a same fee like other private University, but other universities giving a this facility to their students, but Arden university is not. so, I hope they will give this facility to everyone in the future.

BA (Hons) Graphic Design

University rating (3)

It's great that Arden offer the distance learning courses for students who also have full time jobs. The downside to this is the "student life" aspect of the university as it is more difficult to connect and communicate with fellow students, many of whom have different schedules. Motivation is also a challenge when studying virtually alone.
